If your data needs -this- much protection (versus only the waterproof/fireproof-ness that their cheaper models offer), wouldn't it just make more sense to pay for a service that does off-site backups?]]>Jan 5th 2010 1:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/iosafes-solo-ssd-ditches-platters-isnt-worried-about-building/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/iosafes-solo-ssd-ditches-platters-isnt-worried-about-building/]]>Jan 5th 2010 4:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/iosafes-solo-ssd-ditches-platters-isnt-worried-about-building/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/iosafes-solo-ssd-ditches-platters-isnt-worried-about-building/Jan 5th 2010 1:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/iosafes-solo-ssd-ditches-platters-isnt-worried-about-building/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/iosafes-solo-ssd-ditches-platters-isnt-worried-about-building/Jan 5th 2010 1:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/iosafes-solo-ssd-ditches-platters-isnt-worried-about-building/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/iosafes-solo-ssd-ditches-platters-isnt-worried-about-building/Jan 5th 2010 2:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/iosafes-solo-ssd-ditches-platters-isnt-worried-about-building/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/iosafes-solo-ssd-ditches-platters-isnt-worried-about-building/Jan 5th 2010 2:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/iosafes-solo-ssd-ditches-platters-isnt-worried-about-building/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/iosafes-solo-ssd-ditches-platters-isnt-worried-about-building/https://iosafe.com/solo-ssd-256 and read this text...

Oh really? 256TB...

I have two of their 1.5TB USB drives and I LOVE em. Quiet.. and they have this killer blue to purple glow as my backups hum along happily. One at the office and one at home and at home. I'm not hearing the fan and especially not the drive (units are under the desk/bottom shelf). It was a non-config easy setup of course. Formatted NTFS so my WinXP SP3 kicked in to gear without a thought. The speed isn't the Firewire speeds I'm used to (don't start with USB2.0 vs Firewire technical specs... Firewire's pipeline rocks for me), but with my backups running overnight or "low" during the day... top speed doesn't really matter to me. If I can just make it through my first imaging session of 6 computers. Zzzzzzzzzzz.... past that, should be nice and smooth.

Lights out here looks pretty cool as well. The lights match my blue Griffin knob (he he, he said "knob") and Razer mouse... and as all of you know, that's more important than the tech or survivability of these drives... am I right!? Come-on! High Five!! Yea!!... who's with.... hello? ... hello?? anyone? :-/

Regardless... I do recommend these drives. But then again, who the hell am I?
