You are contradicting yourself. Btw, please dun tipu here, dun make LYN become FB all scammers.

Uncle know u like u talk big and talk cock…please go away.

You don’t have kids to take photos or videos that will eat up space. 10 mins video is close to 1gb already I think. If you don’t have real time automatic back up, you’re prone to losing weeks or months of contents. Phones get lost, water damaged, stolen.. and in my case, just died without a warning after 6 years. But thanks to iCloud, I did not lose anything. I got a cheap phone and have my phone restored exactly like it was 2 hours ago in minutes

Some people say they back up off line like once every week. Really? Can you do it religiously every week? People get busy and forget to do routine things like this. Paying a bit for cloud storage means we can take one thing off our mind and make life easier.

Anyway your files not important. Lose also never mind. Sure. But our stuff are invaluable memories.

My point is I don’t understand why people complain shit like 256gb phone is nOt EnOugHt memory. Like the better way is to store things in the cloud and not have everything offline

that's how you and million of ppl out there kana brainwashed

i tried icloud

not convenient since u need to download to view full size,means u at the mercy internet connection if you're outside, recently digi very cb also

contradicting what? all i said were if your data is important, makes as many backup as possible. if porn video is important to you, then do it.

Interesting discussion. I recently bought two SanDisk SSD 1TB at RM600 each from Shopee Official San Disk store.
Keep all important backups. One SSD keep at home and one SSD keep at my parents home.
Like they said: don't keep all eggs in one basket.
These SSDs are also password protected.
I prefer this method of storage.

and cloud storage are not the only solution my dear, if you think cloud storage give you a good value, then keep using it forever

You can always choose to keep local copy.

when was the last time u bought hdd bro?

for <rm200 u can get 2TB HDD already. or 1GB SSD

i have been using samsung evo 850 ssd for the past 7 years still gooding

this one primarily for back up purposes

but why? you can just buy nvme enclosure and pcie3.0 nvme disk(slow but cheap) from reputable companies.

Donno, >3 years back? Back then when Google gave out unlimited photo storage, we kept all our photos on it. Then when Google taketh it away, I went shopping around and settled on Onedrive.

And since Onedrive came with it's own storage, my little server saw less and less use, so I gradually retired the whole thing.

Yes, when I set up my server many years back, I learned that for personal use, manual backups are ok, but if I expect others (my family) to use it, it must be near effortless.

year 2023 and people keep talking about HDD. 4TB SSD can be lesser than rm700 already from chaina brand, i even see less than rm650 when on sales.
seagate will be a thing of the past if they cant manufactured their HAMR based HDD.

local copy then it's will eat my internal storage

I don't like sync also, it will eat my battery

+1
once u use SSD , there is no way to go back to HDD

can see huge difference when doing back up

I mean there’s no other away regarding storage and I don’t see how it’s different from any other solutions out there.

never realized i will be switching to SSD for external mass-storage usage so soon.
but anyway cloud storage lovers will said flash storage will rosak too, meanwhile i still have microsd that i used for r4 flashcart from year 2008 that is still working turn on my old ds now, oh wait it still working. i dont know where are this replacing your disk every 2-3 years came from? its true that the disk will be less reliable over time, thats why we have multiple copy of those disk on separate disk.

I did that already, and I must say, quite relieved, actually.

that's what TS was arguing about, why need more internals storage when u can get subscription clouds

and i state the downside of it

should just buy minimum 256gb and called it a day, it's just comfortable enough
