As we advance deeper into the digital era, we increasingly depend on hard drives as the principle storage medium to save all of our precious photos, documents and data.
Just like how insuring a car or a house will help to minimise unforeseen loses, doing everything to keep your data safe is priceless. Enter ioSafe. This week, we will be giving away one 500GB USB ioSafe Solo external hard drive which is fireproof, waterproof, shockproof and crushproof.
Believe you me, you’ll sleep better at night if your data was stored on one of these. I know I would. Find out how you can win this giveaway prize after the jump.
Instead of writing a whole lot about how rugged this hard drive is, it’s probably more convincing to show you. BBC correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones takes the “almost-indestructible” ioSafe for a spin during CES 2010.
Key Features:
- Fireproof up to 1550 degs F for 1/2 an hour
- Waterproof down to 10 feet for 3 days
- 1-year Data Recovery Service: one time only, no questions asked policy
- Patented Air Flow Cooling ensures hard drive reliability during normal day to day use
- Bolt-down the ioSafe Solo or cable lock for greater security and theft resistance
- Three Year standard manufacturer’s warranty for defects
We will be giving away one 500GB USB ioSafe Solo external hard drive with a 3-year warranty and 1-year Data Recovery Service (shipping included). Anyone is eligible for this prize.
