There is a nasty downside to SSDs using NAND. When one of them crashes, there is no recovery. Gone toast (and don't tell me the drive is just pinning for the Fjords).
I know that many thing that off site storage is the way to go but what happens if one of them goes belly up and you lose all your data (like what happened with photo storage companies a few years ago) or someone hacks the server? Impossible? Wasn't it recently reported that SSL was hacked? The greatest level of security is isolation from outside access.
