External Hard Drive Review

The ioSafe Solo is reviewed in the Ottawa Citizen by Murray Mill. Like many of the reviews online, this is another positive review.

"PROS: Security, the ability to preserve and get back data in the event of a disaster, decent price, very quiet.

CONS: My God it’s heavy! My Solo was/is a USB-only device. There are many faster alternatives, but they cost a lot more."

They are easy to use and once you get one you will be surprised how much you end up using it because you may start using it for cash and other valuables you keep in the house. The other nice feature is you can store them anywhere. If you have a small closet in the hall you may decide that is an area to place your fire proof safe because it is not an obvious spot for a burglar to look.
