 A key feature of InfluxDB 3 is its use of object storage to store time series
 data in Apache Parquet format. You can choose to store these files on your local
-file system, however, we recommend using an object store for the best overall
-performance. {{< product-name >}} natively supports Amazon S3,
+file system. Performance on your local filesystem will likely be better, but 
+object storage has the advantage of not running out of space and being accessible

 Azure Blob Storage, and Google Cloud Storage.
 You can also use many local object storage implementations that provide an
 S3-compatible API, such as [Minio](https://min.io/).
