One of my personal worries with having a personal computer as my main machine is fire hazard. I keep on thinking, what if I am out of my place when a fire suddenly broke out and engulfed my CPU? That would be a big heartbreak, I guess, since I have a lot of important documents stored in my personal computer, not to mention the games installed in it.
Of course the most logical way to get around the problem is to ensure that your house is free from fire hazard: make sure that cords are unplugged, etc. But we cannot say when will accidents happen. For all we know, the fire could start in our neighbor's place.
Another way to make sure that data is not lost is to have backup data. Now we're talking. At least, with a spare external hard drive, you are sure that no data will be lost--just expensive hardware.
It's either we put the backup hard drive in a separate location or we keep it somewhere inside your home that is safe from fire. Put it inside a fireproof vault or, better yet, make sure that the hard drive is fire proof itself. Where can you find such a hard drive? We have one here in Office 1000. I am talking about the Fire Safe Waterproof Maxtor 250GB Hard Drive from Sentry, maker of quality fireproof vaults.
From its name, obviously, your this hard drive is not only fireproof. It's also waterproof, so say goodbye to complication arising when your hard drive is accidentally splashed with water. It connects using USB technology so you can surely connect it to most laptops and desktops. As an added bonus, the Maxtor software installed in the hard drive protects your drive from system failure and virus/spyware infection.
