ioSafe Bomb Proof External Hard Drive
Well maybe its not quite bomb proof, but its probably the closest thing to it that a consumer will get their hands on. The ioSafe solo is an external hard drive that connects to computers using a standard USB connection. Attaching the Solo is simple and most computers will immediately be able to use the new capacity. The Solo is available in a 500GB, 1TB and 1.5TB models with retail pricing starts at $149.
The home user may choose to save their precious family photos or favorite music library on the Solo. Business users will find the value of keeping critical customer databases or regulated information safe on the Solo. But for both users, while the Solo works like any other external hard drive, the Solo's disaster protection is its real benefit.
The Solo is able to withstand fires and is rated up to 1,550 F per the ASTM E119 industry standard. The Solo can also be submersed in fresh or salt water for 3 days at a depth down to 10 feet. To protect information, the Solo was built using three technologies developed by ioSafe including FloSafe, HydroSafe and DataCast.
ioSafe's patented FloSafe cooling vent technology provides air-flow cooling to dissipate heat during normal operation. FloSafe technology also has the ability to detect destructive heat levels and automatically close the vents to protect data from extreme heat. This unique technology allows for product designs that incorporate heat producing electronics to be well insulated from destructive heat while eliminating the natural heat produced in normal use.
The patented HydroSafe technology is designed to protect data loss from fresh or salt-water damage, including full immersion. What makes the HydroSafe technology unique is the ability to provide a water barrier while allowing the heat of normal operating to dissipate through the same barrier. Used in conjunction with the FloSafe technology, electronic devices can be cooled and protected.
Extreme heat protection is provided by ioSafe's proprietary DataCast endothermic insulation technology. Endothermic insulation uses trapped water molecules to maintain internal heat temperatures at just above 200F while outside temperatures can reach a searing 1,550F.
