I cannot either agree, or disagree.

Is it really your data, if you're storing it on disks, or SSDs, or 
whatever, if you need vendors?  Do you have the capability of recovering 
data from failed devices?  I'm thinking that no one is ever totally self 
reliant when it comes to computing.

I can envision compute services that are totally reliable.  I'm not 
ready to accept today's services as totally reliable.  But at some time, 
there may be services that one can totally rely upon.
