Will people ever learn NOT to trust any cloud provider for storing their data? Especially when they have those “unlimited” and “lifetime “ deals?! Make your home NAS setup, it’s not even expensive.
Why the rush? Given the growth in hard drive space, putting off making a home NAS for as long as possible seems more economically efficient. If I'd setup a home NAS with three drives for raid5 in 2012 when Google drive was first released, I'd have on the order of 8TB + 4TB parity, assuming I bought the biggest drives available then, which wouldn't have been cheap. Instead, by waiting until this announcement, that money didn't go to depreciating hardware that's ancient by this point and instead could go into an index fund or other investment. By waiting until this year (2023), the home NAS I bought drives for this year is comprised of 18 TB drives.
