3. Operating Instructions
The UB300 offers various duplication modes and features for efficient USB flash drive copying.
3.1. Copying Process
The UB300 supports high-speed duplication and various copying methods:
- Standard Copy: For general data duplication.
- Quick Copy: Optimized for specific file systems like Linux (ext2/ext3/ext4), NTFS, FAT16/32, significantly speeding up the process by only copying data areas.
- Bit-for-Bit Duplication: Ensures an exact, sector-by-sector copy of the source drive, regardless of the file system. This is ideal for forensic imaging or creating identical backups.
To perform a copy:
- Insert the source USB flash drive into the designated source port (usually Port 1 or clearly marked).
- Insert the target USB flash drives into the remaining available ports.
- Navigate the menu using the control buttons (UP, DOWN, OK, ESC) to select the desired copy mode (e.g., "1. Copy").
- Confirm your selection to begin the duplication process. The LCD will display the progress.
