Some words on the fly…

"Losing" my 1TB drive has dropped my available home storage by 30%… and made me re-think my backup strategy. Just 10 years or so ago my total home storage was around 1GB, perhaps a tad more… and far more manageable. I can’t imagine what it will be in another ten years time – but I’ll take a stab at 1PB. Sounds unsustainably big and – as someone who stores large numbers of high-definition photographs and videos – leaves me wondering about alternatives. Quantum-scale drives and Cloud storage anyone?
