Solo External Hard Drive Released as Business-Class Model
Data security innovator ioSafe releases its external hard drive in 1 TB, 1.5 TB and 2 TB capacities, all in USB 3.0 and eSATA/USB 2.0 formats.
A business-class edition Solo external hard drive was rolled out this week. The SoloPRO from ioSafe is now available in USB 3.0 and eSATA/USB 2.0 formats. It provides full support for Windows, Linux servers, and desktop operating systems.
SoloPRO is available in 1 TB, 1.5 TB and 2 TB capacities.
The USB 3.0 Solo is compatible with USB 2.0. Users without USB 3.0 who wish to upgrade can do so by adding a USB 3.0 PCI Express card to the system.
“The new SoloPRO provides industry-leading performance and physical security as well as plug-and-play simplicity,” says ioSafe CEO Robb Moore. “Additionally, the new interfaces and upgraded Data Recovery Services make the SoloPRO a logical choice for disaster protection in home office and business environments.”
SoloPRO features include:
- Transfer Speeds Over 100 MB/s–“One TB of data can be backed up to a SoloPRO in a couple of hours versus 10 hours with USB 2.0 or several months online at normal speeds,” says the data security company.
- Rugged Design–The company says the SoloPRO will protect against data loss in temperatures up to 1550∞ F for 30 minutes per ASTM E119 or being submerged to a depth of 10 feet for up to 3 days.
- Advanced Replacement Service–Replacement products under warranty will be shipped out in advance with proper packaging and return shipping pre-paid.
- Heat-Resistant Paint Option–Bright, orange-colored coating to help make the SoloPRO easy to recover in a post-disaster environment.
The SoloPRO will be available Sept. 1 via the ioSafe Web site, ioSafe resellers, and international distributors. The 1 TB model will carry an MSP of $249.99, 1.5 TB model will be $319.99, and the 2 TB model will be $419.99.
