Re: let's discuss cloud versus harddrives for storing data!
Re: let's discuss cloud versus harddrives for storing data! H, the only problem I've ever had myself with an external backup involved a really dodgy power cable which eventually caused the drive to short, indeed it probably wouldn't be an issue now since I could just get the cable replaced. That was a c gate drive which initially put me off them as a brand, but I've since tried others that have been fine.Currently, I have a 2 tb c gate external drive plugged into my pc which was previously my backup drive, which is now almost precisely 9 years old and still running fine, indeed the only reason its not my backup drive anymore is that I needed a larger one, said larger one is in a box in my bedroom, and is still working absolutely fine, then again it only gets used once a month or so. the only major problem with c gate is having to remove their own inaccessible backup software programs, but once you clear the drives they work absolutely fine, or at least that's been my experience.

Re: let's discuss cloud versus harddrives for storing data! Harddrive is preferable, just keep an external SSD and do regular backups. Something people don't think about is that cloud services are subject to DMCA, so they'll scan the words and contents of whatever you upload against a central database and block it if it matches. I had this happen with my Audiocraft prototype with Goodle Drive which was called audio_minecraft at the time, dispite the fact that it had nothing to do with minecraft proper other than the name.

Re: let's discuss cloud versus harddrives for storing data! Actually Backblaze is very reasonable. It's $5 per month or $50 per year, per computer. Unlimited data, from any number of local drives. They won't back up network drives.I was able to upload about two terabytes of material to Backblaze in a few weeks, with a 30 megabit per second upload speed.
