When you have a hard drive connected to your PC, that’s a local hard drive. It doesn’t matter if it’s internal or external connected via wire. It’s local. Not cloud. And if you decide to share that device out to the internet and access it that way, I’m sorry but I don’t qualify that as cloud storage.
Well, Western Digital would like you to believe otherwise with their My Book Live 2TB Personal Cloud Storage.
Now I suppose if you were to get really technical about it, sharing a media storage device with other computers on your local and/or wide (as in internet) network could be considered "cloud", but just barely.
But does this mean a LAN file server counts as a "personal cloud"? I have no idea.
I think this whole "cloud" labeling thing has gone a bit too far.
Also (and maybe this is just me), the My Book appears to have a creepy resemblance to a certain monolith.
