The rugged desktop ioSafe Solo hard drive brings disaster protection to a price range that everyone can afford. With capacities from 500GB to 1.5TB, the ioSafe Solo can safely protect precious digital family photo albums, MP3 music libraries and days of video memories. For business, the ioSafe Solo hard drive is a great way to protect customer databases or to secure regulated information including patient records (HIPAA, Sox, etc) or credit card information (PCI regulated).

Businesses use the Solo hard drive as a backup and storage device, no longer worrying about data loss from moving computer tapes and files offsite. Like other ioSafe disk drives or storage systems, the Solo hard drive is for Mac or PC and uses patented technology including FloSafe air flow cooling, HydroSafe waterproof barriers and the DataCast fire safe insulation.

Fireproof to 1550° F for ½ hour

All ioSafe products are fireproof and can keep your data safe through the use of ioSafe's patented FloSafe vent technology, proprietary DataCast insulation or patent-pending MirrorGuard technology. Key to these technologies is the ability to protect your data automatically and with out electrical power. Some or all of these technologies are included in ioSafe products.

• FloSafe - The patented FloSafe cooling vent technology provides cooling air flow through the enclosure and across the disk drives during normal operating conditions. If destructive heat levels are sensed, such as in a fire, the FloSafe vents automatically close and protect the data from the extreme heat.



• DataCast - The proprietary DataCast endothermic insulation technology protects data from extreme heat. . The DataCast formulation forms a chemical bond with water molecules that, at temperature above 160°F, releases water vapor to limit the internal temperature of the unit. This enables the ioSafe data storage product to protect your data from heat damage while the unit is engulfed in fire.



• MirrorGuard - The patent-pending MirrorGuard technology used in our ioSafe 3.5 internal hard drive line provides a reflective heat shield to deflect over 98 percent of the radiant heat from a fire, thus preventing destruction of the data stored within the device.

Waterproof to 10 feet of fresh water or salt water for 3 full days

Water protection for the ioSafe disaster-proof products consists of 2 different levels of protection:

• Flood Protection - Full immersion in water or saltwater
• Spray/Splash Protection - Water hose spray from sprinklers or the fire department

ioSafe uses a patented water barrier technology call HydroSafe to protect your data. HydroSafe technology is designed to protect data loss from fresh or salt water damage, including full immersion. Simultaneously, HydroSafe technology still allows the heat dissipation required by all computer hardware during normal operation.

All ioSafe products are inherently flood resistant and designed to prevent water from damaging the data. The FloSafe vents can be closed or open - it doesn't matter.

Patented Air Flow Cooling ensures hard drive reliability during normal day to day use

The patented FloSafe vents allow for cool airflow inside both the ioSafe USB hard drive and NAS storage server during normal operation. But when the room temperature rises above 200° F, the heat melts the fire resistant FloSafe vents to automatically shut and seal, cutting off outside heat and protecting the hard drive disks and data held inside the fireproof safe. This auto-detection of heat and auto-closure of vents do not rely on electrical power.

Bolt-down the ioSafe Solo or cable lock for greater security and theft resistance

ioSafe hard drives and systems are built tough to provide security from theft and burglary as well as fire or flood.

The ioSafe Solo can be bolted to the floor or locked with a cable and padlock to deter theft. The illustration to the right shows the typical configuration.
