Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Kanguru Eco Drive hard drive from Kanguru
Solutions!
This high speed USB2.0 Hard Drive is a great way to add storage to your PC,
Notebook or Mac. Add huge capacities and lightning fast access to all your data!
USB2.0 is 40 times faster than USB1.1, making it great for video editing, mobile
users, data back up, or simply increasing your computers storage space!
The Kanguru Eco Drive has built in technology to help you save energy and
increase the life of your hard drive. The product comes preconfigured to put your
hard disk into low power modes for energy savings that can be monitored and
configured directly in the provided Power Saving software! Also because your
Kanguru Eco Drive is not spinning all the time, the life of the hard drive is greatly
lengthened! (based on manufacturers MTBF Figures)
Note:
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 1.0 and USB 2.0 speed. If you
do not have USB 2.0 support, the device will work at USB 1.1 speeds. Kanguru
Solutions carries a wide variety of USB 2.0 PCI cards, adapters, and hubs should
the need arise.
