Why Local SSDs and Hard Drives Are Still Superior to the Cloud
Cloud storage is better, faster, and more affordable per gigabyte than ever before. However, relying solely on cloud storage can leave users vulnerable to data breaches, loss of access due to internet outages, and slower recovery times. Storing data locally on a physical drive provides greater speed, availability, and control over sensitive information. Local storage also offers security and compliance benefits, such as avoiding foreign laws and regulations that may apply to overseas data.
- Cloud storage can be less secure than local storage, making it more vulnerable to cyber attacks and data breaches.
- What measures will cloud providers take to ensure the long-term availability and security of user data in the event of a catastrophic failure or global shutdown?
