Local vs.
Cloud Storage

Saving files to the cloud is easy and convenient, however, taking the extra step to back up your files to a local storage device like a USB or Portable SSD allows your files to be readily available if you do not have access to the Internet, if you're traveling, and will keep your files safe from security breaches.

Keeping your data private has never been more important in today's internet age. Check out our list of products below that you can use to transfer your data off the cloud and onto a more private and secure storage device.

  • USB's, Portable SSD's and other local storage devices are small in size, so you can take them with you anywhere for easy file access
  • Local storage devices come in a variety of densities and interfaces, which means there is a device for everyone
