 Hi, this is Addie with The Verge and today we're going to go see IOSafe's new drives with Thunderbolt input. Apparently they are also Thunderbolt proof. Did anyone get to see a million volt Tesla coil at this CES yet? We wrote on our application that we were demonstrating some computer products and there was going to be a static discharge display as well. We just left it at that. This is the world's most rugged, fastest hard drive on the planet. It's machined from a solid billet of aluminum. It can withstand 5,000 pounds of crush force so you run over it with a truck or what not. It can also survive underwater, fully immersed, salt water, fresh water, and some fuels and chemicals that we've tested with as well. So with the Thunderbolt connection and twin RAID 1 SSD drives, this is a very fast drive. It can move 400 megabytes per second. So what I'm going to do here is I'm going to put some data onto the rugged portable Thunderbolt and then we're going to stick the Thunderbolt drive in the cage with Dr. Megavolt and expose it to a million volts of lightning power. Ready for the test? That's awesome. That's so awesome. All right, now he's going to grab the I.O.Safe drive and we're going to test this drive. I.O.Safe style with thunderbolts. This part always makes me a little nervous. I don't know why, but okay, we're good. So that's pretty hardcore, right? Let's see if we can get this baby to pop back up. So the good thing about this point is the DisplayPort controller is working. It's passing through the video signal. And I'm not getting a disk. This has happened before. Bummer. Okay. This has happened a couple times. I need a number one blade, small blade screwdriver. Right now I'm going to see if I can see anything in disk utility. This isn't popping up this way either. I'm going to try the second disk. I'm going to try and recover with a replacement controller board. That's a good sign. So the thunderbolt's back. I hate when the demos go this way. But I do like it when we can get the data back. So that was by far one of the more stressful data recoveries that we've done. We subjected the drive to quite a bit of stress, and we recovered.
