Picture 6 of 25
Moore tells us that his drive could sit under water for days, at up to ten feet deep, but he knows we don't have time for him to prove it. So, he hoists the drive back out of the water after a few minutes.
So this company makes the drives and protects them. Wow! I'd buy their products, but I'm not sure how reliable their drives are. I also think that eventually the protected drive would have been damaged as evidenced by the scorch marks surrounding the drive. Now if the drive were to withstand a thermonuclear explosion then I'm convinced. Although if that were to happen I probably won't be around to use my protected data. This product makes little sense for the average consumer. The high cost would deter the average consumer during these harsh economic times. The company has to provide another product or service to make this worthwhile. Otherwise, they are destined to fail.
overkill. this thing won't prevent theft or drive failure. i'll stick with slow internet storage, most even are free.
Well, I bet the FBI would like broad adoption of these...
Yea, but I still can't get my wife to back up her data....
