Last two times I've ordered from Target and the item was actually out of stock, they offered to ship it for free. YMMV.

build private cloud, do not use public cloud
A lot of apps and services wont sync to a private cloud. So some things you need to use that for, but private cloud is the way to go if you have the means/time/knowhow

Hard drives are not as stable as some high quality disks like M Disks. Im 35. Im wanting something that I feel more confident will last 30 to 40 years to store my family photos. Yeah, you could backup on multiple drives, but there's some maintenance cost, and inspection needed for 10s of thousands of photos and videos
361.

That's the number of DVDs I would need in order to back up my backed up data.

It's important to note that CDs don't last forever. They literally deteriorate over time. As pretty much all storage media does. I have CDs from the 00's that have literally flaked apart over time. Tape seems to be the longest lasting media for storage and is what is used for professional archiving.
