| | Duplus DUP-35 Hard Drive Power Switch/Selector - Black | Product Description & Info |
 Mitron's 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 users 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.
