What is a media safe or data-rated fireproof cabinet?

A media safe or data-rated cabinet carries a UL Class 125 or Class 150 fire rating — designed to protect digital media, hard drives, USB drives, optical disks, and magnetic tape. Standard Class 350 cabinets maintain interior temperatures up to 350°F during a fire, which will destroy digital media (hard drives fail above 125°F). If you store backup drives, USB media, or tape backups, you need a Class 125 or 150 rated cabinet. At OfficeFurniture2go.com, we stock both — call 1-800-460-0858.
