The folks over at ioSafe have been busy bee’s taking data protection to the next level. The previous ioSafe was fireproof and waterproof, but the new Solid State Drive version has no moving parts and some armor plating to make it extremely drop resistant and crush resistant by being able to withstand a 20 foot drop and crush forces of 5000 pounds oh and we shouldn’t leave off the 1000g shock resistance. All this while still using a standard USB or eSATA connection and being compatible with both PC and Mac’s.

Waterproofing has been increased as well to 30 feet deep for 30 days. Meaning you could “accidentally” drop this thing in the fish tank forget you left it there for, leave on vacation for two weeks, come home and your data and images will still be safe.

ioSafe is taking pre-orders and shipping on March 13th! Prices start at $499 for a 64GB drive and up to $1249 for a 256GB drive, sure it sounds expensive but if you have some family treasures, business documents, or any other data you want to be absolutely sure is protected as possible this drive could serve your purpose. We only see you getting a bigger and bigger bang for your buck as the cost of SSD drives drop and ioSafe ramps up production.

We’ve been in contact with ioSafe about getting a hands on later this month, so stay tuned. For now visit ioSafe at their website for all the details and visit the BBC’s website to see the drive’s safety be burned, drowned, dropped and crushed at CES 2010.
