teeny tiny safe by She Who Writes (in the know, whoa)

I'm sure this safe will be wonderful to keep my data safe, but it will hold little else. It is teeny tiny, soooooo much smaller than it looks in the picture. I was VERY disappointed.

Fireproof Data storage by P. Nickolin (New York, NY)

I ordered this product to set up an ongoing backup of my computer that could withstand a fire or flood disaster. The product provides a place for a working portable USB hard disk inside a fireproof/waterproof container. On the outside is a USB connector and a provided double USB cable that connects to any USB 2.0 computer to provide data and power to the drive inside the container. Setup was a breeze and it works exactly as it's supposed to. I hope I never have to find out just how water/fireproof it really is. meanwhile, my TimeMachine backups are functioning on an hourly basis to a protected hard disk. I highly recommend the product.

Protect your MP3 Players, Ipods, External Drives by Michael Brodesky (seattle,wa)

My toddlers like to touch all the buttons on their MP3 players and end up changing the languages to Russian or Greek. We had to track down some friends to get the MP3 players working again. We bought the safes to keep our kids from having access to them. Works great if you have a USB compatable MP3 player. Good for rings, and other items as well. A lot larger then the pictures show it to be.

See above comment by Blake Nylund. I am the father-in-law Blake is referring to in his comment. After returning the second safe to Amazon, I decided to write a letter to the President of SentrySafe and report the difficulty I had experienced with this safe. Shortly thereafter I was contacted by a customer service representative who told me that he was looking into my complaint. The bottom line is that about a week later SentrySafe sent me a replacement safe -- however they included an AC to USB Power Adapter with the safe. While the safe was getting suffient power from my computer to activate a flash drive, it was not getting enough power for activate my 2.5" Cirago Portable External Storage Drive. The solution -- rather than plug both Y-Cable USB connectors into my computer to power the safe as directed in the SentrySafe instructions, I took one of the USB cable connectors (the one marked Auxillary) and plugged it into AC Power Adapter which was plugged into an external power bar. With this arrangement I was able to get adequate power to the 2.5" External Storage Drive. Later I had a follow up call from the customer service representative who wanted to make sure that all was OK. SentrySafe did a good job in standing behind their product and coming up with a solution to my problem -- plus they did not charge me for the replacement safe and would not accept payment when I asked them for a bill.

Great Concept, Great Price but SentrySafe seems to have a quality issue by Blake Nylund (Lynchburg, VA)

Great Concept, Great Price but SentrySafe seems to have a quality issue I saw this safe in a gadget catalog paired with a USB drive. What a great concept. Amazon is the best so I purchased one here for my father-in-law along with a USB drive for Christmas. He bought me the same setup. Mine worked great but his did not. There seems to be a problem with the feed through USB port on the safe. He sent his back and Amazon sent a replacement. The replacement had the same issue. We even swapped this one out with my fully working setup part by part to ensure there was not some other issue. The issue is the feed through USB did not work. The USB drive would work when plugged directly into the computer just fine (or my safe). When the drive was plugged into the safe it showed some signs of life but would not connect to the computer. Amazon was great and when the second one did not work sent my father-in-law a gift certificate. My SentrySafe is still working well and if not for the 2 returned safes for my father-in-law I give this product a 5 out of 5. Once SentrySafe fixes their quality issue I recommend this product strongly.
