During a fire even a "fire safe" will reach extremely high temperatures. The goal of the box is to keep the internal temperature below 800 degrees (the autoignition point of paper). I can't imagine the internals of the NAS actually surviving above 200 or so degrees, especially given the fact there is less insulation than a standard fire safe.
A much better option would be to buy a gun safe from Costco or the like with a large internal volume and ethernet/power passthrough ports. The air inside will act as an additional insulating layer buying you time.
- Hamuko 3y ago>below 800 degrees (the autoignition point of paper) Isn't the autoignition temperature of paper like a third of that?
- Karsteski 3y agoThey never even mentioned what unit they're working in
- buildbot 3y ago800 degrees kelvin! Of course ;)
- crooked-v 3y agoIt's 451 degrees Fahrenheight, of course. Well, no. Actually it's a bit more variable than that, but "Between Fahrenheight 424 and Fahrenheight 475" doesn't make as punchy a book title for some reason.
- mike_d 3y agoPaper has an autoignition (spontaneous combustion) temperature of 842 °F (450 °C) and a flash point (set alight by static) at 662 °F (350 °C). Either way, both temperatures are much higher than 451 °F (233 °C)—books don’t catch fire at this temperature. https://ftloscience.com/flash-points-autoignition-fahrenheit-451/ https://ftloscience.com/flash-points-autoignition-fahrenheit...
- xyzzy123 3y agoThere are a bunch of fire tests for this thing on youtube. Can you imagine being on the engineering team for this thing and NOT fire testing it? That's the fun part!
- hulitu 3y agoTesting is expensive and the development process can/must be tailored. /s
