<![CDATA[Video: ioSafe Solo Fire/Flood Hard Disk Test Puts "Will It Blend?" To Shame]]> I was taken to a Vegas house off the strip. There's a fluorescent green pool, a purple jacuzzi. No strippers in sight—it was time to set a fireproof hard disk aflame.

I was being shown the ioSafe Solo, a fireproof and floodproof external hard drive that's the first consumer product from a company that's only done industrial and government stuff previously. They threw it in said green pool (sadly sans strippers, and sadly not a pool of champagne). Then they put it in a gas burner, cranking it up to 1600+ degrees F.


The ioSafe guys have a point that, at $150 for 500GB, $200 for 1TB and $300 for 1.5TB, the Solo drives don't cost a huge amount more than a name-brand external that doesn't weigh 25 pounds and come wrapped in many inches of an insulation that I have been told is non-toxic (although my lungs at the moment may be begging to differ).

But here's the thing: I'm more worried about my OEM Seagate drive (which the Solo uses) committing suicide than I am my house burning down or flooding. Add RAID redundancy, then maybe. And there's another word that's important here: co-location. But if for some reason you're worried about your disk surviving an act of God, here you go. As you can see, the horrific photo of me with ioSafe's CEO survived the maelstrom just fine. [ioSafe]

<![CDATA[Special Forces Fireproof Modular Glove System Now For Normal Rich Guys Too]]> Before you ask "why would I need fireproof gloves?" it's just one feature of this glove system from Outdoor Research that's in use right now by the military in Iraq, including special forces chaps. They can also handle extremely cold and hot environments, and the outer layer is made of a specially abrasion-resistant "wolverine" material. And that just sounds cool. The inner layer is of super-stretchy nomex-based stuff that's super-stretchy for an ideal fit, and the whole idea is that you mix and match internal and external components to three or four layers to meet your needs. They'd better be some specialist needs though: these babies'll cost you $1,100. [Wired]

<![CDATA[SentrySafe Fireproof Waterproof USB HDD Housings Save Your Data (Not You) From Armageddon]]> SentrySafe has made safes for 70 years, but now they've teamed with Seagate/Maxtor to make hard-drive housings that withstand up to 1550degrees Fahrenheit for a half hour, and "full" 24-hour water submersion. Some like the Fire-Safe/Waterproof 80GB and 160GB ($320) drives are freestanding units that house 2.5" bus-powered drives in impervious containers. The other alternative is a full-blown $520 safe that has a USB pass-through for your bus-powered drive. A third option is a smaller filing box, the Data Storage Safe, which lets you keep DVDs and other small documents along with a small USB drive. [SentrySafe]
