BlockMaster Intact
The BlockMaster SpeedStick SuperSonic rugged USB key is available in 8GB and 4GB models. It is more than rugged enough for the average business user, but it is not indestructible.

Insert Drive
To access the volume, simply insert the BlockMaster SpeedStick SuperSonic and double-click My Computer, then CD Drive (Login SafeStick).

After unlocking the drive, the control panel icon appears on the system tray. Im not sure what it is, but I suspect it was the model for the Olympic Cauldron in Vancouver. Far left.

Its possible to lock the SpeedStick from the control panel software, but the user cant do much else.
Side by Side
Heres the destroyed SpeedStick SuperSonic and the undamaged one.

Using SafeConsole I established user and group password policy before deploying the hardware.
System Tools
SafeConsole can be used to configure automatic backups of a users SafeStick to a server.
