1. INTRODUCTION 

 

The KanguruData Bank is a first of its kind, patent pending, storage device designed to simplify network data storage. Functioning as 
either a network attached or direct attached storage device, the KanguruData Bank offers true plug and play ability with little or no need 
for special configurations to connect it to your network. Just plug it into an existing USB or USB2.0 port! 

   

Each KanguruData Bank starts with 80GB of internal drive space, which can easily be increased by inserting various capacity 

KanguruDisks

. Add massive amounts of storage with each KanguruDisk you insert.

   

 

 

         

Note1:    In order to reach USB 2.0 speed, you must have a computer or host adapter card that has USB 2.0 

support. This device will automatically sense the speed of your USB port and adjust between USB 1.1 
and USB 2.0 speed.    If you do not have USB 2.0 support, the device will work at USB 1.1 speeds. 
Your Kanguru DataBank comes supplied with a PCI USB2.0 card. This card must be installed before
