> But in practice you should absolutely trust your laptop storage
As a consumer this is perhaps practical advice.
> Trusting the storage on any single machine for critical work data for any longer than necessary is unprofessional.
But if you were a customer, would you be okay with a business losing your vital data because they wanted everything on a single machine? It doesn't matter if it's a laptop, it may be a server on the cloud.
- sokoloff 6y agoI’m a consumer and a professional. Consumer me cares more about not losing my local data a lot more than professional me does. (Professional me has a lot of other copies even if not perfect backups, I could do a good-enough restore. Consumer me can’t get back a picture of my kids when they were young if I didn’t have backups.)
