Fireproof Cabinets — Expert Answer

Can a fireproof cabinet protect USB drives and flash drives?

Standard UL Class 350 fireproof cabinets maintain interior temperatures below 350°F during a fire test, which is sufficient to protect paper documents. However, USB drives and flash drives can sustain data loss at temperatures above 150°F. To protect USB and flash drives, you need a UL Class 125 (data/media-rated) cabinet that keeps the interior below 125°F. A standard paper-rated fireproof cabinet is not sufficient for digital storage media. OfficeFurniture2go.com can specify the correct media rating — call 1-800-460-0858.
