From the Manufacturer

The rugged desktop ioSafe Solo external 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 family photo albums, music libraries and days of video memories. For business, the ioSafe Solo is a great way to protect customer databases or to secure regulated information including patient records (HIPAA, Sox, etc) or credit card information. 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 products, the ioSafe Solo uses ioSafe patented technology including FloSafe air flow cooling, HydroSafe waterproof barriers and the DataCast fireproof insulation.

ioSafe Fire Safe Mode

Fireproof Data Storage Design
The Achilles heel for electronic devices is cooling. As electronics get faster and hard drive disks spin faster, the heat generated increases. To protect electronics from a disaster such as fire, however, you need insulation. Once insulation is placed around an electronic component, even with a very small amount of energy, the inside temperature can get incredibly hot. To solve this problem, ioSafe developed and patented several technologies.
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 without 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 Data Storage Design

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.

Server Failure & Virus Protection Server hardware failure is an unfortunate reality that needs to be accounted for. With hard drives, it’s not a question of “If” so much as “When” a hard drive will fail. Reliability continues to be improved by the major hard drive manufacturers but the reality is: a hard drive is a mechanism, all mechanisms fail eventually. ioSafe provides a simple and efficient way of backing up primary server data against server failure with the added benefit of disaster protection.
The ioSafe product line helps protect against malicious viruses by providing a redundant storage location for your primary hard drive. ioSafe highly recommends that you install any major brand of virus protection software (Norton, McAfee, etc.) as your first line of virus protection. If a virus does compromise your primary data, the ioSafe provides an onsite disk based copy for simple and fast restore. This means no digging through tapes or trickling data back from an online storage location.
If your primary server fails, simply restore the backup from an ioSafe unit per the software manufacturer’s recommendations. This technique can reduce downtime to minutes rather than days or weeks.
There are many different choices of backup software that are compatible with ioSafe products. Virtually any software that supports disk based backup will work. Contact ioSafe directly to learn more how our unique product line can help protect your data.
