  • Editor's comments:- in January 2010 - ioSafe launched the ioSafe Solo SSD - an ultra rugged USB / eSATA external flash SSD with upto 256GB capacity ($1,250) designed to provide data protection against disasters such as fire, flood, and building collapse.

    One way to think about it is like a small business version of the Phoenix System "Black Box" Enterprise Data Recorder from Axxana - which is another SSD based backup solution.

    These new "harder to destroy" disk backup products go several stages further than earlier generations of affordable "drop-proof" hard disk backups brought to market by Olixir Technologies in 2003 by adding both fire and flood protection.

    In February 2010 - ioSafe's CEO, Robb Moore - shared his SSD Bookmarks with readers of StorageSearch.com.
