Introduction

1.    Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of a Kanguru Flash Blu3. The Kanguru Flash Blu3 acts just like a 

removable hard drive. Its small form factor, large capacities and SuperSpeed transfer rates make it a 

suitable 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 rates of USB 3.0 SuperSpeed, the Kanguru FlashBlu 3 can tackle big projects 

involving huge amounts of data. These features make this Kanguru FlashBlu 3 an ideal solution to your 

business and personal data storage needs.

The Kanguru FlashBlu 3 uses solid state technology to provide durability, shock resistance, low power 

consumption and long lasting data retention. Its USB 3.0 interface is backwards compatible with USB 

2.0 and provides easy plug and play connectivity to your desktop or notebook computer. The drive can 

be plugged into almost any system without having to install any drivers first. When connected through 

USB2.0 in Windows XP, Vista or 7 you do not need to install any drivers at all, the Flash Blu3 uses the 

built-in Microsoft driver.
