WSUS Upadate Storage

I was wondering why would be good the option of not storing the updates in the HD, i mean as far i see it the is hte idea of having it storing it in the server so the updates wont download the same update like 1000 times consuming lot of BW

BTW im new with servers so my logic migh be wrong, im studying this to start knowing about them.

Which is hte advantage of not storing it the Updates in the HD?

Thank you for your help in advance

The advantage is that you still get to determine exactly which updates are allowed to the machines via the approve/disappove process. Some shops might be very small (50 computers or less) with a fat pipe, or you may have a WSUS server that doesnt have much HDD space to spare.

Or you might have sites that have slow WAN links to the WSUS server(s) but faster internet connections.
