We spend a lot of time working on and editing documents, projects, and designs, so backing up the digital fruits of all your hard labor is crucial. With the lingering threat of security and hardware issues like malware attacks or disk failures, you want to think carefully about what solution works for you.
Backing up your data to an external portable SSD is cost-effective, and time-saving, but cloud storage has definitely changed the storage game with some pretty impressive perks – though this has come at the cost of never truly owning or controlling your storage. Is it time to get back to basics and rely on our old faithful, physical storage? Here are five reasons why we think so.1. Once bought, it’s yours forever
In a world of subscriptions that feel never-ending, the key benefit to owning a physical SSD over using cloud storage is that once you’ve bought it, that’s it. You don’t have to fork out a bit of money every month, you don’t have to worry about falling behind on a payment and losing access to the service.
You get all the storage you need when you purchase, and it’ll likely last you a very long time. For most people, the goal is to simply get the cheapest solution possible, and it may seem like cloud storage subscriptions are cheaper in the short term. However, subscription prices are subject to change whenever the company decides and there’s nothing worse than learning your monthly fee is about to be jacked up.
