ioSafe Solo Disaster-Proof External HDD

It goes without saying that data security is important, because let's face it... it's not unusual for a hard drive to crash. But what about taking measures to prevent a drive from dying from things other than a simple crash, such as a fire, flood, or receiving a good beating? After tackling those exact scenarios, we can say that this product is a winner

I burned it, I soaked it, and then I whacked it with a hammer.

No photoshop here, folks, that was a real fire

hahaha ... I'm impressed & this test does make it stand out from the rest & for a reasonable price. I think I need of these. At least it is an attempt at safe gurading data.

I'd cringe if I put a product through such torture! It's great to see that it lives up to its name.
