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
• Securely wiping all data before re-using or disposing

Adaptors for mini-SATA and micro-SATA connections are available.

Kanguru is now offering extended warranty plans on new Hard Drive and DVD Duplication units.  Plans will be 1-Year or 2-Year extensions.  The products have a 1-Year standard warranty, so coverage could be up to 3 years total.  We understand that customers want to protect their investments in IT equipment and that products and companies are judged over a lifetime of use.

Extended warranties are available up to 30 days after the purchase of your Duplicator.  Just contact Kanguru or your favorite reseller.

From the Daily Mail:  Computer hard drive sold on eBay ‘had details of top secret U.S. missile defence system’

I think that headline pretty much speaks for itself.  I’ll just throw in a plug for the Kanguru Hard Drive Duplicator, which has built-in hard drive wipe functionality.  The HDD Duplicator uses a data wipe algorithm complying with US DOD 5220-22.M Standard.  Simply deleting or re-formating a drive is not always sufficient to make data unrecoverable.

Kessler International purchased hard drives from the popular auction site over a six month period and found that many of the drives were not properly wiped.  Computerworld has the story:

A New York computer forensics firm said that 40 of 100 hard disk drives it recently purchased in bulk orders on eBay contained personal information, including corporate financial data, DNS server information, and personal e-mail and photos.

As mentioned in a previous post, the new Kanguru Hard Drive Duplicator SATA can securely wipe multiple hard drives with a single push of the button.

In case you missed the press release last month…

Kanguru has updated the KClone product line with the new Kanguru Hard Drive Duplicator SATA.  Read the full story at our website (pdf).

For the security-minded professional (this should be everyone), the Hard Drive Duplicator SATA will sanitize old hard drives with the DoD-approved data wipe algorithm.  The product is also great for rolling out new computers with identical hard drive image, one-touch backup including the OS, and upgrading older hard drives to larger models with no data loss.
