The IoSafe Solo G3 is not for everybody due to its huge physical size. To make up for that it can withstand disaster, be it extreme heat or water submersion, to keep your data safe. Those with really important data should consider it as a backup drive. Being so heavy, it can also be used as a workout device.

    Overall score: 8.1 (4.0 stars)

CNET Editors' Rating

Starting at: $360.72

The good: The quiet and good-looking ioSafe Solo G3 offers stellar performance with USB 3.0 and is designed to safeguard your data against fire and water damage. The drive includes a year of data-recovery service that offers up to $2,500 toward the cost of data retrieving.

The bad: The ioSafe Solo G3 is a single-volume storage solution hence offers no protection against the case its only internal hard drive fails. The device is also very heavy and bulky.

The bottom line: The ioSafe Solo G3 makes an excellent backup solution for those who need to make sure their important data survives even the worst disasters.
