Everyone is familiar with cloud drive. As a convenient cloud backup method, it is the first choice for many users.

However, there is no free lunch in the world, do you want a better experience? Pay your money first! In recent years, XX cloud drive and XX cloud disk, which occupy a large market share, are all like this when they provide user services.

SDCloud did the opposite, “No matter whether the user pays or not, there will be no speed limit.” This is the slogan of SDCloud.

Today’s article focuses on analyzing the difference between SDCloud and traditional cloud drive:

In the charging area that users are most concerned about, SDCloud does not choose to charge, free trial space, unlimited upload/download speed.

The traditional cloud drive on the market mainly rely on value-added membership fees. There are two main types of online disk members: ordinary members and super members. Only open super members can enjoy accelerated download privileges, usually a minimum cost of 18 yuan can be used.

Features:

Traditional cloud drive:

【Insufficient storage capacity】

Limit capacity size: pay to increase fixed capacity;

【Storage speed limit】

Non-VIP users will be limited: upload and download speed;

【Data cannot be kept private】

Data cannot be kept private: data is stored centrally, and the administrator can view it at will;

【Security hazard】

The security of cloud storage cannot be completely guaranteed, and there is even the possibility of hacking and data deletion.

SDCloud:

【Self-created distributed storage system】

Based on blockchain technology and distributed storage collection, natural anti-hacker attack.The top distributed storage technology will dynamically set the size of file slices according to different business needs of users, and evenly distribute them to a large number of nodes.

【Global distribution of edge storage nodes】

The nodes of SDCloud edge storage are evenly distributed across the country, which can provide redundant data storage across multiple architectures and multiple devices, provide remote disaster recovery and resource isolation functions for user data, and achieve data durability of up to 99% to ensure durability. performance is higher than other storage architectures.

【Encrypted Storage】

User data adopts private and secure asymmetric encryption algorithm, and files are encrypted and stored in shards to ensure the privacy and security of user data.

【Multiple copy save】

At present, SDCloud has deployed more than 4,000 storage nodes in Yangzhou, Zhengzhou, Ulanqab, Ningbo and other places, and the total storage space has reached 500PB.

With more storage node providers joining SDCloud, the storage space of SDCloud will be huge.

【Video playback】:

Support video and audio online playback (no format restrictions)

【Resource Sharing】

Provide users with a function of peaceful and true information sharing and easy access to the latest global information, making every sharing more meaningful

Summarize:

Compared with traditional cloud drive, SDCloud’s cloud storage function is more like a “private VIP customization” service.

The data stored in SDCloud adopts a triple backup strategy. For example, the file data stored in Zhengzhou is not only backed up at the nearest node, but also data is backed up at other nodes such as Ningbo and Yangzhou to achieve zero data loss.

SDCloud is not only a cloud storage software, but also brings users an ecosystem of diversified experiences. While ensuring storage security, it also leads users to explore and experience the charm of Web3.0.
