Introduction The Kanguru Flash Drive (Max) provides easy to use and lightweight removable Mass Storage. It acts just like a floppy disk or removable hard drive. You can store any type of files on it. You can even run applications and play multimedia files off the device. The Kanguru Flash Drive (Max) provides direct random access to your files; you can directly read, write, and erase any files on it. Its small size and fast access capabilities make it a suitable replacement for your floppy drive, zip drive, or CD-ROM drive. It provides an easy way to transport your data from one machine to another. You can even share with your friends and co-workers. The Kanguru Flash Drive (Max) uses Solid State technology to provide low power, durability, shock resistance, and long lasting data retention. Its USB 2.0 interface provides easy plug and play connectivity to your desktop and notebook computer. By following the USB mass storage standard, the drive can be plugged into any system that has built-in mass storage drivers without first installing the driver. In Windows ME, 2000, XP, 2003 you do not need to install any drivers, the Flash Drive uses the built-in Microsoft driver. You only need to install a driver for Windows 98SE. This driver can be found on the included drivers CD or online at www.kanguru.com. The Kanguru Flash Drive (Max) also provides a password security option for your data (Windows Only). By enabling this feature, the Flash Drive uses password security to protect your data from prying eyes. You need to install the security driver to use this feature. Once you install the security driver and set the password, the only way you can access the data is by entering the correct password. Without knowing the correct password, no one can access your data. The device can also be partitioned into public and secure areas. The secure area will always require the correct password in order to access the data. The public area is available regardless of the password. For convenience, the device comes preformatted with the whole drive as "public area" allowing instant use for most OSs. If you need the security feature, you must: install the security driver, repartition the drive into secure area, and set the password. Caution: by repartitioning you will erase all the data on the device; you must backup your data first. With the capacity of up to 64GB and the fast transfer speed of USB 2.0 Hi-Speed, you can tackle big projects involving storage of huge amounts of data.
