  1. Greetings from lurker land.<br /> <br /> As a long time reseller of fire resistant safes. {I sell both the sentry and the FireKing MVHD safes among others}<br /> I'd like to add to Mr. Connaker's correct response. In the physical data protection business if it doesn't have a UL Class 125 1hr or better rating it's rairly if ever considered at the Gov. or Corp. level. That said as they can be unaffordable to some the Sentry has it's place - Not the level of protection I'd like to see but better than nothing. The Sentry and the IO are designed to allow the platters inside the drive to survive and be shipped off to a data recovery labs clean room to be dissected and data recovery attempted.<br /> <br /> The FireKing is the only USB connected UL Class 125 1hr rated unit available at this time. It is designed to survive the fire and the many hours of heat soak <strong>intact and bootable.</strong> Heat soak is where so many units fail the UL test, think of cooking a turkey - it will continue to heat soak or cook for 10 - 20 min. after you remove it from the oven. For a safe "cooked" at 1900 degrees it's much longer - many hours and for very large safes even days. In real life this is very, very important as the fire depart will rarely if ever allow immediate access to the site of a fire.<br /> <br /> Also beware of tricky advertising copy. Some resellers will simply call a safe "class 125" giving the impression it's "ul" when it's not, or will say it's "built to" UL 125. I see this a lot with import stuff from the pacific rim and eastern Europe.<br /> <br /> As I'm a first time poster with a commercial interest in the subject. I will totally understand if the mods. choose to edit or delete this post. <br /> <br /> Rick<br />
