Apple iPhone 7...the Walled off computer

16GB's a joke, I can see special use case such as point of sale and similar but selling to the general public, not great. I only get away with 128GB because I have 200GB on iCloud.

It's £2.50 a month, peanuts.
All my documents are stored there, it's a great way to work across all my devices, now with collaboration that I hope has finally been cracked. At least 16 years worth of photos, movies, bla bla bla.

It's a smartphone, so I dump everything on there
Sure it all backs up to iCloud (now full..need to pay some subs ) and PC, but I have a music collection in a high bitrate (HiFi snob), lots of pics (of engine bays in pre/post assembly for personal reference), offline translation apps (my Spainish is hopeless), as well of recorded footage from my CCTV when the pikeys have been loitering around my house whilst I'm at work. Obviously capacity gets guzzled up rather quickly.
Would be nice if I could shove in micro sd card though. But that wouldn't fit into Apple's business model...sandisk would benefit more than Apple if they provided an SD slot.

All my storage is on my NAS, easily accessible with an App, anywhere and anytime.
These SD Cards, once they mature into devices will be very welcome indeed. - Not backward compatible with current micro sd format however.
The new UFS memory cards from Samsung rely on the UFS 1.0 Card Standard (single 5.8 Gbps lanes) published earlier this year. Samsung intends to offer UFS cards with 32, 64, 128 and 256 GB capacities. The top-of-the-range 256 GB UFS card will offer sequential read performance up to 530 MB/s and sequential write performance up to 170 MB/s. As for random performance, then Samsung declares 40,000 read IOPS and 35,000 write IOPS for the 256GB version.

10 terabytes, do you have a pet parrot, wooden leg and only spend pieces of eight? Either way that's a lot of data, keeping it on one device is foolish, you should consider using other people's computers to kept a copy for you, some call it the cloud.
Cards are all well and good, but they're a pain in the ****, every year I need them less and don't miss them at all. Amazing what they can do, pretty sure I saw 1 terabyte!

I use a Synology for my storage too. And guess what, it has something called RAID, yes thats right Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks. An old technology.
You want to store your digital life in the cloud, well there is nothing stopping you. I just happen to enjoy the fact that I have control over my data. Its safe, secure and well backed up on my encrypted NAS in my own home.

Do you also have 10TB of data in your house? Have a tendency to say "Arrr" and a patch on your eye?

Good for you, I have an Apple Time Capsule in my house that backs up my machines, it's a 1 terabyte single drive that also happens to be my wireless router, it all just works, I have no need for RAID in the home.

You may well think that, but when it comes to back up's the Time Capsule is hard to beat. Here's why.
You might think your device "Just works" and yes it probably does show up as a drive when you attach it, but a £2 USB drive does that, when I say "Just works" I mean I plug it in and have an exceptional back up solution up and running... just like that. As an example, if I delete a contact - but could be anything, documents, pictures - I open contacts, hit the Time Machine icon - built into OSX - and it shows all versions of my contacts going back years, I select the contact I deleted and restore it. That's what I'm talking about when I say "just works"
Now, if I was looking for something that after extensive configuration and ongoing maintenance would download illicit files from Torrent sites for me yes you definitely win there [claps]

Why would anybody wish to store TB's of pirated content on their own storage when it can be streamed legally via a server in the Netherlands?!
Just goes to show how limited your technical knowledge actually is my poor deluded friend.
Stick to your wonderful Time Capsule with its single non-redundant drive, but its OK, your data is in the cloud for anyone to look at if they so wish.
Try more like over 100TB of storage, but its not used to store pirated content, **** or anything else you want to dream up. Stop dreaming!
Used for perfectly legitimate business reasons, backup being one, and the rest is none of your business!

Time Machine can backup to any drive, be it local or remote, not just a Time Capsule!
I honestly don't think I have ever come across somebody so closed minded towards different tech manufacturers as you are. Blinded by the sheen of the Apple logo!

Lets take this a step further, a Time Capsule is configured by the AirPort utility correct? It has no web gui, correct?
Heres a video of the Synology web gui known as DSM.
Maybe spend a few minutes watching that video, and then come back here and tell us how the Time Capsule, in your eyes, is better than a Synology NAS running DSM.
Guess what, Synology 'just works' too. But it works an so many different ways that a Time Capsule could only ever dream of doing. Shame really, as the Time Capsule certainly does look good. Seems Apple are more concerned with image than it is functionality.
Time Capsule = Limited (Typical Apple Style)

Let me know what you're storing then? No details, just give me a clue as to what you could be storing 100TB of at home, which is a ridiculous place to be storing anything to do with business.
As for not knowing what I'm on about I've had a QNAP in the field for about 2 years now, it's a pain in the **** but does the task.

Just works... 17 minute video explaining how to get it to work. Does file syncing, that's not in the same league as Time Machine. And yes, you're right, you can use any disk, just plug it and click a button... done. Just works.

DSM supports Time Machine, there is even an especial section in the gui to deal with it, so try again!
Why would I want to plug anything in when I can Time Machine over the network? Who needs desk space taken up by various drives when they can be stored in the server room?
The data we store is primarily made up of website backups, SQL backups, customer data, transaction data, images of products, videos of products, software products, linux distros, Windows ISO's, OSX ISO's and various other files.
At what point did I say that the data centre is at my home? Of course its not, but guess what, I use a 256-bit AES encrypted VPN to connect between the data centre and my home. Safe, and secure.
Yes, you are right, QNAP is a load of junk, replace it with a Synology running DSM and thank me later!
We have disaster recovery policies in place, don't worry!

"Again, the data is not stored at home, why are you both saying that?"
When I asked if you had 10TB at home you replied
"Try more like over 100TB of storage, but its not used to store pirated content, **** or anything else you want to dream up. Stop dreaming!"
So I'd say it was an easy mistake on our part.
Stop being so angry, it's not healthy. I told you I had no need for RAID at home and that's true, I also with a pretty obvious stab at humour asked if you were a pirate too. That's nothing to get all ranty about, chill out and enjoy your drones.

Again, the data is not stored at home, why are you both saying that?! I have a Synology at home which is mostly full of videos taken with my drones. Our 100TB data centre is not looked after by a Synology system!!! Synology is not enterprise class in my eyes!
We have disaster recovery policies in place, don't worry!
Let me be more specific. What happens to your videos stored at home when your Synology gets soaked, melted or stolen?

I'd be more worried about;
- The flood damage to my house.
- The fire damage to my house.
- Finding the **** who stole my Synology!
