ioSafe, the leading manufacturer and designer of disaster proof hardware technologies and devices, has announced the availability of their latest ioSafe Solo, which is touted to be the 1st 1.5TB external hard drive that brags built-in disaster protection technologies, and aims at improving risks for disk backup disaster recovery solution.

Robb Moore, CEO of ioSafe, was quoted as saying, “For years ioSafe has provided the industry’s leading disaster proof hardware. The ioSafe Solo at 1.5TB provides a tremendous disaster protection solution and represents fantastic value as a plug-and-play USB external hard drive versus unprotected external hard drives. Using our patented technology and manufacturing processes, we have improved on our enterprise backup appliances and created the first affordable disaster proof external hard drive solution to resolve risks optimizing data protection for consumers and businesses. As tis reviews, Anywhere data is at risk from fire and flood, the ioSafe Solo can be a solution to improve the risk and help prevent data loss.”

George Crump, founder of Storage Switzerland, was quoted as saying, “For less than 30 cents per gigabyte, no other solution I can think of offers so much disaster protection, speed and capacity for so little money. ioSafe has developed a very compelling product for every person or business using external hard drives. Located in Texas, we use ioSafe solutions and certainly felt safer knowing our critical data was on ioSafe drives during the Hurricane Ike event. The majority of data stored today is at risk of loss from fires or floods. Anybody with unprotected precious digital data should buy one of these now — before the fire or flood — not after.”

ioSafe Solo was developed utilizing three technologies built by ioSafe comprise:

*ioSafe’s patented FloSafe cooling vent technology boasts air-flow cooling to drive away heat in normal operation. FloSafe technology is also capable of detecting vicious heat levels and closes the vents to defend data from extreme heat automatically.

*Extreme heat safety is provided by ioSafe’s proprietary DataCast endothermic insulation technology. Endothermic insulation utilizes trapped water molecules to keep up internal heat temperatures at just more than 200°F whereas outside temperatures can get to a searing 1,550°F.

*The patented HydroSafe technology is a watertight vapor barrier crafted to defend data loss from fresh or salt-water damage, comprising full immersion. At the same time, HydroSafe technology enables the cooling FloSafe air flow heat dissipation needed by all computer hardware in normal operation.

Coming in 500GB, 1TB and 1.5TB storage capacities, the latest ioSafe Solo external hard drives is prized at $149, $199 and $299, correspondingly.
