A Physical Write Protect Switch on Kanguru flash drives provides quick, easy protection against accidental overwrite or deletion of files, and can be an added defence mechanism against viruses on an infected host computer.
A Physical Write Protect Switch on USB and NVMe devices can serve two very important purposes;
1) protect the data on the drive, and
2) protect the drive from malware and other threats.
Unlike other manufacturers who may provide software-based write-protection, Kanguru provides a convenient hardware switch physically on the drive housing itself, so that the user can physically switch back and forth between “read/write”, or “read only” – before plugging in the drive. A physical write protect switch makes it very simple to switch to “Read-Only” mode, making it a great advantage over software write protection that might require formatting the drive or management tools.
