Meet the new IoSafe hard drive. Bulletproof, waterproof, chemicalproof.

CES 2011 should be pretty cool in its own right, seen as it's the biggest 'let's show off our latest technology' event in the world and gives us a glimpse into what's going to be popular in the next few years.

But when we see the 100th 3D TV and Millionth 'iPad Killer' it can start to get a bit stagnant.

Step in IoSafe, the disaster-proof data storage device company.

Their latest hard drive is so rugged it’s been branded “an aircraft blackbox for mobile data”.

-The hard drive boasts a titanium alloy enclosure which is crush-resistant up to 5,000 lbs
-Allows usage at up to 30,000 feet
-Can stay immersed in water for up to 3 days
– Shields data from continuous exposure to UV, sand, dust, rain, salt, fog, ice or freezing rain for up to 24 hours.
-Gravity wise it can survive drops onto concrete up to 20 feet.
-It can also stay immersed in diesel fuel, oils, hydraulic fluids and aircraft fuels to a 12-inch depth.

Spec wise, the hard drive offers up to 250 GB to 1TB of data storage for HDD and 256 GB -512 GB for SSD.

Possibly the biggest target audience (bar the military) for this device, Journalists were requested to blast the thing with shotgun rounds to show its impressive hardiness during the electronics convention.

10 rounds of Winchester Expert Game Load Steel ammo from a Remington 12-guage shotgun could not destroy the data.

So there you go, CES is cool again and if you keep breaking your hard drive and losing your data, then give IoSafe a call.
