Review: ioSafe Solo 500gb disaster proof external hard drive.

No we get to keep what we review. I may revisit some more strenuous testing in the future when the fire hazards are gone, but now that the drive has been heated once there is no guarantee that it will survive.

I'll admit, I'm a bit bummed by this review as it is. I am very much looking forward to some more strenuous testing.

Is there any way you can replace the inner bag?

lets torch this sucker. can't you just take a propane blowtorch to it in your bathtub? or a heat gun? some heat guns throw out ~1-1500 degrees f. just a thought.

great write up though... although I too would like to see this sucker tested a little more thoroughly. mainly for my morbid curiousity though

...I feel like at those temps, and actually far below them, you would be melting your bathtub. Unless you have a ceramic bathtub, in which case you would just be wreaking havoc on the finish.
