I suspect your drive is more likely to die in its own that AWS to fail.

Your faith in the internet doesn't match mine. (Far too many single points of failure.) But suppose you're right. I can buy 10 drives for cheap, but not 10 different cloud accounts.

I also don't care to have the internet snooping on my data. Yes, I know about encryption. Enough to know it cannot be trusted.
