Kanguru FlashBlu30 – 32GB USB Flash Drive – Physical Write Protection Switch - Super Fast USB 3.0

I bought one over 6 years ago and it is still going! It has the ability to be locked in a "read only" mode so you can't get a virus from a computer that has one even if you stick this USB drive in it and copy files off of the USB stick or run apps directly from it. Only issue is that this brand is very expensive, but has solid build quality that does last. They have not come down in price over the years, they have become even more expensive. Many other USB flash drives I have used are very cheaply made and tend to break after a year or two of use. This one has an aluminum shell, led activity light on the end of it, and a cap to prevent dust and dirt from getting into the end. A must have in a world full of viruses.

I used to upload lot of MP3 to standard USB flash drive and use it in the car. What ends up happening is in a week or two the MP3 music in the flash drive gets corrupted because when you turn off the car it doesn't unmount the USB drive safely instead it just shuts off the computer. Remember I don't touch the USB drive when I shut off my car it stays exactly where it is plugged in.Then I bought this USB flash drive uploaded all my music then flipped the read only lock, now I don't have to worry about my music getting corrupted. It's been 2 months and so far and all the musics are just fine. It was 7° f outside freezing cold still the USB flash drive worked just fine.

I work in workstation support in IT so I carry this all day using it on various computers, and have had NO issues with it. The write protect switch is all important as I have no worries of a virus writing to the drive, meaning when I get to the office, no worries about my computer either. The speed is also superb!A little more expensive, but for me very much worth it!

Good speed and great to keep your AV/anti malware tools on if your a bench tech.Just flip the switch and you can plug in the drive with little worries of infecting the drive.I have 4 of these drives and one is dead. At this cost I would have expected the drives to be able to handle an accidental wash.I haven't opened the bad drive to check, but I'm expecting it's not potted which is a relatively cheap way of making the drive water resistant.My only other gripe "and this is a common one for USB drives" is the cap. If you use the lanyard you can't put the cap on the back...But overall its a good drive and really the only option I have found with a wright protect switch.

very useful for protection data.

Good quality item, feels solid. Maybe a little pricy. USB speed up to 170/180Mb/s. Hard to find a flashdrive with Write-protect switch nowadays. Even for outside US still reasonably fast shipping

I do not have the forensics skills to guarantee that this is completely write-proof when the lock switch is engaged, but I was not able to bypass that switch through software as an administrator.That makes this thumbdrive handy for running software in a read-only mode on PCs that need troubleshooting or are suspected of having malware. I use this only to carry apps and installer files, I do not back up files at all. This way I can load installers/apps from a trusted PC, then keep the drive in read-only mode when using on other PCs to prevent anything from being deleted or modified.

I use this device for its intended purpose, to transfer files from my computer to an untrusted machine. The write-protect switch is tiny and does stick out. I transport this device in its original packaging to avoid breaking that switch. I always transport this device to or from a room inside a building from or to my car. I never carry it far so I don’t care if the original packaging is bulky. This was the lowest cost device of its kind (write-protectable transportable storage) by half and I am comfortable with its limitations.
