Video: Fire, flood won't stop this hard drive

My favorite video from CES last week was this one we did with the folks at ioSafe, which is selling a $150 external hard drive that is completely waterproof and fireproof. To showcase how practically indestructible this enclosure / system is, we submerged the unit into a pool, and then set it on fire. The video says it all.

Friggin' sweet!!!!

So, is it on the market now? Sold by a single video. Great work. Definitely the "coolest" thing out of CES so far.

I so could have used this..

This would have been great for when my house went up in smoke, then the fire dept soaked the burning embers with water...
