Posted in Review, Storage by Darrin Olson on October 7th, 2009

ioSafe Solo external hard drive is waterproof and fireproofioSafe, a technology producer of disaster proof storage hardware, launched the ioSafe Solo in January and this week we took the opportunity to test one out to see how well it would hold up. The ioSafe Solo is a rugged external drive designed to keep your stuff safe in the event of a disaster such as a fire, flood or the building literally falling around it.

The ioSafe is not shockproof however and is not designed to be dropped from great distances or thrown around. It is however built to withstand intense heat (up to 1550 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes), complete submersion (up to 10 feet for 3 days!) and is encased in a rugged enclosure making it like the Sherman tank of external drives.

Waterproof and fireproof USB SentrySafe

Waterproof and fireproof USB SentrySafeIf you absolutely have to put your valuables in a safe, you’ll want something like this. SentrySafes are both waterproof and fireproof. Great for important paper files and jewelry, or important data regarding the Death Star plans or something.

This one also has the added benefit of having a USB slot so that you can access files within the safe, while keeping said files…safe. You can purchase this USB safe for about $1800. For that much dough, I want some assurance that the thief can’t just carry the safe itself off.
