I'm considering the mtrust product from www.m-systems.com, which the marketing materials say can force users to only use their particular USB storage devices (or those that they OEM to others, like Kingston, Verbatim, etc.). Does anyone have experience with this package? If so, what are the pros and cons? Also, are there other solutions are out there that can ensure only specific USB storage devices are allowed on a system? Is there anything specific for biometric USB storage? Any comments on the effectiveness of such software?
