I’ve been using a cloud hosting provider under sync.com, great for actively syncing my files between machines I might be using as well if I wished to have any employees’s later on as I was paying close to £30 a month I decided that it was best to self-host my files even if it was just by 10TB Hard Drives that only cost £200 each on Amazon (They are just USB External Ones).

I hope to be able to host my own NAS in the Future once my home office is complete (As we are currently painting and decorating the room) but well transferring all my files from my web-host I’ve been waiting over 7 days for the files to re-sync up to my PC for me to transfer each one into a new drive, it is painful and I can’t wait to be able to remove myself from the service in the near future.

Has anyone else had similar experiences with Cloud-hosting before?

    @Molecular0079 I will probably use SSDs for my working storage (As it helps to have speed) but when it comes to Cold Storage / Long Term Storage due to the price of an SSD compared to an HDD I think it would be easier HDD as well as there’s some statistic I saw before about how HDDs last longer than SSDs, this might have changed in recent years but unless SSDs get cheaper per TB than HDDs I’ll have to probably use a mix for speed and size.
