cloud storage has its place for things like mobile use but it is still limited by the high cost low bandwidth on mobile devices.
on the same topic who's to say that having a NAS is not cloud storage for your home network in which case bandwith is cheap and fast. truly worthwhile external drives are still sky high expensive where were talkin raid 5, more then 1 bay, and network accessible without a pc host. cost of said externals is why I still use a 12 bay tower case as my workstation and serve up 6+ drives from that to my network.
