LanOC Reviews: ioSafe Rugged Portable
May 2012
So you do the smart thing, you backup your data from your laptop and your home PC to an external or network drive and go on with life feeling confident that you have gone well and above what most people do. For the most part, you did. What about when you're traveling, have you seen how much abuse a device can take when on the go?

The Next Web: I drove over this ioSafe hard drive with my car and it just laughed at me
April 2012
I'm not a huge fan of external hard drives. I'm always aware of it sitting in my bag, holding all of my precious video as I drop it, squeeze it under tables and generally mistreat it during conventions and conferences. One wrong move and there goes a week's work in a crunched plastic casing. That's why I was so interested in checking out the ioSafe rugged portable.

AnandTech: ioSafe SoloPRO - Disaster Proofing Your Storage Needs
April 2012
Consumers understand the importance of keeping their documents and other material possessions safe from unexpected disasters. Towards this, many invest in fireproof and waterproof safes. However, as the digital economy grows, many of the possessions such as documents and photo albums are in terms of bits and bytes, rather than tangible things which can be placed in safes. This brings to fore the necessity to find a disaster-proof safe place for those bits and bytes in both personal and business settings.

New Zealand Herald: Review - ioSafe Rugged Portable hard drive
April 2012
As anyone who has taken the slightly immature, reasonably toxic and extremely entertaining step of smashing up a cathode ray tube telly will inform you - destroying gadgets is very, very cathartic. For the most part, we don't want to subject our electronic toys to any sort of abuse that may harm them - but there are a few glaring exceptions.

TopTenREVIEWS : Built for Durability - Mac Portable Hard Drives
March 2012
Mac portable hard drives are available in different sizes, specifications, colors and styles. As important as these features may be to us, most of us have experienced that sickening lurch of the stomach we get when we accidentally drop a drive or knock one over. Luckily, some manufacturers produce hardier hard drives, ranging from drives that are resistant to a relatively small drop of 36 inches to drives that will survive the end of the world.

TheTechStop: The Digital Jesuit Reviews (the ioSafe Rugged Portable)
March 2012
ioSafe is a storage company with a reputation as a manufacturer of comically sturdy hard drive products. With a yearly demonstration a the Consumer Electronics Show, ioSafe has earned their reputation by setting their enclosures on fire, dropping them from great heights, crushing them under tractors, throwing them into swimming pools, electrocuting and using them for target practice: all without losing a singly byte of data.

PC World Australia: ioSafe Rugged Portable external hard drive
March 2012
ioSafe offers the Rugged Portable in either a SSD or spinning-disk version, but whichever drive you pick is immaterial. What's more important is the thick aluminium shell that surrounds the drive - hewn from a single block of metal, it's able to withstand some of the most punishing testing we've seen a piece of technology put through.

Canadian Reviewer: ioSafe SoloPRO Disaster Proof backup hard drive
March 2012
We have a variety of backup solutions today ranging from inexpensive cloud storage as well as high capacity external hard drives. Critical personal and business data needs to be backed up and safely stored and while most external hard drive solutions in the market can manage to store data efficiently, very few can withstand exposure to high temperatures or being immersed in water.

Shutterbug: ioSafe Rugged Portable USB 3.0 - Road Warrior Backup Drive

Backing up images while on the road makes sense; having a backup drive that can take the rigors of the road seems to make even more sense.

Geekzone: ioSafe Rugged Portable review
March 2012
It is incredible the number of people I know who have no backup of any of their data, at all. I have a multi front strategy for backup: local backup provides very fast access to any file, while an online backups provides the security we need, just in case something bad happens to the local backup (drops, burglary, hardware failures).

The military standards for ruggedness are just that - standard. Everyone uses them as a basis for comparison, whether they are seeking certification for their product or not. Usually, when a product gets certified, that is the limit of the company's guarantee. But not the people at ioSafe. They aren't happy until they make something they can run over with a tank.

Chip Chick: ioSafe Rugged Portable Firewire 800 Review
December 2011
The ioSafe Rugged Portable Firewire 800 is not the same external hard drive you grew up with. For starters, not only does it look great, it also manages to be tougher than any portable hard drive you have probably ever owned

Wabi Sabi Your Life: Hard drives on the road
December 2012
One of the challenges of being a photographer and an adventure traveller, is how to safely store your electronic media. Over the past 3 years I have tried numerous solutions, and while some have worked, some have been catastrophic. The most damaging incident to date was a complete failure of 3 waterproof items as I was paddling up the Atlantic Coast.
