  Cloud storage is totally rely on bandwidth, availability of internet (low cost) and storage capacity...
  Which is yet far away.
  Floppy/DVD ware local drive and we still use flash drives/ex-hdd.
  If there is end of local drives why mobile devices are coming with up-to 64GB.

  We cannot call it killing, but it is phasing out . But as Anoop mentioned, accessing data on cloud needs one to have an active internet connection, even though cloud computing is making a foothold, we still have TB harddrives which are flooding the market to store the 'oh-so-very-personal' data .

  I use cloud service but i never upload personal data.
  And you know guys have too much of personal datas ;-)
  As cloud storage service is in initial phase there can be many loopholes in security ,also when bandwidth is less,cloud storage can be pain to use.
  I prefer external hdds for heavy files.
  
  I dont think cloud service will kill the old-school storages. But dusk of gaming consoles & PC operating system discs has begun.

  I think the usage of cds will stay in future also. Now also we have to submit our projects in cds. The important datas are still stored in cds or pd bcoz the net access is not possible all the time needed..
