StarTech.com USBDUPE115: 1:15 Standalone USB Duplicator and Eraser
Product ID: USBDUPE115
Product Overview
A black, standalone USB duplicator and eraser unit with 15 USB-A ports on the front, a control panel featuring an LCD screen and buttons, and indicator lights.
This USB duplicator and eraser allows you to clone or erase up to 15 USB (Flash) drives without requiring a host connection. This means you can work more efficiently and manage larger batches of USB drives, saving time and effort. This standalone USB duplicator and eraser is perfect for IT professionals and system administrators working in corporate, education, marketing, or sales environments. The duplicator allows you to copy up to 15 drives simultaneously and offers both synchronous and asynchronous duplication modes, with speeds up to 1.5GB per minute. The asynchronous mode allows you to remove and replace USB storage drives while other copies continue running. The duplicator offers two duplication modes: system and file ("system and file"), and entire drive ("whole file"). The drive duplicator/eraser allows you to erase up to 15 memory (Flash) drives at once, making it easy to clean large batches of USB drives for reuse. The memory (Flash) drive duplicator offers three erase modes: quick erase, single pass erase, and multi-pass erase (according to U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) standards). The memory (Flash) drive duplicator and eraser is compatible with USB 3.0, USB 2.0, and USB 1.1 drives, making it an economical way to reuse or repurpose your USB drives. With a sturdy and compact metal casing, its standalone design makes it the perfect desktop accessory. The memory (Flash) drive eraser/duplicator also includes an LCD screen, which facilitates monitoring of erasure and duplication, to verify that tasks are completed. The USBDUPE115 model complies with TAA regulations and is backed by StarTech.com's 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.

Observations / Requirements
| System and Cable Requirements | The destination drive for duplication must be of equal or greater capacity than the source drive. For erasure, only destination ports are active, so the source port cannot be used. This helps prevent accidental erasure of a source drive. Supports copying/cloning/erasing on hard drives or solid-state drives via a hard drive docking station or USB enclosure (sold separately) if the storage medium supports it. |
