Main problem with a standalone box is redundancy in case of HD failure. Apparently a cloud storage is different so no need for backups? Is this true. Second potential issue: what about access speed? Email, HTTP, etc... Noticeable difference?

In short would a move would be justified in term of reliability and performance? Thanks for any feedback.

I sat through a two hour presentation on cloud computing. It left me in the clouds!
