While most external storage customers don't mind the fact their data is more vulnerable than if it was inside because of the added convenience / portability it offers; there is a group of people who want MORE protection than simply sticking the drive inside a case. For this group, ioSafe has many makes and models. One such model is the SoloPRO USB 3.0 model, which boasts not only tank like amour chassis, but water- AND fire-proof abilities! Lets see how good this tank really is!

The Verdict:
With a footprint that is down right massive, the ioSafe SoloPRO USB 3.0 fireproof, waterproof hard drive is certainly not for everyone. For anyone who needs their data to be safe and sound even if their house suffers an act of god disaster this bad boy should be on your short list. Highly Recommended!

The Good:
+ Pretty Good Performance
+ Darn near indestructible
+ USB 3.0 interface
+ Actively cooled
+ Attractive in a tank kind of way
+ Comes with 1 year Data Recovery Service
+ Reasonable price for 3 & 5 year DRS extensions
+ DRS 5-year extension also extends warranty to 5 years!

The Bad:
- MASSIVE footprint
- Heavy
- Sealed unit so hard drive replacement will be difficult
