Review on Efficient USB Cloning and Erasing with StarTech.com 1:2 Standalone USB Duplicator and Eraser (USBDUP12) by Sam Lund

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A Convenient and Efficient Tool

I use this device daily in a large IT environment to clone our image flash drives, among other things, and it is reliable and easy to use. Depending on the target flash drive, it takes us 7 to 22 minutes on average to clone two 16GB drives. Duplication speed is not an issue as this device runs as a background task. The ability to "set and forget” and not tie the computer to flash drive soft cloning was invaluable and was the main driving force behind this purchase. This item was the perfect combination of utility and price as the jump to a 1:5 copier is much higher and unnecessary for our needs.

Pros
  • REMOVE YOUR USB DRIVES SAFELY: The copier and USB flash drive eraser supports multiple erase modes including Quick Erase, Full Erase and Secure Erase. Secure Erase meets global requirements including NIST standards (SP 800-88 Rev1).
Cons
  • Security
