Maxtor comes with fire and waterproof hard disk

What do you get when you mix water with a hard disk? What about a hard disk and fire? Well? Right, a lot of problems! Seagate and a company named Sentry also found this out and came up with a solution. Sentry is specialized in residential and small office security-storage containers and Seagate is known for their hard disks (also sold by the Maxtor brand name).

When you happen to get a virus or fatal crash Maxtor's has SafetyDrill software available, a new bare metal system restore feature, allows for a nearly instantaneous restoration of an entire computer system including applications and setting as well as restoration of the operating system, to ensure access to important files even in a time of crisis. 

The hard drive is protected by a Sentry Waterproof enclosure that protects data from fire and water. It is ETL verified for fire protection for 30 minutes up to 1550 degrees F and ETL verified waterproof -- meaning it is fully submersible for up to 24 hours.

You want it, you need it? The drives are available in 160GB with a MSPR $319.99 and in 80GB, MSRP $259.99.

James Bond? No. State and local government? Definitely. As someone who works with county and court clerks, I can tell you that anything that helps protect documents against disasters is a good thing and a "must have". I hope this turns out to be a reliable product and becomes an industry standard. I'm showing this article to my boss as soon as I get to work.
