OPSWAT is excited to announce the release of MetaDefender Drive v4.3.5 and MetaDefender Drive Toolkit v3.7.5. This release includes extended hardware compatibility, significant improvements to scan configurations, and improved engine update visibility. In addition to this software release, we are introducing the new MetaDefender Drive 2, with 1TB of storage.
Key Updates in MetaDefender Drive v4.3.5
Expanded Hardware Compatibility
For further compatibility and support for the latest enterprise devices, this release adds support for NVIDIA 40 Series graphics platforms.
Comprehensive Reporting with Engine Version Visibility
MetaDefender Drive scan reports now include more details about the scanning engine versions. This addition enables security teams to validate scan results against antivirus versions for compliance auditing purposes.
Enhancements for Smoother Operations
Besides the main features and improvements, MetaDefender Drive v4.3.5 comes with more enhancements for better usability and smoother operations:
- Improved system RAM validation: The RAM validation process has been improved to increase the reliability of the software update process. These improvements eliminate the possibility of MetaDefender Drive checking the available memory instead of the total memory, which occurred in specific cases.
- Accurate Storage Reporting: Improved accuracy detecting storage used by archives and reports, and available space when connected to My OPSWAT™ Central Management
- Faster Enrollment Handling: Reduced server-unreachable timeout from 120 seconds to 30 seconds, saving users time when a connection is interrupted or unavailable
- Responsive Custom Scans: Faster scan initiation during engine deployments
Introducing MetaDefender Drive 2 with 1TB Storage
MetaDefender Drive 2 becomes the standard hardware for the USB form factor. All MetaDefender Drive 2 units now ship with 1TB of storage. This larger storage space helps increase scan speed by up to 20%, enables saving more scan reports and forensic data sets, and increases the performance of resource-consuming operations, such as scanning large archive files.
MetaDefender Drive Toolkit v3.7.5 Enhancements
Reliable Image Downloads After Interruption
The MetaDefender Drive image download process has been improved to prevent the need for reinstalling or reconfiguring MetaDefender Drive Toolkit when a software image download is interrupted.
Disk Space Notification
MetaDefender Drive Toolkit now alerts users when low disk space is detected to avoid update disruptions.
