Default ioSafe Solo External Hard Drive w/ Disaster Protection

Tornados, earthquakes and hurricanes all pale in numbers to house fires. The US Fire Administration estimated there were 1.5 million fires in 2008. We have been recommending NAS servers for years and preached about the importance of using RAID 1, RAID 5 or RAID 6 for data security, but never once had we really thought about what would happen with these products once you start adding water or fire to the mix.

Luckily ioSafe was thinking about these situations and started doing something about it. Today we will be taking a look at the ioSafe Solo, a low cost, single drive, USB 2 external drive bay that can take the temperatures of a house fire as well as the water used by the fire department used to extinguish the fire. Let’s have a closer look at the specifications and features.

Disaster Protection
What good is protection against water and fire, in a single disk product, if your HDD fails, your data goes bye-bye...
if they care about their clients and want their products to carry a good name, they should not include a single disk product in their line-up.
