Thanks everyone, there was a lot of interest in this one so hopefully we can do it again sometime!
I am kind of a storage geek at heart. I love this stuff. I’m not really sure why, but it’s true.
It’s also true that I am a big fan of ioSafe products. Are you familiar with ioSafe? They are well-known for building waterproof and fireproof hard drives – in other words, they put the “recovery” in disaster recovery!
Would you like to try one for yourself? Well I hope so, because ioSafe is letting me give away a 1TB rugged portable drive to 1 lucky winner! This is more than a $300 value people!
Here is a page where you can read more about this great product:

· Safe from UV, blowing sand, blowing dust, rain, salt, fog, ice or freezing rain up to 24 hours!
