July 21, 2008—SentrySafe, a leader in residential and small office security-storage containers, has introduced its next generation 250GB FIRE-SAFE/Waterproof Hard Drive protects data from fire and water disasters and computer crashes.
SentrySafe has again partnered with Maxtor Storage Solutions, as it did when it unveiled SentrySafe in January of 2008 at the International Consumer Electronic Show (CES) 2008. The product, described by the company as the first and only 160GB FIRE-SAFE/Waterproof Hard Drive, won the Best of CES Innovations 2008 award.
The SentrySafe FIRE-SAFE/Waterproof Hard Drive model QA0005 (MSRP $399.99) contains the award-winning Maxtor OneTouch 4 Mini hard drive, which includes a full suite of software protection tools, such as data encryption and Maxtor’s SafetyDrill software, a bare metal system restore, says the company. The hard drive is encased in a SentrySafe FIRE-SAFE/Waterproof enclosure, protecting data from fire and water. It is also third-party ETL-verified for fire protection for 30 minutes up to 1550 degrees F and ETL-verified waterproof—meaning it is fully submersible in water for up to 24 hours.
