Hard drives which are really very hard!

The new indestructible hard drive launched in CES last week. The demonstration was a live fire one, in which shotgun rounds were fired. IOSafe, the company who has manufactured it says, it has protection from physical threats, as it is made up of aluminum and titanium-alloy.
Portable and most rugged hard drives
These drives will be available in hard disk (HDD) and solid state (SSD) versions, the protection will be from variety of threats such as physical as we stated above and threats such as the immersion of hard drive in liquids. The shockproof aluminum cases will be available for both the versions HDD and SSD. The capacities will be ranging from 250GB to 1TB, whereas SSD will be having titanium-alloy, which will come for 256 or 512GB data capacity. These versions will be enabled with the newer USB 3.0 and also remain compatible with USB 2.0.

These portable drives are really very rugged and can remain operational in extreme conditions. There were multiple types of rugged tests, which were performed on this hard drive. The tests include shocks from bumpy roads, drop from high altitudes, these drives were also immersed in liquids such as water, diesel, aircraft fuel and hydraulic fuel. Though it is not a bulletproof, but it was also tested against a 12-guage shotgun, apart from these tests, some more tests were also conducted on extreme high altitude, temperature and other environmental factors. These hard drives are made crush-resistant, and can withstand the pressure of thousands of pounds; there is also a slot which is compatible with Kensington Lock.

You can buy these hard drives from IOSafe.com, but these high performance and highly durable drives come with good price tag. The 250GB aluminum cased HDD is priced at $149.99, and the 256 GB SSD version has a cost$1,299.99, and if you are ready to pay more for the 512GB titanium-alloy covers then $3,499.99 is the price. There is a good after sales service such as, free data recovery for the warranty period of 12 moths and also if required the data recovery services can also be taken from third party.
If you need the after sales service for the same product for 3-5 years there are plans, of-course on extra payment!
