SentrySafe is the first [I think] Safe manufacturer to include USB connectivity for external access. We’ll get to the USB portion soon enough, but lets take a look at the physical characteristics of the SentrySafe Fire-Safe.
In the picture above, I am talking about the larger two Safes in the back. The sizes are available in 1.2 or 2.0 cu feet sizes. Are fire resistant for up to 2 hours and can sit in water up to 8 inches. A perfect Safe for the home or office.
Now on to the USB Safe portion: Sizing allows for 120CDs or DVDs with door pockets to hold hard drives. In the door pocket sits USB connectivity to an external USB port. From here, outside of safe, you have digital access to the hard drives inside. This is a nice twist for those who need high security for their hard drives.
However, and I can see it now, you need to encrypt your hard drive. Saving your digital data physically is only half the battle. Here is some free open source USB encryption software that’ll work great with any hard drive.
As a closing note, if you have a window office spot, and the safe happens to fall out during an blaze, she’s good for a drop up to 30 feet. Cost is $420 for the 1.2 cu ft and $520 for the 2.0 cu ft version.
