  KanguruEco Drive will go to power management modes automatically if there 

is not any user action over a set period of time. 

  KanguruEco Drive will return to normal operation mode from power 

management modes immediately if there is any action from the PC host. 

  Everything with the KanguruEco Drive is automatic without any complex 

setup. 

  With the included Power Management Application software, settings & details 

of power management can be displayed and configured easily. 

  There are 4 LEDs to show the operation modes on the KanguruEco Drive 

o

 Access 

mode 

o

 Idle 

mode 

o

 Standby 

mode 

o

 Power 

Off 

mode 

  The optimal power management settings of the KanguruEco Drive will be set 

automatically by the embedded processor according to the HDD enclosed in 
the unit. 

  Extend the power on/off times of HDD with the Power Saved Management 

software to avoid hard power on/off cycles. (For example: Seagate 
ST9808210A has 600,000 software power on/off cycles, but only 20,000 hard 
power on/off cycles before average failure.) 

  During power saving modes of operation, your HDD is not spinning and this 

extends its average operation time before failure.
