ioSafe Solo External SSD Drive Revealed

Tweet

A lot of people use external hard drives for backing up important data, but what do you do with very important data, like priceless scanned photos from your grandparents, or the account numbers for your Swiss bank account? ioSafe has got you covered, with their new Solo SSD drive, a “military grade” external SSD.

The drive is waterproof (can survive 30 days in 30-feet of salt water), fireproof (up to 1,550 degrees Fahrenheit), crushproof (can support 5,000 pounds on any side) and shockproof (can survive a 20 foot drop). All of that makes it one of the most rugged electronic gadgets I’ve ever seen – if not the most rugged.

The real secret is that it is a solid-state external drive, not a hard drive disk-based system – so there’s no platters or moving parts. And if you manage to destroy the drive after all of that, the manufacturer offers a ‘no-questions’ data recovery service. The Solo can connect to your system via USB or eSATA. Sizes go up to 256GB and prices start at $500.
