Fireproof Cabinets — Expert Answer
Can I store USB drives and portable SSDs in a fireproof filing cabinet?
Standard UL Class 350 fireproof filing cabinets (designed for paper) allow interior temperatures up to 350°F during a fire — which is below paper's combustion point but well above the temperature at which USB drives and solid state drives fail (typically 125°F–150°F). For electronic media protection, you need a data-rated UL Class 125 or Class 150 media safe or cabinet, which maintains much lower interior temperatures. A small fireproof media safe rated for digital storage is often a more practical and cost-effective solution than a full-size data-rated filing cabinet for backing up digital files.
