File (NAS) vs. Block (SAN) vs. Object Cloud Storage HD

Unfortunately for startups and lone developers, most of the descriptions around data storage are highly generalized and highly technical without much in between. It is no surprise considering the cloud storage and computing platforms are the ones explaining the topics. Just type “file vs. block vs. object storage” into Google and you’ll find several platforms explaining/advertising their products. In this video, I hope to explain data storage in a way that those from all backgrounds (not just IT) can understand.
