ioSafe has a great system to protect your hard drive’s data. They demonstrated the efficacy of their product at the 2009 CES Show in Las Vegas by throwing an ioSafe hard drive into a swimming pool, heating it with a torch and then running data from it. Another great part of the ioSafe is their insurance. If, for some reason, your hard drive suffers a disaster and doesn’t function afterwards, ioSafe will spend up to $1,000 to recover your data for you.
I’m officially impressed.
