UltraLock 2TB USB 3.0 portable SSD
The Kanguru UltraLock U3-2HDWP-2TS is a 2TB external solid-state drive built for users who need hardware write protection on the move. Its physical switch instantly locks the media against any write operation, making it suitable for forensic capture, secure transport or compliance workflows. The 2.5-inch enclosure is wrapped in a protective rubber skin and draws power directly from the host USB port.
Sustained transfer via USB 3.0 interface
SuperSpeed USB 3.0 delivers consistent throughput for large sequential workloads such as imaging drives or moving multi-gigabyte datasets without the slowdown typical of burst-only benchmarks. The drive maintains backward compatibility with USB 2.0 hosts, though sustained rates will fall to that interface's ceiling. Bus power eliminates an external adapter, so thermal behaviour stays predictable during long copy sessions.
Plug-and-play setup with write-protect switch
No driver installation is required on Windows, Mac or Linux; the drive appears as a standard mass-storage device the moment it is connected. The only configuration step is the hardware write-protect slider on the enclosure — engage it before plugging in to guarantee read-only access, or leave it disengaged for normal read-write use. Forgetting the switch position is the most common cause of unexpected write failures.

Questions about this item
Does the Kanguru U3-2HDWP-2TS get hot or draw much power when it runs all day?
The drive is bus-powered over USB 3.0, so it draws power from the host port and has no separate adapter. Its 2.5-inch form factor and rubber skin help dissipate heat during extended use.
What do I already need to own for this 2TB UltraLock SSD to work out of the box?
You need a device with a USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 port running Windows, Mac or Linux. The drive is plug-and-play and requires no extra software, cables or external power supply.
Will this USB 3.0 drive slow down if I keep using it with my older USB 2.0 laptop?
The drive maintains compatibility with USB 2.0, so it will work on older ports. Transfer speeds will be limited to USB 2.0 rates, but the physical write-protect switch and rubber skin remain fully functional.
