A Data Safe is similar to a fire safe but to be effective, must in the event of a fire, maintain a much lower internal temperature than a fire safe (less than 52 degrees C - the point at which data media is destroyed). Because CDs, computer disks, microfiche and other types of electronically-stored information are more sensitive than paper to heat, moisture, and magnetic fields, a data safe plays a critical role in protecting irreplaceable records. This specialized safe protects against magnetic fields, fire, burglary, tampering, and dust. Data safes should carry a one- or two-hour UL fire and impact rating.
