Mobile executives who are always on-the-move will appreciate the ioSafe Rugged Portable SSD. Essentially a solid-state disk (SSD) cocooned inside protective slabs of billet-machined aluminum, the portable drive was designed to survive extremely harsh environmental conditions such as immersion in water for up to three days and is crush resistant to 2,500 pounds (about 1,100 kilograms). Under the hood, an Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) 320 Series SSD, together with the built-in USB 3.0 port, makes it one of the fastest portable drives around. Weighing about one pound, the Rugged Portable SSD costs $499 and can be purchased from ioSafe here.
