Ransomware can almost cripple storage completely, because that's the target with ransomware attacks. Usually, an attacker will look to exfiltrate the data first.
They will copy off as much important data as they can, because at that point, they already have a bargaining chip to say to a company, 'If you don't pay us the ransom, we will release these records onto the dark web for sale'.
There's usually a two-pronged attack - they will try to encrypt all the data on the data storage and at that point, you're going to be in a bad way.
If that data is encrypted and the attacker has the encryption key, it can severely hinder an organization's ability to function.
