[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 6955176, member: 718"] Mechanical drives, by the very nature of being mechanical with precision components, stepper motors and platters spinning on bearings at up to 7500 rpm, do have a finite though not predictable with any degree of accuracy, life before they inevitably fail. SSD's have no moving parts and again have a finite life, but more predictable in terms of the times they are overwritten and they vary in this respect by design. Cloud is great. either as a primary store, or a secondary one, but certainly not the only store with no local backup. The cloud is dependent on the company that stores the files, which may not be the company that owns and runs the data centres. It is also dependent on internet access, which in many areas is neither reliable nor fast. The space taken by 67k photos depends on the size of individual files and that depends on whether raw, jpeg or tiff files types are used. Typical jpeg compressed files do not exceed 15mb each. About 1TB should be sufficient in that case. [/QUOTE]
