CONCLUSION

   Just like every other portable encrypted drive the SECUREDRIVE KP 4TB by SECUREDATA might not offer the best read & write speeds but it actually does very well (for a portable HDD) as you can easily tell just by looking at the charts. Yes, the 4/5TB HDD variants are somewhat thicker compared to all other models but still thinner when compared to the equivalent model by iStorage. In regards to its keypad as some of you already know I prefer that type over Bluetooth models so nothing wrong here. Typically, I used several programs to try and force my way to the contents of the drive but since I’m not really a hacker I can’t vouch for its abilities (that’s something its certifications are meant to do). Finally, the addition of a carrying/storage case was a very good surprise, one which I hope SECUREDATA never stops.

   With a current price tag set at USD389.83 inside the USA (directly from SECUREDATA) the SECUREDRIVE KP 4TB HDD model is actually a lot more affordable than I was expecting (especially considering that the SSD variant costs almost 3 times as much). Unfortunately, just like with past models by SECUREDATA this too is not available on this side of the Atlantic (surprisingly enough 1/2TB versions are) so potential buyers should use the USA link as well. At the end of the day the SECUREDRIVE KP 4TB Portable HDD by SECUREDATA delivers as advertised and for that it gets the Golden Award.
