ioSafe uses multiple technologies to protect the 3.5 Series from a disaster. The process begins with ioSafe using an industry standard, highly reliable 2.5" hard drive available from manufacturers like Seagate and Samsung. ioSafe carefully follows the hard drive industry and leverages the best in performance, capacity and features coming from the 2.5" drive manufacturers.
- Beginning with a standard 2.5" hard drive, ioSafe first creates a waterproof barrier for the disk using its patented HydroSafe technology. HydroSafe is designed to protect data loss from fresh or salt water damage, including full immersion. HydroSafe technology provides a waterproof barrier around the hard drive while still allowing the heat dissipation required during normal operation.
- Secondly, a layer of proprietary insulation is added to protect the hard drive's data from extreme heat and make the disk fireproof. DataCast is ioSafe's fire resistant endothermic insulation technology. The DataCast formulation forms a chemical bond with water molecules that, at temperature above 160°F, releases water vapor to limit the internal temperature. This enables the ioSafe 3.5 Series hard drive to protect data from heat damage while the unit is engulfed in flames.
- In order to allow heat dissipation during normal operations, ioSafe incorporates its patented FloSafe cooling vent technology to the HyrdoSafe and DataCast processes. FloSafe provides cooling air flow through the hard drive enclosure during normal operating conditions. If destructive heat levels are sensed, such as in a fire, the FloSafe vents automatically close and protect the data from the extreme heat. No electricity is required for the vents to sense extreme heat or close during a disaster.
- The last step in the manufacturing process is to place the ioSafe 3.5 Series hard drive with all the prior technologies into an industry standard size 3.5. enclosure. While the enclosure allows the ioSafe 3.5 Series hard drive to be installed anywhere a standard drive fits, ioSafe's enclosure also includes a patent-pending technology called MirrorGuard. MirrorGuard provides a reflective heat shield to deflect over 98 percent of the radiant heat from a fire and adds to the protection of the data stored on the drive.
The process of taking a standard 2.5" hard drive and transforming it into a disaster proof 3.5. hard drive is part of the 3.5 Series product offering. By using a standard 2.5" hard drive, the end user has the option of quickly recovering the data onsite.
As an additional recovery strategy, ioSafe provides a Disaster Recovery Service with experts ready to assist - another important feature and unprecedented in the industry. The ioSafe 3.5 Series hard drives combined with the Disaster Recovery Service make for an unbeatable combination of backup, data protection and disaster recovery. ioSafe is committed to delivering the best disaster recovery plan available with the least amount of operational change for the lowest price!
