I thought they were.

If you need to commute to work daily, and you're concerned about the cost, you don't really care if you're comparing a city car vs a sports car vs the bus, despite on goes at 80km/h, and another can do 230km/h, if all you're interested in is the price.

Obviously as your storage needs increase, so will cloud costs, but unless you're a professional photographer, I'm guessing 2TB will be more than enough for most people.

Again, not talking about people trying to run their own media server on pirated content, and saving money that way. In my book that's comparable to saving money by robbing a bank. You're not saving anything, you're breaking the law, and 9 out of 10 times, it's cheaper to steal someone else's bike than it is taking a taxi home.

I'm talking actual storage for data you actually own, and possibly even data you have created yourself. Anything that came from the internet can be found on the internet again, purchased or naval acquisition.
