Looking for Explosion and Fireproof Hard Drive Enclosure

I am looking for a hard drive enclosure similar to helicopter black boxes (made out of titanium) so that incase something happens such as a large explosion or a raging fire breaks out the hard drive stays intact.

Any suggestions?

There are disaster proof hard drive systems such as found here but they can be very expensive. A better solution would be some kind of off site data storage. If you keep copies of your data on site and off site then the probability of you losing your data would be very small.

Can you give a bit of a description of what you want to do with this housing as there may be other issues you need to consider.

That or get a fireproof safe.

But seriously explosion proof?

WTF...

Best bet is off site storage. Even something as simple as a safety deposit box at a bank.

Dear Mr. Customer,

I think what happened is that there were messages downloaded at the same time as the "quota" message, emptying the inbox, making the quota message somewhat meaningless. There may also have been messages on the Mail Site server that the email program that lives on your computer deleted from the Mail Site server, depending on the settings of the email program that lives on your computer.

Sincerely,
Technical Support
