replacement for your external hard drive. It provides an easy way to transport your data from one place 

to another. You can store any type of file on it and share them with your friends or co-workers. You can 

even run applications and play multimedia files directly from the device. With large storage capacity and 

the fast transfer speed of USB 2.0 Hi-Speed, the Kanguru FlashBlu II can tackle big projects involving
