1.0 out of 5 starsNot Good...Died after 6 months
By Brian Bonacci on October 16, 2013
Verified Purchase
ioSafe backup drive completely died after 6 months with a head crash causing destruction of all data on the drive. Their recovery efforts have been unsuccessful. ioSafe's response was that we "should have bought the more expensive model". I don't think it's reasonable to expect the device to last longer than 6-months.

1.0 out of 5 starsClients IoSafe USB Drives dying...
By Jonathan M. Schwartz on May 23, 2014
I had my clients purchased these for their computer systems and in the last year 3 out of 8 have died within 12 months. There Tech Support personal are disrespectful to my clients and always say they should have bought a more expensive version of the IoSafe Drives? Tech Support tried to blame my client for not plugging it in correctly for the reason why it died or poor power. The USB Drive is plugged into $300 AVR UPS with his Computer System. They are USB Drives! Besides the Outside casing - it's a standard USB Drive with standard USB cable - not rocket science in plugging them in and using them!

4.0 out of 5 starsMy second IoSafe in many years
By xaeinstein on November 17, 2014
Verified Purchase
Appears to be a solid all around drive.
I waited a while to review it.

I bought it to replace another IoSafe drive "local vault" I bought quite a number of years ago that has performed like a champ.
In fact the old one is still chugging away almost silently but also almost full to capacity. Which is the only reason I've bought a new one.
I've changed computers 3 times and the original drive is still my "local/on site" D/R copy.

The new version is more than twice as fast (partly because of USB3 but also the rotating speed of the drive itself) while also being twice as big (3.0TB instead of 1.5TB for the old one).
I use this drive only for my photographic images. I shoot a lot using DSLRs that generate the largest files for both personal as well as commercial assignments and portfolios.

My work flow (in case it helps) is as follows:
- I download the card(s) to the computer
- My editing s/w automatically copies the images once to the library (a locally Thunderbolt-attached separate RAID 10 16TB disk pair setup) and another copy once to this "fire proof" and "water proofed" device (please read specs for actual ratings basically so many degrees for so many hours and full immersion in so many feet of water for so many hours).

-After selecting the images I like, I edit them and they get copied to the same RAID 10 library disks. A selection of the edited images also gets uploaded to my website where they are again archived and backed up to the remote servers.

This drive contains a copy of all the originals locally.

My only reservation is that the old one (1.5TB) versus this 3.0TB newer model had a fan built-in that I found as close to silent as possible but this particular model does NOT include a fan.Read more ›

1.0 out of 5 starsDoesn't work with/unsupported for Windows Servers
By Angela M on September 15, 2014
I have liked and used these drives with client's servers for years without issue. However, this model doesn't work with SBS 2011, and when I contacted the company for support, they just say they don't support their devices on servers. It's a pricey item and likely used by many small businesses for server backups, so it's really unfortunate that the company refuses to support the product for this segment of their users.

4.0 out of 5 starsSo far so good
By Divern2deep on April 15, 2014
Verified Purchase
Received the product in some very protective packaging with no scratches or issues whatsoever. The drive is heavy and very durable. It feels built to withstand Armageddon. The enclosure is so strong you can literally stand on it. I did a lot of research online using review sites, trade magazines, and watching videos of people testing the destructibility of the ioSafe drives. I became very impressed by what I saw in the ability of this drive to take on fire and flooding while still keeping your data safe. The drive was ready to go right out of the box and backed up my entire drive over night. My only gripe with this drive is that it does not provide an ethernet connection or network capability. ioSafe also offered an extensive data recovery warranty of up to 5 years for an additional cost I found to be very reasonable. If you are serious about keeping your photos, videos, documents, and music protected from loss then ioSafe is a great solution.

5.0 out of 5 starsAwsome
By Amazon Customer on August 14, 2012
Received and went online in less then a minute. Hope I never have to test the heat or water specs. I used one at work for two years and it performed well. The USB 3.0 now runs faster then my internal drives with 3Gb i/o. Great to see that this company has great service as I was able to correspond with the president. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. BJNJ

5.0 out of 5 starsBuilt like a tank
By garlec on June 24, 2012
Verified Purchase
My wife and I do photography all over the world, and I'm terrified I'll lose my photos off my hard drive. I bring small back up hard drives when we travel and when I get home, transfer everything to this monster. It's extrememly quiet--I can hardly hear the fan. I dropped my 1.5TB regular hard drive and lost the contents, prompting me to buy this unit. It comes with "Genie timeline" that keeps my computer backed up automatically when the IoSafe is plugged in. The 3TB should be enough for all my raw photos for a long time. Even got a note from the president of the company asking how I liked the unit!

4.0 out of 5 starsstopped working after 15 months-was fixed and failed again....fixed again
By Jonathan E. Schwartz on May 31, 2014
Verified Purchase
It stopped working after 15 months....opened a support ticket with the company but never heard back from them.....too bad as it seems like a good item in concept...
The company contacted me after this negative review and were very helpful in resolving the problem including replacing the item. They even offered to cover an expensive data recovery plan but I didn't need it. The hard drive has been working perfectly since as my back up for time machine. The company was really great so I do recommend them.

Upate November 2015....i again had problems with this product. I sent it back to the company at my expense and was informed that the internal hard drive and PCBA had failed. They requested $200 to fix this. Given these two major failures in three years and the expense involved to fix it, I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM! it is obviously not sturdy enough for just routine home use.

Update November 2015...after telling them to erase any data still remaining and destroy the hard disk as i didn't want to pay $200 for repair, they remembered that they had warranted the previous repair for 5 years and thus will be fixing it and sending it back to me for free......hopefully, it will last longer but they did extend the warranty...time will tell...
