Cloud vs Physical storage?

[BuZZ]

Just wanted to get some opinions on the best method of storing content obtained from trackers. 

 

I currently store them in the cloud using Plex as my media server, and considering moving it to physical storage using a NAS or something possibly with mirrored raid or raid5. Upfront cost but beneficial over the long term.

I just use external drives, although cloud-based solutions do have their uses as well (albeit I see those as very specific, like having a copy of your flight tickets or something). Wouldn't store torrented content online like that.

you can actually mount a virtual drive like google drive on a Linux pc running plex

It all depends on what you want to store. For example, e-learning stuff and important documents in bussiness you should store physically, the rest of the stuff you can put on cloud.

always cloud is the best !

high security,no risk for ur file losing.

physical memory any time can crush

If you can afford then Cloud all the way!

I dont think theres anything wrong with either though physical is probably the easiest long term.

It all depends on what your main use will be. Personal media usage I would use physical local storage. If you're needing storage for torrent backup (especially for a reseed on a seedbox) then using rclone mounted to cloud storage is a good option. Or if you want to share a huge plex library with friends and family then use cloud storage unless you have the upload speed to share from your house with physical storage. 

But that's only my views on it xD

This is my opinion too. Also, cloud is better of you can afford it.
