Introducing FlashCopier:
- Create and publish your content to 500+ USB flash drives or flash cards of any type at once!
All on the same machine!
Now by linking up multiple FlashCopiers to form a duplicator farm, you can duplicate 500+ USB flash drives/cards simultaneously, all from one single console!
Since each member of the farm has its own processing power, performance of the farm is unaffected as new members are added. The expansion is virtually unlimited. You may get one FlashCopier now and add more as your duplication needs grow.
With major breakthroughs from our R&D team, not only can FlashCopier now duplicate USB flash drives but also flash cards of all types, including but not limited to SD (of all types, including SD, SDHC, Mini and Micro SD cards), CF (CompactFlash), MS (MemoryStick of all types), MMC (Multimedia Card) and more. We are currently certifying card readers for major types of flash cards and will eventually provide them with quipment purchases upon request at minimal costs.
FlashCopier is not only a duplicator but also a publisher! You can create, modify, test and publish your contents on the same machine! Just install your favorit authoring or publishing software on FlashCopier and you are ready to go! You may encrypt and copy-protect your contents before you publish them; and you can verify the contents (simply double click a target drive) or quality control your publications after you publish (duplicate) them, all in one place! No more running back and forth between your computer and the duplicator (as in non-PC based duplicators)!
Our patent pending technologies break the limitation of USB chains!
We are going to add more exciting features and raise the capacities soon!
* FlashCopier certified card readers required.
Key Features:

"Seeing is believing"
FlashCopier allows you to copy or duplicate a set of files from a source folder or a source flash drive/card to up to 500+ flash drives/cards at once, in a comparable time that you would normally spend to copy one flash drive/card. Hard to believe? Well, seeing is believing. Just watch the demo video below and compare the time used for copying the same source files to one USB drive and to 28 USB drives. The video also shows you how seamlessly FlashCopier works.
Cool? Well, 'You haven't seen nothing yet!' You will be more impressed if you check out the FlashCopier in Action page accessible through the top menu. Our customers are amazed by the lightening speed, reliability and consistency of FlashCopier. They can now duplicate hundreds or thousands of flash drives/cards in hours, instead of in days or weeks.
What makes FlashCopier so powerful?
The engine that drives FlashCopier to success consists of three key components: the embedded computer, the built-in USB multiplexers and the FlashCopier software. The computer, equipped with powerful Intel multi-core CPU and operated by Windows XP Professional, has been specially customized to work with the unique built-in USB multiplexers and optimized to run the FlashCopier software. The USB multiplexers, made with the latest developments in USB technology, provide high bandwidth data bus, allowing data to flow into more than a hundred of flash drives/cards at speed of 480Mbps simultaneously. The FlashCopier software, utilizing Microsoft Windows multi-tasking and advanced .NET multi-threading programming technologies, makes duplications of flash drives fast and easy! Among the three key components, the FlashCopier software works as a central controlling unit through its user-friendly interface, playing an important role.
Here is a screen shot of the powerful FlashCopier software:
As you can see, the software supports as many target drives as the hardware can accommodate. With a single button click you can copy, delete, format and even partition all the target drives/cards. You can set volume labels on the fly by simply checking the Set Volume Label(s) to box and entering the label before you click the command button. The Serialized Volume Labes check box allows you to make each target drive/card unique. The batch mode allows you to consolidate several tasks into one single job, making otherwise tedious duplication work a snap.
The software displays all the important information that you really want to know for each flash drive/card, such as file system, capacity, available free space and the space in use. It verifies every file copied against the source at both command (checksum) and OS level (file integrity) to ensure that each file is copied correctly. The Activity Log logs and timestamps the results of every step performed and any errors should they occur.
Not only is FlashCopier so powerful but also very robust against low quality or 'bad' flash drives/cards. It detects the bad drives/cards even before you start your duplication jobs, or catches them on the fly. As you may noticed from the screen shot, FlashCopier displays status of all drives by port and identifies the problematic drives with a red 'light' on the Port Map that visually maps each drive on the list to its physical port. This is indispensable or a must-have for any duplicators.
While sophisticated technologies are behind the scene we have made our every effort to keep the user interface as simple as possible. The result is an extremely user-friendly interface. Every button is self-explained and straightforward. Any one can operate it in minutes. An online user manual is also available on the Help tab, accessible anytime you need help on a particular topic.
"Flavors" of FlashCopier

What about performance?
FlashCopier was designed in such a way that any hardware bottle necks must be eliminated so the system is optimized to its maximum capacity. Each model has been tested with different combinations of system boards, CPUs, memory and hard disks, replacing slow components until performance is no longer improved. The results are optimized performances. The table below shows the time (in seconds) used for copying the same 200MB HD video file on each FlashCopier model:
Table: Time used (in seconds) of copying 200MB HD video file
Time used (in seconds) | Copying | Deleting | Formatting (Quick) | Formatting (Full) |
FCS-28 (28 targets) | 140 | 3 | 5 | 10 |
FCP-56 (56 targets) | 185 | 3 | 4 | 8 |
FCP-84 (84 targets) | 210 | 2 | 3 | 6 |
*USB drive used: Memorex DataTraveler 256MB
*Also note, when benchmarking the performance, different flash cards may show significant differences.
