Manufacturer description
The Kanguru Flash Drive Max breaks new ground in portable storage! Set in a rugged aluminum housing, the Kanguru Flash Drive Max can be counted on to hold huge amounts of data and withstand the rigors of transporting it around. Slightly larger than a stick of gum, this unit packs a phenomenal amount of solid state storage into a small form factor. It operates on Windows, Mac and Linux, most without any device drivers. The Kanguru Flash Drive Max comes complete with KanguruShield security software, allowing Windows users the option of password protection for secure data. The KanguruShield software allows users to resize and format the flash drive space into public and/or private partitions. Setting up the KanguruShield security software is easy and user friendly! Use the Kanguru Flash Drive Max to transport MP3s, documents, email files, and pictures anywhere you want to go!Product summary
The good: The Kanguru Flash Drive Max has enormous capacity for a flash drive (up to 64GB), reads data quickly, ships with security software, and comes with a generous two-year warranty.
The bad: The Flash Drive Max is larger and heavier than most flash thumbdrives, is slow at writing data, and is prohibitively expensive.
The bottom line: Kanguru's Flash Drive Max is the largest-capacity flash thumbdrive available, but it costs more than many computers. Since most people use thumbdrives to transport relatively small amounts of data, this drive is overkill.
