| This USB duplicator copies data images up to 21 USB memory sticks simultaneously.
Pre installed system including altec copying software under Windows XP Professional with 21 USB 2.0 slots.
Supplied with English or German keyboard and operating system, mouse and DVD drive.
The in-house developed copy software has the same «look & feel» as the software for all other altec Duplicators.
Compatible media
The following storage media can be used in this USB Duplicator:
- USB 2.0 memory sticks
- USB 1.1 memory sticks
The USB sticks must be less than 11 mm in width and less than 42 mm in heights, if all 21 USB slots are to be used. There are no restrictions concerning the lengths of the USB sticks used.
Any size USB can be connected to the Duplicator if extension USB cords are used.
Copying methods
Three different copying methods are available for copying the data – copying of entire data images, copying of short images and the so-called file copying method.
1.) Image Copy (default method) – an image of the entire contents of the memory media is created and then copied to the target memory media.
Advantages: A 1:1 copy of the memory media is created. Accordingly, all sectors of the target memory media are overwritten. This method is supported by all memory media file systems.
Disadvantages: Copying is relatively time consuming because all of the bytes of the original memory medium are copied.
2.) Short Image Copy (option) – only the data sectors which are currently being used are copied.
Advantages: Significant time-saving if the master (source) memory media is only partly filled with user data.
Disadvantages: If the target memory media has already been used, some of the unused blocks may still contain old data. For maximum benefit, the data on the source memory media should not be fragmented. This software option works only with FAT formatted memory media.
3.) File Copy (option) – this means that copies of specific file directories or files are created. This is not a 1:1 copy of the memory master.
Advantages: The copying speed is – if the amount of data is smaller than the image – faster than when copying an image. There is no need to create an image file.
Disadvantages: This copying method only works with windows-supported file systems.
Duplication speed
The Duplicator’s transfer rate is approx. 70 MB/sec. For example, duplicating 21 USB sticks with 512 MB each, takes about 2.5 minutes (the speed is dependent on the make and model of memory stick).
This duplicator system benefits from the know-how and experience resulting from seven years of Duplicator development at altec.
