Chip Chick: ioSafe Rugged Portable Firewire 800 Review December 2011
The ioSafe Rugged Portable Firewire 800 is not the same external hard drive you grew up with. For starters, not only does it look great, it also manages to be tougher than any portable hard drive you have probably ever owned
Wabi Sabi Your Life: Hard drives on the road December 2012
One of the challenges of being a photographer and an adventure traveller, is how to safely store your electronic media. Over the past 3 years I have tried numerous solutions, and while some have worked, some have been catastrophic. The most damaging incident to date was a complete failure of 3 waterproof items as I was paddling up the Atlantic Coast.
Slashgear: ioSafe Rugged Portable revealed, bulletproof protection for your data November 2011
If there's one thing you can expect from ioSafe as an external hard drive manufacturer, its hardcore physical protection for your data, and with this ioSafe Rugged Portable, you don't have to be in the comfort of your own home to get that bulletproof love.
TUAW: ioSafe Rugged Portable external hard drive takes a bullet for your data November 2011
Last October I told you about the ioSafe SoloPRO fireproof external hard drive. It's one of the best options for protecting your data from physical harm. However, since the drive weighs 18 pounds, it's not ideal for those who need portability. That's where the ioSafe Rugged Portable comes in. Weighing little more than one pound, it's considerably lighter and smaller. And although it's not fireproof like the SoloPRO, it is almost everything-else-proof.
Tej Babra: ioSafe SoloPRO Drive Review (video) November 2011
The holiday season is fast approaching. Now is the time we all start thinking or shopping for gifts. What do get for that budding editor or videographer in the family? Well the answer might just be the ioSafe SoloPRO.
Digital Trends: ioSafe Rugged Portable Review November 2011
The ioSafe Rugged Portable hard drive makes good on its claims of durability with a near-indestructible chassis that laughed off everything we could throw at it.
Macworld: ioSafe Rugged Portable SSD 120GB November 2011
If you work on an oil rig, out at sea, or at heights that rival Mount Everest-or even if you don't do any of those things-ioSafe's Rugged Portable, promises to protect your data in these types of extreme situations. Macworld Lab tested the Rugged Portable SSD, and it isn't cheap, but it comes with an extensive warranty, and it's a perfect size for travelling. It doesn't skimp on speed, either.
Maximum PC: IoSafe Rugged Portable SSD Review November 2011
There's a hidden part of each of us that revels in destruction. That part of us sees a piece of technology billed as "rugged" and vows to destroy it. Granted, most rugged hard drive enclosures are a joke-a thin layer of rubber over a standard plastic chassis; or a thin aluminum shell, if you're lucky, with a 2.5-inch drive held inside. They're meant to survive a drop from a desk to the floor, or sometimes just to look cool. IoSafe, on the other hand, is serious about the "rugged" label, and the Rugged Portable SSD is among the toughest external drives you can get. Challenge accepted.
Pixiq: Testing an indestructible harddrive November 2011
As a photographer, you often end up trekking three quarters of the way around the world to get some photographs. By its very nature, this journeying tends to make the photos unrepeatable - so how would you go about ensuring that your valuable photographs don't go missing? The two above articles show a pretty good workflow, but when my girlfriend recently dropped a backup drive on the floor, leaving it useless, I was thinking: Perhaps there's another aspect to travel that I hadn't thought about quite enough yet: Your equipment goes through an awful lot of abuse. Perhaps upgrading to some more sturdy harddrives would be a good idea? Preferably something that's completely shock- and water proof?
UWHS: Review of the ioSafe SoloPRO Waterproof and Fireproof Hard Drive October 2011
Do you need a backup drive capable of being both fireproof and waterproof? Would you like some data recovery services thrown in just in case? Then look no further than the SoloPRO from ioSafe.
TUAW: Review - ioSafe SoloPRO fireproof external hard drive October 2011
If there's one thing I always tell people who work with valuable, irreplaceable data it's "back up your files!" Thankfully most of us do back up our data. We usually use an external hard drive. Or sometimes, we only rely on cloud-based storage, like Dropbox or Apple's soon to be defunct iDisk. However, if any of you work with very valuable data -- data which would leave your business or family in dire straits if lost -- I highly recommend you buy an ioSafe SoloPRO external hard drive.
Smarthouse: ioSafe Rugged Portable Review October 2011
It's been touted as the most resilient piece of hardware since metal-coated sliced bread from its crowd-stopping appearance at CES with its waterproof, crush-resistant, shock-proof and chemical-safe build, so we decided to put it to the test. We beat it, dropped it - even ran it over with a car - but did it survive?
American Bar Association: External Drives Built Like a Tank September 2011
Would you like some disaster-proof hardware to protect your valuable data? Well, ioSafe bills itself as a company that provides exactly that.

TweakTown: ioSafe Rugged Portable External Hard Drive Review September 2011
What is there to say about a storage product that I personally shot with a shotgun and watched it come to life as soon as it was plugged into a USB port? Amazing, incredible, unreal, wicked. I really just don't know where to begin. You see, my job is to look at a product and find faults. The companies that send these products hate that I do things in reverse, but take great pleasure in having an honest opinion on their products (when the results are favorable).
EventDV: Review - ioSafe SoloPRO Secure Hard Drive September 2011
Today, external hard disk drives are a dime a dozen, so to speak. They all use drive components from a handful of companies; wrap them in a plastic or metal enclosure with USB, eSATA, or FireWire interface; add a cheap external power supply; and box it up for sale. What all these drives lack, however, is security for your data. Sure, you can use a RAID, but if catastrophe hits-fire, flood, hurricane, tornado-your data is gone. This is where ioSafe, Inc. stakes its claim.
Australian Macworld: ioSafe Rugged Portable September 2011
How often have you shot your portable hard drive with a shotgun, only to be severely disappointed to find you've lost your valuable files? Annoying, I know. Happily, hard drive manufacturer ioSafe has come up with a way to minimise bullet-driven data loss with the ioSafe Rugged Portable.
