Got a 15 pound water/fire proof external hard drive
Got an ioSafe Solo USB Hard Drive water/fire proof 1 TB today. It’s still copying my time machine backup partition to the new drive. Using disk utility to do it. Registered it, but didn’t upgrade it to three or five years, that was my only chance. Might buy another one in a year, if they have a bigger one for $199. I bought mine from buy.com.
Oh yeah mine has a hitachi drive inside of it, disk utility said so.

Update
” Could not restore – Cannot allocate memory”
Just got that error, trying again. hmm. I think either disk utility doesn’t work, or drive is messed up. Not working right again.
Update
ioSafe drive is fine, my other external hard drive is having problems. Might of lost all my time machine backups, not a big deal. Doing a backup with carbon copy cloner into a dmg file. ioSafe is fast, not completely silent though. Probably not as loud as other drive.
Update 2/25/10
The drive is louder then I thought, when I woke up, all I could hear was the ioSafe. My mac was sleeping. Might have to turn the ioSafe off at night, not sure why it makes so much noise when its not doing anything.
