Title: Slow USB 2 speed, but great functionality
Review: I needed to build several hundred USBs for work. I usually use multiple USB hubs and slowly copy data into them, but for whatever reason it’s not been as smooth as it has been in the past. Lots of migration errors.So, I did some research because surely someone has come up with a standalone USB copier. And they have. The larger ones, with more ports, are incredibly expensive. But this one, with just 3 ports (1 for the source, and 2 to copy into) is the cheapest option I could find. But even being the cheapest, it’s still a really functional and well built device.*** Pros ***- Self-contained unit, you don’t need anything else (except power and the USBs)- Can be used to copy data, but also format- Includes instructions on how to use it, which are easily understood- Menu is easily navigated- Comes with power unit- Display is basic and functional, but bright and easy to read- Plug and play, with one button copy makes batch building USBs really easy- Times the total migration, so you can walk off knowing how long a migration will take- DoD level wipe is offered*** Cons ***- USB 2 speeds are slow. Migrating 10GB took ~20 minutes*** Overall ***I wish I bought this before. If you’re creating a bunch of USBs and need to copy data from an existing USB, then I’d highly recommend that you consider this device over using a USB hub. More reliable, more dedicated to the role, and you don’t need a computer on to run it.

Title: Solid performance if you use the same kind of USB sticks
Review: Just what we needed to copy info from one USB to many over and over again. Fast. Note that you need to use the same kind of USB sticks for the best results. Still, too expensive for my taste. There must be a cheaper way to do this.

Review: I had to duplicate 100 usb thumb drives over a period of a couple of days, and this worked as Iâ€™d hoped. It took about 10 minutes to duplicate 13.5 GB of data. No failed attempts, and it was super easy to use.

Review: I’m a sports videographer filming local high school sports, primarily football and baseball. I create game highlight video’s and sometimes college recruitment videos for the student athletes. Post season I place all the games highlight videos on a USB Drive and sell them to parents. The StarTech Standalone 1-5 USB Flash Drive Duplicator works perfect for me when I’m filling orders requiring multiple drives. Recently I had an order for 30 128 USB 3.0 drives and this duplicator created 5 at a time in approx. 2 hours time. Granted, the read/write speeds on the drives were not the best. I like that I can format/erase multiple drives at the same time. Works perfect for me and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Review: Ich war skeptisch, ob dieses GerÃ¤t meinen AnsprÃ¼chen – sorgloses und zuverlÃ¤ssiges Kopieren von USB-Sticks in 3-stelliger Anzahl fÃ¼r Kunden – problemlos bewÃ¤ltigen kÃ¶nne, und bin nun nach der Kopieraktion der ersten Charge positiv Ã¼berrascht. Das kleine Plastik-KÃ¤stchen tut seinen Dienst klaglos und benutzerfreundlich. Ich muss dazu sagen, dass ich bisher nur USB 2.0-Sticks kopiert habe, zu USB 3.x-Sticks kann ich keine Aussage treffen.Unter benutzerfreundlich verstehe ich:- Das GerÃ¤t hat an der RÃ¼ckseite einen Ein-/Ausschalter (keine SelbstverstÃ¤ndlichkeit);- Es sind verschiedene Kopier-Modi wÃ¤hlbar (nur Kopieren oder Kopieren + “Compare”, also in einem zweiten Durchgang Kontrolle der tatsÃ¤chlichen DatenÃ¼bereinstimmung der kopierten Sticks mit der Quelle wÃ¤hlbar;- Wenn man nach einem Kopierdurchgang 5 neue Sticks – von rechts beginnend – einsteckt, startet der nÃ¤chste Kopiervorgang automatisch, ohne dass eine zusÃ¤tzliche Eingabe erfolgen mÃ¼sste;- Die Anzahl der erfolgreichen Kopien eines Durchgangs als auch die Anzahl der insgesamt erfolgten erfolgreichen Kopien werden angezeigt;- Nach einem Kopierdurchgang (nur Kopieren oder Kopieren + Compare) fordern 3 PiepstÃ¶ne zum Nachladen auf;- Das GerÃ¤t reizt die technisch mÃ¶gliche Schreibgeschwindigkeite des (USB-2-) Sticks voll aus. Dieser Punkt ist mir ganz besonders wichtig: Wenn man z.B. einen 8 GB-Stick aus seinem PC heraus mit hunderten Bilddateien beschreibt, kann dies wegen der wechselseitigen Datenkommunikation schon mal 15 Min. oder lÃ¤nger dauern. Beim Kopieren allerdings ‘fÃ¤hrt der Kopierer stumpf’ Ã¼ber diese Daten – und kopiert z.B. 1 GB Fotos in nur etwa 1,5 Min. (USB 2.0). Positiv!MÃ¤keleien:- Wenn man nach einem Kopiervorgang den rechten Stick herauszieht, kann es passieren, dass man aus Versehen dabei auf die X-Taste drÃ¼ckt – die bricht dann den weiteren Kopiervorgang ab und setzt das ZÃ¤hlwerk auf “0”. AnschlieÃŸend kann man dann natÃ¼rlich weiter kopieren – kein groÃŸes Problem. Passiert einem auch nur einmal. :)- Wenn man hunderte USB-Sticks ordert, ist es (leider) ganz normal, dass sich darunter auch mal technisch fehlerhafte/unbrauchbare Sticks befinden. Anstatt gleich zu registrieren, dass ein fehlerhafter Stick eingesteckt wurde, versucht das GerÃ¤t minutenlang, diesen Stick zu beschreiben (erkennbar daran, dass der Kopiervorgang nur sehr langsam fortgesetzt wird und in seiner Geschwindigkeit nahezu 0 ist). An dieser Stelle ist es nicht mÃ¶glich einzugreifen, man kann den Kopiervorgang nicht abbrechen oder den fehlerhaften Stick (welcher ist es?) abziehen; man muss warten, bis das GerÃ¤t den fehlerhaften Stick ‘preisgibt’ ( rote LED am Stick). Der Kopiervorgang wird dann mit den verbleibenden Sticks korrekt mit normaler Geschwindigkeit fortgesetzt.Aber diese Punkte fÃ¼hren fÃ¼r mich nicht zur Abwertung. Die stupide Arbeit des Kopierens von USB-Sticks kann mit diesem GerÃ¤t sogar (in Grenzen) SpaÃŸ machen – Kaufempfehlung fÃ¼r jene, die groÃŸe Chargen zu kopieren haben. DarÃ¼ber hinaus bietet das GerÃ¤t natÃ¼rlich noch weitere Funktionen, die ebenso leicht und intuitiv zu bedienen sind. Nicht billig, aber fÃ¼r Profis das Geld wert!
