SentrySafe Fire-Safe Hard Drive

SentrySafe has long been a big name in physical storage; with the Fire-Safe, it's getting into computer storage. Though the Fire-Safe's 160GB capacity is nothing special, the drive is both waterproof and fireproofundefinedif disaster strikes your dorm or lab, at least you know your data will be safe.
