Password Manager Local Storage Vs Cloud

I wanted a local storage solution for our Photo Archives even though we have networked and cloud-based servers. With its mirrored RAID configuration I'm confident we won't lose any images. The Thunderbolt interface is fast and having USB 3.0 makes it flexible. A while back we had our company servers (and backup servers) crash and would have lost 15-20 years worth of images if it hadn't been for our local archives. So I kind of swear by these now.

This has a strong barrier to protect the contents within (XTS-AES Encryption). I wanted this because I've lost too many files lately when electronics went bad. I should have had them on one of these and I didn't. I regret that. I always use up my free cloud storage and I don't always want those personal items on a cloud. This is the answer. Setup is easy. When it is plugged into a Windows machine or IMac , the software is available and can be used to set up the drive with a password. That's pretty straightforward. If you forget your password or enter it incorrectly (10 attempts), you can wipe the drive and start over but you cannot recover your data. So, choose your password wisely :).

Sleek, fast, lots of storage and can password lock. Not much more to ask for

I like having my own local storage and not having to pay extra for it.

I have now subscribed to the Creative Cloud Photography Plan for 3 years now. Each time I was able to take advantage of a discounted subscription card from B&H which makes this an even better value. The CC plan includes Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop and 20GB of CC cloud storage. The CC plan also includes access to a number of mobile apps which can be used on your iPad or iPhone with the CC cloud storage keeping all of the devices synchronized. The CC cloud makes it extremely convenient to share your processed photos with others.

Fairly easy to learn cloud storage features.

I recently purchased this as an alternative to Unifi and wow...I really like the options and ability to edit this switch. The only thing I did not like is the cloud management. I prefer local because I don't like putting my stuff at risk by going through the internet. We have enough vulnerabilities in our networks, why risk it even more. Besides the options for management is better for local than the cloud. If you can get this, go get it...great switch.

Overkill for my home network, in the best possible way. Full local management, no cloud. Very responsive web UI.

The glasses were dark enough that I could not see anything behind the cloud cover. They fit nicely over my prescription glasses. My local government is recycling eclipse glasses for export to South America, I think, so the glasses will be used eventually.

This was super easy to set up, and by far the best storage option for the price. It allows you to set up a password that can only be changed or removed by emptying the drive, which I appreciate.
