Pro: Cloud = convenience
Con: Cloud = lower security*
Con: the drive will eventually fail
(Any files kept on any media should be backed up to at least one other location.)
*There is nothing that WD can do that will ever make this totally safe. The same is true for any cloud service. If it did not offer the cloud service, it would be safer. So, what is more important:
Lots of convenience or the relatively slim chance of a break in?
You are welcome.
People bring me these external drives and beg me to get their files off of them.
Sometimes I can.
Sometimes I can't :-(
Never put all of your digital eggs into one basket
I agree. I would think about device with RAID support in case of HDD failure. Maybe something of NAS Drive, Network Drive, RAID, Business Storage | Seagate
