hi this is adi with the verge and today we're going to go cio safes new drives with Thunderbolt input apparently they are also Thunderbolt proof did anyone get to see million-volt tesla coil this at the CES yet we we wrote on our application that we were demonstrating some computer products and there was going to be a static discharge display as well and we just left it at that this is the world's most rugged fastest hard drive on the planet it can it it's it's machine from a solid billet of aluminium it can withstand 5,000 pounds of crush force so you run over it with a truck or what not it can also survive underwater fully immersed salt water fresh water and some fuels and chemicals that we've tested with as well so with the Thunderbolt connection and twin raid 1 SSD drives this is very fast drive it can move 400 megabytes per second so what I'm going to do here is I'm going to put some data onto the rugged portable thunderbolt and then we're going to stick the Thunderbolt drive in a cage with dr. mega volt and expose it to a million volts of Lightning power that's awesome so awesome all right now he's going to grab the io safe driving and we're going to test this drive iosafe style with Thunderbolts this part always makes me a little nervous I don't know why but okay we're good so that's pretty hardcore right see if we can get this baby to pop back up so the good thing about this point is the displayport controllers work in its passing through the video signal and I'm not getting a disc this has happened before bummer okay this has happened a couple times I need a number one number one blade small blade screwdriver right now I'm going to see if I can see anything in disk utility this is I'm popping up this way either and try the second disc I'm going to try and recover with a replacement controller board that's a good sign so the Thunderbolts back I hate when the demos go this way but I do like it when we can get the data back so so that that that was by far one of the more stressful a day two recoveries that we've done we we subjected the drive to quite a bit of stress and we recovered
