Amazon Kills Off Unlimited Cloud Storage Option For Amazon Drive (usatoday.com)

Coldeagle writes: It looks like Amazaon is killing off it's unlimited storage plan and replacing it with a 1 TB plan for the same monthly cost. USA Today reports: "Amazon had the best deal in online storage -- unlimited backup for $59.99 -- but now unlimited is out. It has been replaced with tiered pricing, the system used by Amazon's rivals. The new rate, announced to customers Wednesday night, is now $59.99 yearly for 1 terabyte of online backup, with each additional terabyte (TB) costing an additional $59.99 annually. Additionally, Amazon is introducing a lower-priced tier set at 100 GBs of storage for $11.99 yearly."

If your house burns down, what good is that backup drive next to your computer?

Or as Francis Ford Coppola learned, putting the backup drive next to the computer isn't the smartest thing when a thief simply steals both.

Offsite storage is critical for data recovery.
