4. Provoz

The USBDUPE115 offers various modes for duplicating and erasing USB flash drives. Its standalone operation means no computer is needed, and LED indicators along with the LCD display provide status information, eliminating the need for continuous monitoring.

Duplication Modes:

The device can clone up to 15 drives simultaneously with speeds up to 1.5 GB/min. Actual speeds depend on the flash media's specifications and overall health.

  • Sector-by-Sector Copy: Duplicates the entire drive, including partitions, data, and empty space, regardless of file system. This mode also handles Host Protected Areas (HPA). The destination drive must be of equal or greater capacity than the source drive. Duplicating a larger capacity drive to a smaller one is not supported.
  • System & File Kopie: Copies only the system and file data for supported file formats (FAT16/32, NTFS, Linux ext2, ext3, ext4).
  • Synchronous Copy: All target drives are copied simultaneously.
  • Asynchronous Copy: Allows removal and insertion of target drives while other copies continue. This mode is typically used for source content under 128 MB.

Režimy mazání:

The duplicator supports several erase modes to securely sanitize USB flash drives.

  • Rychlé smazání: Removes partition tables and the initial portions of the disk, leaving it in an uninitialized state. Data may be recoverable with specialized software.
  • Single-Pass Overwrite (Full Erase): Fills the entire drive with zeros, Fs, or random hex values, making data recovery more difficult.
  • 3-Pass Overwrite (DoD Erase): Performs the overwrite process three times, significantly reducing the possibility of data recovery. This mode meets DoD standards.
  • Secure Erase / Enhanced Secure Erase: These modes utilize erase functions executed by the drives themselves to overwrite sectors with zeros. They are considered highly secure as they cannot be interrupted, and any tampering will render the drive unresponsive. Enhanced Secure Erase is available on some newer drives.
