Protect data for a reasonable price,
Pros:
* Reasonably priced considering what you are getting (fireproof, waterproof, theft protection)
* Includes a way to bolt the drive down for theft protection
* Gives peace of mind – protecting my code (I’m a programmer) and other valuable data
* I emailed the company with a question about encryption and got a fast response that answered the question
Cons:
* Only USB 2.0 interface – could be faster with USB 3.0 or eSATA (future update?)
Other:
* Unit weighs about 15 pounds
* Requires external power supply
* Must register within 7 days with ioSafe
* My 2TB unit uses a Hitachi HDS722020ALA330 hard drive
* Can buy DRS (data recover service) extensions/upgrades to 5 years
* Check the videos (YouTube) on the Internet to see what this thing can take
* I use mine with my Windows Home Server and backup the shares and backups to it
* Encrypting data on the drive may make data recovery more difficult in case of disaster
* I bought a unit with 5 years of DRS and it shipped out as two seperate packages – the HD with 1 year DRS and a DRS upgrade to 5 years

Fast, Safe and Economical External Hard Drive,
I am a real estate lawyer, a sole practioner, and it is vital for me to be able to access my documents and client files quickly and reliably and to be able to recover those files in case of a disaster. I spent a good bit of time researching fire and water resistant drives and the ioSafe Solo was the best I could find for my situation. The level of protection was first rate and better than several other drives I looked at which cost substantially more than the ioSafe product.
I am not a techie but I have been working with computers since my first Radio Shack Model III in 1981 so I am fairly familiar with the technology. After receiving the drive from Amazon and reading the directions I was confident that I could have installed the drive myself but I have a consultant who manages my server and LAN for me and I elected to have him install it to avoid finger pointing if I somehow interfered with his system. He was also impressed with the quality and cost of the drive and has recommended it to other customers since installing mine.
I use the ioSafe drive as my primary drive for my network and have been especially happy with the response time for the drive. I cannot tell any difference between accessing documents on the ioSafe drive and on my “local” drives. I had the drive installed on a Saturday and my secretary did not realize that her files had been moved until I pointed out the new drive to her.
I hope to never need ioSafe’s recovery services but hurricanes are always a threat in coastal Georgia and it’s great to know that I am able to have the protection of the ioSafe system with no degradation in the speed of my day to day activities. I highly recommend the ioSafe Solo to any small business looking for a secure, fast and economical solution for data storage and access.
