If the volume grows, you add a new node instead of hitting the limit of a single machine. ### 2) High availability If one server goes down, data stays available on other copies. The system keeps running without stopping. ### 3) Stable performance Queries are spread across different nodes, so the system can handle more simultaneous reads and writes. ### 4) Geographic distribution Data can be stored closer to users (e.g. in different regions), which lowers latency and speeds up response times. ### Summary Distributed storage provides scalability, fault tolerance, stable performance, and flexibility as the system grows, making it the foundation of modern high-load applications.For the reviewerNote to the moderator (optional)Visible only to the moderator.
