External hard drives ioSafe

500GB Rugged Portable, 5400RPM, USB 3.0 + 5YR DRS The ultimate portable hard drive backed by the ultimate warranty

Data has become increasingly mobile, but with that increased mobility comes increased risk. Delicate portable storage devices can easily be dropped during travel, stolen or exposed to adverse environmental conditions such as extreme temperatures, sand or moisture — all factors which can lead to data loss. The ioSafe Rugged Portable addresses each of these problems. It's tough enough to be used in arctic or desert environments, is shock and crush resistant, has anti-theft features and is backed by ioSafe's unique Data Recovery Service and No-Hassle Warranty. This means that if your ioSafe Rugged Portable stops working for any reason at all during the warranty period, we'll repair or replace the drive and recover the data from your old drive. ioSafe does more to protect your data than any other company.

Data Recovery Service (DRS)

Accidental deletion, formats, corruption or disasters can happen to anyone at anytime. The ioSafe DRS is a one-time, any reason, data recovery service for ioSafe to help you get your data back whenever you decide to exercise this option. It includes shipping, replacement hardware, ioSafe services and up to $5000 for third party forensic recovery if required.
