Hollon HDS-500E 1-Hour Fireproof Data Media Safe
The Hollon HDS-500E Data Safe is specifically engineered to protect heat-sensitive digital media—such as external hard drives, USB flash drives, CDs, DVDs, tapes, and memory cards—from catastrophic thermal damage. Standard document safes only keep interior temperatures below 350°F, which will destroy digital media. The HDS-500E maintains an ultra-cool interior temperature under 125°F during an external fire reaching up to 1850°F for a full 60 minutes. Equipped with an Electronic Digital Lock and double-door insulated wall construction, this heavy 141 lb vault delivers ultimate protection against fire, heat, sprinklers, water, and ambient humidity.
Key Security & Environmental Protection Features
- 60-Minute Fire Protection for Media: Keeps internal temperatures below 125°F during an external fire of 1850°F, specifically safeguarding sensitive digital storage devices (CDs, USBs, external hard drives, magnetic tapes).
- Water & Humidity Resistance: Precision-sealed construction protects stored media against fire sprinklers, water exposure, and ambient humidity during emergency conditions.
- Electronic Digital Lock: Outfitted with an easy-to-program digital keypad lock for fast, secure access control.
- Solid Double-Wall Insulation: Features specialized thick insulation and internal construction engineered specifically to block intense radiant heat.
- No Center Bolt-Down Hole: Intentionally manufactured without a bottom anchor hole to prevent moisture, humidity, and heat penetration into the inner vault core.
- Internal Organization: Includes 1 removable shelf for efficient storage management of hard drives, media cases, and backing storage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need a specific "Data Safe" instead of a standard fireproof safe?
Standard paper fireproof safes keep interior temperatures around 350°F, which protects paper documents but corrupts and melts digital storage media. A dedicated Data Safe like the Hollon HDS-500E keeps internal temperatures below 125°F and limits interior humidity, ensuring hard drives, flash drives, and CDs remain undamaged.
What digital media can be stored inside the Hollon HDS-500E?
The HDS-500E is designed to safely store external hard drives, USB flash drives, CDs, DVDs, backup tapes, memory cards, and digital camera storage.
Why does the safe have no center bolt-down hole?
To achieve a strict 125°F internal temperature limit and maintain a moisture-proof seal against humidity and fire sprinklers, the safe eliminates floor anchor penetrations that could allow heat or water transfer into the inner vault.
Does the HDS-500E protect against fire sprinkler water?
Yes. The heavy-duty double-door construction and specialized seals protect internal electronics and media from water runoff, fire department hoses, and overhead sprinkler activation.
Can the interior shelf be removed?
Yes. The HDS-500E features 1 removable interior shelf, allowing you to reconfigure the space for larger external hard drive arrays or stacked media storage containers.
