How about testing the ioSafe Solo in a Carnival Porta John for a few days?

Were you just copying Modulok's answer?

As another reminder to all... The device is intended to survive a flood or a fire. The original and current scope of this contest is to come up with a novel new way to test either of those.

Bring it to a crematorium and put it in the furnace. If that furnace can reduce a person to ashes let's see what it will do to this hard drive.

Give it to some 3 years old with a water and sand table.

(like the one in http://www.kiddietoys.com/wee-blossom-sand-water-table-clear-p-9517.html)

If it anyone can destroy a theoretically waterproof system it would be a toddler.

Drop it in the path of the California Wildfires that happen annually. Maybe in a house that is in the path or something to show how it can protect your drive in those kind of dire circumstances...

Or roast the device, then use a hose to cool it off like what would happen in a house fire when the firemen put out the fire with water.

I like the Jet engine idea. The ioSafe Solo is said to with stand up to 1550 degrees f and a jet engine can get around 2000 degrees f, not to mention it would be cool to see.

I wonder if it would stand up to the flame from a propane torch. The kind you use for soldering copper water pipes.

Create a test setup of a workstation. So a wooden floor, a carpet, a desk, a 386dx computer, and an old 8 inch trinitron screen (preferably macintosh). Now the next part is VERY important and crucial to this experiment. You must place a figurine of Chuck Norris on the desk.

Now use a flameflower to set the entire test site on fire. Have the fire department put the fire out (or just use buckets of water followed by a fire extinguisher if on a budget).

Recover the ioSafe and remove it's hardrive.

The harddrive should survive, but if my calculations are correct you should find a figurine of Chuck Norris inside the ioSafe enclosure as well.

Alternative Test:

ioSafe External Harddrive VS Chuck Norris (Figurine)


Put them side by side and flood them. They should both survive.

Use a flamethrower to torch them side by side. Only one should survive.


Open the ioSafe and recover a working harddrive. Plug it in to find that the pictures you had saved on the harddrive are still there, but Chuck Norris has mysteriously appeared in each picture as well.

Brilliant

It is funny and every computer geek would watch it, meanwhile it also displays the capabilities of this product.
