I trust S3 and Mosso Cloudfiles more-so than my own single-failure HDD. They have a lot of redundancy built into their system, and although every system has risks, its risk are far less than our person undistributed implementations of file storage.
- lyime 18y agoIt pretty much comes down to this. No one can guarantee 100% redundancy, not even Amazon. Although their setup and infrastructure will probably reduce overall MTTF (mean tike to failure) in comparison to a small hosting company or your personal backup solution. Very simple math can show that their system is probably more reliable then others, yours or mine.
