Kanguru Flashblu 2 4GB USB Flash Drive

Perfect tool for IT professionals. You can lock the unit before plugging it on any system to prevent USB stick infections (infamous Conficker virus and others around). Hardware lock is unbreakable, in contrast to software locks (programs installed on the drive to make it read only) that can be hacked by viruses to infect the unit.

Very handy to repair infected systems by booting from the unit or using it to copy tools on target for cleanup or repair. Very good price for such a useful device! No more worries! I'm really pleased!

I am very pleased with the Kangaroo Drive with the write protect switch.

Pros:
* Very functional write-protect switch.
As a technician, I found a very usable USB drive which I can use with confidence on machines that might be infected with mal-ware. Having tested the write protect switch I am very pleased with my purchase.
* Rugged aluminum casing is a definite plus

Cons:
* Cap protecting USB connector could be easily misplaced. I would like some form of rugged attached protection for the connector.
* My only regret is not purchasing a larger one.

I purchased this as a replacement for another write-protect drive that had died on me and couldn't be happier. The speeds are great and the write protect switch works in real time without having to unplug the drive or have it stop and be re-detected.

These are great for working on infected or possibly infected computers without having to worry about something jumping to the flash drive and then back onto a clean machine.
