The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is a great opportunity for ioSafe to promote the launch of their new product, but generally, they do this in an unusual way. In 2010, they crushed the SoloPRO SSD with an enormous 15-ton excavator with metal treads, and in 2011, they shot in Rugged Portable with an M16. In both cases the data were safe. So, what’s going to happen in 2012? Well, try to find out and win their yet-to-be-released new product. Click here for more details.
