Technology
Like other ioSafe products, the Solo uses ioSafe patented technology including:
DataCast™ endothermic fire insulation technology protects your data from extreme heat. The DataCast formulation forms a chemical bond with water molecules that, at temperatures above 160°F, releases water vapor to limit the internal temperature of the unit during a fire.
HydroSafe™ water barrier technology is designed to protect data loss from fresh or salt water damage, including full immersion. While keeping your data dry, the HydroSafe technology still allows the needed heat dissipation required by all computer hardware during normal operation.
FloSafe™ active airflow cooling technology provides cooling airflow 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 limit and protect your data from the extreme heat.

When you compare any hard drive brand you will find the ioSafe Solo offers more value and the best data protection for the money. ioSafe USB storage device is ideal for personal, SOHO (small office home office) or remote and branch office data backup. As a complete backup solution the ioSafe can be used to assist or replace off site tape vaulting and online backup and is considered by many to be a simple "regulatory compliance in a box" solution for meeting stringent HIPAA, SOX and other compliance objectives for data security and storage security. Primarily used to assist your primary hard drive or storage server, the ioSafe provides redundant protection and storage in case of primary hard drive failure.
Traditional backup plans and strategies using tape drive backup (LTO, DLT), offsite storage, fireproof media safes, online backup and backup CDs/DVDs are decidedly insufficient when compared to the data disaster recovery storage strategy enabled by the ioSafe Solo solution.
