Can your WHS Backup Solution Survive This?
The ioSafe is a backup device which is ideal for Home Server users to backup their backups as it is fire, water, shock and crush resistant and is a good defense measure if a fire, flood, hurricane or what ever else, decides to destroy your Windows Home Server box.
The Home Server Show podcast have just posted a great video of the ioSafe where they drop it, set fire to it, hose it with water and then drop it from a massive height, and yes you guessed it, the internal solid state hard drive survived.

Effectively YES since I’ve gone for a remote/offsite backup solution….
If any of you know the BBC (UK) “Top Gear” show you should get those guys to try destroying it (if you can figure a car association).
Or alternatively the BBC journalist that destroyed the “unbreakable” phone at CES http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/click_online/8450385.stm
We also have a cool video of Icy Dock and their offerings as well. The ioSafe destruction is kinda cool though!
