Choosing the Right Data & Media Safe

Phoenix 4622 vs. Phoenix 4621

Choose the Phoenix 4622 when the 4621 does not provide enough room for your current backup inventory or expected growth. The 4622 increases protected capacity from 4.59 cu. ft. to 7.87 cu. ft. and adds two additional pull-out drawers, giving you 2 shelves and 5 drawers for organizing larger collections.

Data Commander vs. DataCare

Choose a Data Commander model when you need not only greater capacity, but also an interior designed for active media management. The combination of shelves and pull-out drawers makes it easier to divide media by backup generation, department, retention schedule, or format.

When Does 7.87 Cu. Ft. of Capacity Make Sense?

The Phoenix 4622 is a strong choice when your organization maintains hundreds of backup tapes or cartridges, multiple generations of archived media, or storage for several departments. Its larger interior also provides room for future growth rather than forcing an immediate second-safe purchase when your current media collection expands.

Shelves vs. Pull-Out Drawers

The 2 adjustable shelves work well for larger cases, media boxes, drives, or other items that benefit from open shelf storage. The 5 pull-out drawers provide easier access to tapes, cartridges, and frequently rotated media without disturbing the rest of the contents.

Digital Keypad vs. Key Lock

The digital keypad is particularly convenient in business environments where multiple authorized employees need access. It eliminates the need to distribute and manage a shared physical key while providing straightforward controlled entry.

Media Safe vs. Standard Paper Fire Safe

Choose the Phoenix Data Commander 4622 when your priority is protecting heat-sensitive digital media. Its UL Class 125 rating is designed around the lower temperature tolerance of tapes, drives, discs, cartridges, and other digital storage formats rather than conventional paper records.

Free White-Glove Delivery

Free white-glove delivery is included with the Phoenix Data Commander 4622 where available. Because this safe weighs approximately 1,250 lbs. and stands nearly 69 inches tall, the complete delivery route and final placement location must be reviewed carefully before shipment.

Because of this safe's size and weight, incorrect doorway, elevator, truck-access, or final-placement information may result in additional freight, redelivery, return, or restocking charges. Contact Advanced Filing Concepts before ordering if there is any uncertainty about the delivery route or placement location.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does UL Class 125 mean for digital media?

How much media can the Phoenix 4622 hold?
