2012-04-10
they're three things certain in life death taxes and the loss of detail well we cannot do anything about the first two but there's something here that might prevent the third from happening hello my name is Don oh and this is the solo g3 from Iowa safe this is a disaster proof external hard drive now this is not a drive for everybody because of its huge size and heavy weight in fact I decided to skip the gym today because I've been carrying around all day as 15 pounds is about as heavy as I can bench on a good day now the reason for his size and weight is because of the layers of protection here the drive can survive temperature up to 1500 degrees actually 1550 hundred degrees Fahrenheit and can be submerged in the water up to ten feet for three days now I thought of setting my office on fire to test this but it'll have to be not a good idea so I didn't do that with the drive but I witness a few demonstration where the drive was really really tortured I personally actually shot at one of these drive a few times with a real shotgun and hit every single time of course and the drive survived on top here you can see a bunch of screws which you can unscrew to take off the layer of protection here to take the hard drive inside out for data recovery that is what you do after the dry has gone through some extreme condition now after that you will need to buy another drive if you want to continue to protect your data on the front here the drive has nothing but a tiny blue line that is very pright which can be annoying if you want to keep the room dark on the back and see the drive has a power switch and one USB 3.0 port now the drive work also with USB 2.0 in my testing is actually very fast being the fastest actual drive ever tested when used with USB 3.0 when used with your speed 2.0 is was not too fast but it's not too slow either notice this hole right here which allows you to lock the drive at a place to prevent it from being stolen note how this Drive has no fans making it very quiet when working which is great the question is how much does it cost the drive come in three capacity one tier by two terabyte and 310 by that cost three hundred dollars 350 and 400 dollars respectively now that's not cheap compared with other external hard drive but considering what it has to offer it's not too bad to make that a better deal I will save include with the drive 1e a data recovery service that cover up to $2,500 in case you have to pay to recover the data and the company said that it would honor the warranty no matter what happened to drive no questions asked which means you can actually buy one try to destroy it and have it taken care of by the company now but don't tell them that I tell you to do that it is secret the solo g3 is pre formatted to work with Windows but can also be reformatted to work with Macs you can find out more with the drive including is full review and other demos etsy.com once again my name is Domo and this has been the first look at the iOS a solo g3 disaster-proof external hard drive
