There’s no doubt that external hard drives are very useful tools for everyone from computing professionals down to the technologically timid—but anyone who’s used them knows they tend to stay on all the time, suckng power even if there’s no computer attached to them, or if they’re unused for for hours, days, or even weeks. To that end, storage and security vendor Kanguru has announced its new Kanguru Eco Drive, which is not only manufactured to be RoHS compliant and avoid the use of hazardous materials, but sports three power saving modes which can reduce the drive’s power consumption by up to 75 percent compared to a typical hard drive—which also translates to a longer operational life for the drive.
