January 9, 2008—SentrySafe, a leader in residential and small office security-storage containers, has launched what it says is the world’s first and only fire safe and waterproof hard drive, which protects data from fire and water disasters, as well as computer crashes and theft.
SentrySafe partnered with Maxtor Storage Solutions to develop the award-winning hard drive. The SentrySafe FIRE-SAFE/Waterproof Hard Drive (80GB, MSRP $259.99 and 160GB, MSRP $339.99) contains the Maxtor OneTouch 4 Mini hard drive—a mobile storage solution that includes a full suite of software protection tools, such as data encryption and Maxtors SafetyDrill software, a bare metal system restore.
The hard drive is encased in a SentrySafe FIRE-SAFE/Waterproof enclosure, protecting data from fire and water. It is also ETL-verified for fire protection for 30 minutes up to 1550° F and ETL- verified waterproof—meaning it is fully submersible in water for up to 24 hours, says the company.
In addition to the 80GB and 160GB SentrySafe FIRE-SAFE/Waterproof Hard Drives, the company officially launched several other data and document security products. There are:
- A multipurpose SentrySafe FIRE-SAFE/Waterproof Data Storage Chest that provides connected peril protection for data storage devices, CDs and DVDs;
- A multipurpose USB-connected SentrySafe FIRE-SAFE/Water-Resistant Safe (1.2 cu. ft. and 2.0 cu. ft. sizes); and SentrySafe FIRE-SAFE/Waterproof CD/DVD File.
