![]() ![]() ![]() We are not talking about a fully ruggedized USB Flash drive here, but about a device that can withstand a bit more abuse than other similar solutions, since it comes with a waterproof stainless steel case featuring a titanium coating. However, the first impression can be a bit deceiving as Kingston has actually put the DT4000-M through a series of modifications meant to make it more rugged. On the outside, the DT4000-M doesn’t seem any different from all the other USB Flash drives released in Kingston’s Data Traveler series, except for the black finish that makes it somewhat more professional looking. It goes without saying that all these features make the Data Traveler 4000-M exceptionally well suited for enterprise use, where the remote management and forensic capabilities of the Kingston drives will definitely come in handy. Of course all these are paired together with AES 256-bit hardware encryption, to make the data stored on the drives safe. We will take a look at the software developed by BlockMaster a little bit later in our review, but for now it’s important to mention that SafeConsole brings three important assets to the Data Traveler 4000-M, namely centralized Flash drive management, centralized Flash drive security, as well as centralized tracking and reporting. In the case of the DT4000-M, this software is called SafeConsole and is what makes this secure Flash drive so special. In order to achieve this, Kingston joined forces with BlockMaster, a company specialized in developing server-based control software for such solutions. The Data Traveler 4000-M is part of a new breed of secure USB drives that are not only FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards) certified, but can also be managed remotely by a system administrator within the organization that deploys them. Over these last few years, Kingston has come out with quite an important number of secure USB Flash drives, but few of these are more advanced than the Data Traveler 4000-M that we are taking a look at today. ![]()
