IOSafe Drives Burn, Drown, Survive
With red anodized cases, black piano finishes, and even leather wrappings, external hard drives come in many colors but are basically pretty comparable devices. At this year’s Consumer Electronics Show, one new company hoped that its drives stood out. Startup IOSafe has devised new technology for securing data against such disasters as floods and fires, all for just a few dollars more.
At $149 for 500 Gbytes of storage, the IOSafe Solo costs just a few dollars more than the average hard drive, yet it promises to protect your precious data. A terabyte version of the drive will ship later.
