File Storage vs Object Storage vs Block Storage

Explores three primary storage solutions for large unstructured data: file storage (hierarchical, familiar structure using NFS/SMB protocols), object storage (flat namespace with REST APIs, infinite scalability), and block storage (raw disk-like performance for databases and VMs). Each has distinct advantages - file storage for team collaboration, object storage for web-scale applications, and block storage for high-performance workloads. The choice depends on factors like scalability needs, access patterns, performance requirements, and whether traditional file system semantics are needed.
