Protecting Your Data: Disaster Proof Hard Drives

Hard drive loss (at home) is something nobody wants to think about. Imagine losing all of your music, financial data, documents, and perhaps most importantly — family photos. It could be caused by a virus, mechanical failure, fire, or even theft.

To mitigate the risk, you can backup your data to an external drive or use an online backup service like carbonite or mozy, but neither solution is adequate. Your external drive would be barbecued in a fire or gone in a burglary and the online backup services become too slow/expensive when you try to store 300+ GB’s of photos, videos, music, and movies.

Enter the ioSafe solo, a 1.5TB external backup drive encased in a fire resistant, water resistant, shell which can be tethered (locked) to a desk. This is a brilliant product. Highly recommended.
