Duplus DUP-35 is
a hardware solution that allows a user to switch between two bootable
drives with ease. With the Duplus
DUP-35, a
user can use multiple drives to achieve a multi-O/S system or multi-user
with the added safety of isolating the O/S from each other.
Sophisticated user can make their PC a true multi-boot system by having
one bootable drive installed with Windows O/S while another drive
installed with another O/S, Linux for example. Duplus DUP-35 also allows two users sharing a same PC to boot from
their own hard drive completely isolates from each other so if a drive is
infected with virus, another drive will still boot. |
