User questions & answers

Question: Will this work with Windows
Answer: Yes it has been tested on Windows 10 and works seamlessly
Question: This means, it is not for disc drive front panel bays, right
Answer: If you mean a 5.25 inch bay where you install an optical drive, then yes, it will not fit. You need to get something like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HLZXH2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1which it mounts in and then mounts in the bay.
Question: Does the power light on this device stay on even when the computer is turned off
Answer: Is your power LED on or off when the system isn't running. It will depend on the way your motherboard handles power to the USB ports. My motherboard allows you to set a jumper to use the +5V rail from the power supply that does go off and on with the system's operation. The motherboard also allows you to use the +5VSB (the SB means standby) to power the USB ports. That stays power supply stays on as long as the power supply switch (on the back of the PC) is on and the PC is plugged in. Some motherboards may not give you this choice. Check your motherboard manual. If +5V is powering your USB ports the card reader's LED will be off when the system isn't operating. If +5VSB is powering your USB ports then the LED will remain on. Why have a +5VSB? Well that's to allow your front panel power switch to be a "soft" switch that doesn't switch the full load of your system. It also allows other components on your motherboard to to powered up when the system is not operating. That makes it possible for you to wake the system based on the time of day, by taping a key on the keyboard or clicking the mouse. Those last two require the keyboard and mouse to be getting power all the time. Today, most keyboards and mice are USB devices so motherboard designers use the +5VSB to power the USB ports if they want you to have the "tap to start" feature. Too bad they don't let you chose which USB ports operate that way. I hope that explains it for those who seem to wonder why the other guy is experiencing the power light on or off when the system isn't running. By the way, a little piece of black tape can hide the LED and others have disconnected the LED on some similar card readers by clipping the LED's power lead. I haven't cracked this one open to see if that is possible because it doesn't bother me.
Question: Is it possible to add it to a MPC 2000cl
Answer: Yes, i have installed these in 3 of my MPC 2000xl's. You have to drill holes in the bottom to mount. I think some people said they used double sided tape. I lined mine up and made marks with a nail, drilled both holes and mounted perfectly.

User questions & answers

Question: Do I understand correctly: the device allows you to write data simultaneously from 6 cards without loss of speed
Answer: Due to the design of the 6SD4FCRTB3C, each vertical pair of card slots shares a hub. This means, to maximize speed when using 3 or fewer SD cards, place the cards in either the top row or bottom row exclusively. When a card is placed in both top and bottom slots on a set of vertical ports the available bandwidth to both cards is reduced. Matt, StarTech.com Support

StarTech.com 1:2 Standalone USB Duplicator and Eraser - Memory Stick Cloner - USB 2.0 Flash Drive Copier / Thumb Eraser (USBDUP12),Black

StarTech

Based on 159 reviews Check latest price

Product description

This standalone USB duplicator lets you clone or erase two flash drives without connecting to a host computer.

1:2 Drive Duplication

The USB cloner lets you copy up to two drives simultaneously. It offers asynchronous and synchronous duplication, with speeds of up to 1.5GB per minute. Asynchronous duplication lets you remove and replace a drive while the other drive continues to copy.

The duplicator features two duplications modes: system and file or whole drive. System and file provides reduced duplication times. It copies partitions and stored data but ignores any sections with empty space. Whole drive takes more time because it does a sector-by-sector (mirror image) duplication of the drive. This duplication mode is ideal when you need to capture everything on the drive, including hidden data.

Erase Two Drives Simultaneously

The USB flash drive duplicator lets you wipe USB drives two at a time and supports several erase modes including: quick-erase, full-erase and secure-erase.

Secure-erase meets global requirements, including the new NIST (SP 800-88 Rev1) standards, ensuring that all drives are properly wiped.

Easy to Use

The standalone USB duplicator features an LCD display so that you can monitor erasing and duplication to ensure completion. It also has four shortcut keys for easy operation.

USBDUP12 is TAA compliant and backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty with free lifetime technical support.

  • DUPLICATE OR ERASE TWO USB DRIVES: The standalone USB duplicator lets you duplicate or wipe two USB drives simultaneously, without having to connect to a host computer.
  • NO NEED TO WAIT: The USB cloner supports both asynchronous and synchronous duplication. Asynchronous duplication lets you remove and replace a drive while the other drive continues to copy.
  • TWO DUPLICATION MODES: The USB flash drive duplicator supports two duplication modes, system-and-file or whole-drive. You can save time and copy over partitions and stored data using system and file duplication mode. Or you can create a mirror image of your drive and perform a sector-by-sector duplication using whole-drive duplication mode.
  • SECURELY WIPE YOUR USB DRIVES: The USB memory stick duplicator and eraser supports several erase modes including quick-erase, full-erase and secure-erase. Secure-erase meets global requirements, including the new NIST (SP 800-88 Rev1) standards, ensuring that all drives are properly wiped.
  • EASY TO USE: The USB thumb drive copier features an LCD display so that you can monitor erasing and duplication to ensure completion. It also has four shortcut keys for easy operation.

User questions & answers

Question: Does this support SD card duplication if used with 5 USB SD card readers? If so, any specific reader that it would have the drivers for
Answer: It will duplicate CD's and DVD's. This thing works great!! My wife and her friends have probably done over 200 copys of family recordings from weddings to graduations. Super simple and very quick.
Question: can i duplicate memory cards with this
Answer: It will burn both CD and DVD. But not blueray
Question: is this battery powered
Answer: This by far has been a really good burner out if the box I did not have to add anything just put my master disk and load blanks in the other 5 drives, total 6 drives one for master and the rest for copies..... I have burned over 2000+ dvds and not a single failure...
Question: Will this unit have any issues copying 54 gbs of data onto a 64 gb drive, or 60 gb of data onto a 124 gb usb drive
Answer: It is suppose to be able to burn dual layer disks Todd... BUT I had a duplicator similar to this one for several years and if you are trying to duplicate a custom dual layer video you could run into an issue. When you burn a custom video (lets say a 2 hr wedding video), your computer will auto switch over to the second layer to burn... DVD's that you purchase do this too, usually during a scene change... but these DVD's are mass stamped so the switch over point is never a concern because it is always in the same place. On a dual layer duplicator the switch over point is not recorded in the same spot because the duplicator always slightly compresses the video... the problem this causes can be "skipping" of the video as it looses contact with the data that keeps the laser tracking the video during playback. Basically the duplicator will record the original "switch over spot" as a "blip" as the duplicator selects a different spot to switch over to in the process. I do not know if the technology has changed since the older duplicator I had... and I haven't tested this one yet... but the issue I think is a valid one for you to consider. If you are just duplicating data and not a dual layer video then you should have no issues what so ever.
