Our friends at ioSafe have been in touch to let us know that they have just released a 3TB SoloPRO.
I have a SoloPRO and will be posting a review shortly.
ioSafe produce some pretty cool, and hard wearing products. Just take a look at a video of my blasting one of their Rugged Portable drives back at CES in January.
