Data storage server

Sometimes we will discuss about using online or cloud storage services. However, a reminder is that the cloud simply means others “computer”. There is no magic for the storage space. To me more specific, the data won’t disappear, but will be transferred into other devices, and of course it will reflect the cost. Usually, because cloud storages provide the convenience, safety and the expandability, the price can be as high as buying a new disk every two months. For example, a 1TB disk cost about $35 (for 2025), and the cloud may charge you about 20 to 30 per months. Therefore, we’d better choose wisely before paying for the storage.
