The sockets are the consumables of a duplicator just like the tires of a vehicle. After repeatedly inserting and removing flash media you will gradually wear out the socket in a duplicator and a replacement will eventually be required. Since ease of maintenance isn't necessarily a design priority for most duplicators in the market, it can be very labor intensive and time consuming to replace a deteriorated socket - from opening the case, disconnecting cables, to removing boards, then reverse the whole process to complete the task. U-Reach uniquely designed its duplicators to facilitate effortless maintenance. In its Intelligent 9 Duplicator users can easily exchange the sockets in THREE steps which can take less than ONE minute.
With this innovation, anyone can replace a socket thus making maintenance costs associated with the Intelligent 9 Duplicator greatly reduced.
No, we’re not talking about the Olympic medals; instead, it’s about two flavors of U-Reach’s Intelligent 9 flash duplicators: Silver and Gold Series. We’d like to take this opportunity to explain what differentiates the Gold and the Silver. For details about Intelligent 9 duplicators for media such as CF, SD/microSD, and USB etc., please visit ureach-usa.com.
With a price tag of 25% higher than the Silver (or base) model, the Gold Series has certainly come with more bells and whistles. Burn-in testing is one of the major enhancements. For factories or businesses that are meticulous in the quality of their flash memory cards/drives, this utility helps them pick out the bad apples by continuously writing and verifying data for a desired number of cycles or specified duration (30 min to 30 days). With models available from 10 to 120 ports, the Gold Series performs burn-in on all ports simultaneously.
Another addition is the logging capability. For users who need detailed job reports for auditing or trouble-shooting purposes, the Gold Series can store up to 30,000 records and dump them all in a card/drive. A typical record starts with a sequence number and timestamp, followed by port ID, status and task performed. In the event a job fails as a result of a bad sector on the media, the location of this sector will also be logged. Password protection of the log file can also be turned on if necessary.
An additional benefit of logging is to retrieve information that can be tough to gather otherwise. Take SD930G for example, this Gold Series 30-slot SD/microSD duplicator logs the card IDs (CIDs) of all the SD cards inserted within seconds, which is very beneficial to those who need such information for serialization.
In the games of duplication, Gold doesn’t always beat Silver though it does fit the bill for those who need it the most.
Following the introduction of
Intelligent CF duplicator in Jan 2012, U-Reach has recently released a Gold
Edition, nicknamed Golden Fox, to better serve the more demanding
professionals.
Burn-in testing is one of the two major enhancements. For factories or businesses that are meticulous
in the quality of their CF cards, this utility helps them pick out the bad
apples by continuously writing and verifying data for a desired number of
cycles or specified duration (30 min to 30 days). With models available from 8 to 120 ports,
the Golden Fox performs burn-in on all ports simultaneously.
The other addition is the logging capability. For users who need detailed job reports for
auditing or trouble-shooting purposes, Golden Fox can store up to 30,000
records and dump them all in a CF. A
typical record starts with a sequence number and timestamp, followed by port ID, status and task performed, then concludes with card-specific
information such as brand, model and serial number.There’s an optional password protection on
all logged records.
Retailed at $2,099 for the 16-port model, Golden Fox costs about 30% more
than its Silver predecessor.
This February, Lexar has made available on the market, its
new Professional 1000X compact flash (CF) card.
Photographers and videographers alike will recognize the superior
performance of this new card, with capture speeds of up to 20MB per
second. Lexar’s new CF Card also offers
read speed of 150MB and a write speed of
145MB per second. This means that data files can be quickly
transferred to the computer and videographers can spend less time transferring
files and more time behind the camera.
Videographer Alex Buono, acclaimed for his video production on Saturday
Night Live, said, “Lexar has always understood the technologies to make the job
faster and more efficient. The
Professional 1000X CF card will help ensure that a memory card is never the
bottleneck in the creative process.
Along with its incredible read and write speed, the
Professional 1000X CF also includes image rescue software to recover pictures
from deleted or corrupted files. The
Professional 1000X CF card is now available in 16GB ($142), 32GB ($263), 64GB
($440) and 128GB ($742).
If you do not want to pay the hefty price tag, Ridata offers
a fast, 600X, 16GB CF card for $56. The CF
Lightning MLC offers a write speed of 65MB/s.
Moreover, U-Reach’s new Intelligent 9, fastest ever, CF duplicator
supports copy speeds of up to 66MB/s.
With its
completely new ergonomic design and compact footprint, the Intelligent 9
Series flash duplicator provides not only efficient operation but also
effortless maintenance. Available in CF, SD/microSD and USB duplicators of 8
to 120 ports, the new series offers three different editions: Silver, Gold
and Red.
Silver edition gets the job done for most users; but if you run a factory
with high volume duplication on a daily basis, Gold package offers you
production log report and burn-in utility to stress-test your flash
memory. And for those who need more
security guarding their intellectual property, Red Fox (codename) lets you
build your own encryption mechanism during duplication.
