Kanguru is pleased to announce the release of its new Kanguru Mobile Clone Hard Drive Duplicator. The Mobile Clone is an ultra-portable, full featured, standalone 1 target Hard Drive Duplicator. It has all the features that IT professionals need, yet even a computer novice can use it right out of the box.
Capable of copying both SATA and PATA hard drives, the Mobile Clone is still small enough to easily throw in a briefcase or backpack to transport.
Kanguru is pleased to announce the newest member of the KanguruClone Hard Drive Duplicator family. The new tower-style duplicator can make an exact copy to 5 HDD’s simultaneously at speeds up to 6GB /min.
At a retail price of $999.95, the new unit is a great value. It’s the perfect product for any integrator or administrator that needs a high speed duplicator, but doesn’t necessarily need all the extra features in our most advanced KClone products.
In this age of technology, computer jargon and tech speak can confuse even the most tech savvy among us. A perfect example of this are the terms “image” and “clone” which have become practically synonymous. The misuse of “imaging” to refer to “cloning” and vice versa is so commonplace that it has given way to the idea that they are the same thing, which is not the case. Although both relate to the duplication of data, they each have distinct differences.
Disk Imaging
Disk imaging is a process in which the contents of the source drive are copied sector by sector and the data is then compressed into an “image” file. In this sense, we can think of imaging as a means to an end; a tool for creating the clone rather than the clone itself. Through the use of imaging software, the contents of an image file can be extracted to a new destination disk which, once restored, then becomes the clone.
Disk imaging is a useful backup tool. Some of the benefits offered by imaging include: Read more…
In light of the recent successes of our Special Operations and Intelligence Services, and to honor our veterans who have sacrificed so much for the good of our country, Kanguru will be donating 10% of every online order placed this week to the Fisher House. (http://www.fisherhouse.org/) This includes ALL products! Flash drives, hard drives, duplicators and more.
About Fisher House:
“The Fisher House program is a unique private-public partnership that supports America’s military in their time of need. The program recognizes the special sacrifices of our men and women in uniform and the hardships of military service by meeting a humanitarian need beyond that normally provided by the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs.”
“Because members of the military and their families are stationed worldwide and must often travel great distances for specialized medical care, Fisher House Foundation donates “comfort homes,” built on the grounds of major military and VA medical centers. These homes enable family members to be close to a loved one at the most stressful times - during the hospitalization for an unexpected illness, disease, or injury.”

If you are upgrading to bigger hard drives this year or transitioning to Windows 7, it might make sense to automate the process. This quick video shows just how easy it is to create multiple copies of a single master image:
Kanguru is pleased to announce that its next-generation Hard Drive Duplicator is now available!
The new Kanguru Hard Duplicator is a high speed, stand-alone SATA hard drive duplicator available in 5- and 14- Target models. With ultra-fast copy speeds of up to 9GB/min, the Kanguru HDD Duplicatior is one of the fastest cloning systems in the world.
Hard Drive Duplicators are great for rolling out a new OS or master image, as well as creating backups and securely wiping old hard drives. The easy-to-use menu allows you to get up and running in minutes.
One of our customers called last week to tell us the story of how the Kanguru Mini-Clone saved the day. This gentleman runs his own small business and stores very important files on his PC. Taking no chances, the system is set up with dual hard drives in a RAID 1 configuration. If one drive fails, the second drive contains an exact copy. Unfortunately, disaster struck when the motherboard failed and neither drive could be accessed.
The hard drives were quickly removed from the system and popped into the Kanguru Mini-Clone. The first drive was faulty, but the second one powered right up. Our customer was able to access and download all of his important files to another system through the USB connection. (The unit supports both USB and eSATA.) While he was at it, he used the Mini-Clone to make an exact duplicate of the functional drive and put it in the safe for backup. The business was able carry on with minimal interruption.
Kanguru Mini-Clone - Hard Drive Duplicator
We thought this was a great illustration of the versatility of the Kanguru Mini-Clone. In addition to being a hard drive docking station and cloner, the product also has data wiping functions to sanitize old equipment. It’s a great product for any size business.
Due to popular demand, the Kanguru Hard Drive Duplicator now features full support for Solid State Drives. SSD’s, which are rapidly replacing standard hard drives in laptops and netbooks, can be imaged, resized and sanitized using the HDD Duplicator.
Typical applications include:
Deploying new laptops with a standard image of Operating System and Applications
Upgrading an older drive to a new larger drive without partitioning
Creating a full system back-up to use in the event of a hard drive crash
