Disaster-proof storage specialist ioSafe visited ZDNet UK's Southwark offices today with some unusual pieces of demo kit in tow — a portable barbeque and a bucket of water.

The US company, which is known for its eye-catching demos (check out this million-volt drive-zapping escapade), is announcing the UK availability of its fireproof, waterproof, shockproof, crushproof and theftproof external hard drives and SSDs.

Aimed at small-to-medium-sized businesses, consumers and enterprise branch offices, ioSafe products are available in desktop and portable form factors and also come with a one-year data recovery service that guarantees the post-disaster replacement of damaged hardware with the original data restored. For a fee, you can extend this service for to up to five years.
