ioSafe claims its disaster-proof Solo external hard drive can survive both water submersion and intense heat. At CES, the company set out to prove that.

This is the demo unit. The external hard drive is significantly larger and heavier than most external hard drives that house a single 3.5-inch internal hard drive. The Solo, nonetheless, looks good.
