In this episode, we explore different storage location options as covered in the CompTIA IT Fundamentals (ITF+) certification exam. You’ll learn how local storage, such as internal hard drives and SSDs, offers speed and direct control but may be limited in capacity or vulnerable to hardware failure. We’ll compare this with cloud storage, which provides scalability, remote accessibility, and redundancy, but depends heavily on internet connectivity and vendor security.

We’ll also discuss portable storage devices, including USB flash drives, external hard drives, and SD cards, which are ideal for backups, transfers, and offline access. Understanding the pros and cons of each method prepares you to select the most appropriate storage location for specific needs and to answer scenario-based questions accurately on the exam.
