CHATSWORTH, Calif., March 17, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Aleratec Inc., leading developer and manufacturer of "Prosumers' Choice" solutions for the USB, Flash, HDD, Blu-ray, DVD/CD, duplicating, and DVD/CD publishing markets, introduces its innovative new 1:11 USB Copy Tower SA, the fast, economical way to duplicate the same information to multiple flash drives, and it's stand alone -- no computer or any other equipment is required. It will copy, compare, or erase up to 11 flash drives simultaneously and all functions are selectable via a very simple duplicator controller with a back lighted LCD display. The Aleratec 1:11 USB Copy Tower SA takes the hassle out of trying to copy USB flash drives.
"USB flash drives have become one of the most widely used tools for individuals to share data and multimedia files due to size, convenience, and universal compatibility. Today, more and more flash drives are being used to distribute product information to customers, sales presentations, photos, files of all types to groups of users," stated Perry Solomon, Aleratec President and CEO. "Until the Aleratec 1:11 USB Copy Tower SA, the stand alone equipment needed to copy quantities of USB flash drives was expensive, cumbersome, and not readily available. It makes exact copies of eleven 256 MB flash drives in less than 2 1/2 minutes. The 1:11 USB Copy Tower SA is fast, simple to operate and very affordable."
The heart of the 1:11 USB Copy Tower SA is an intelligent USB duplicator controller that controls all of the functions needed to make USB flash drive copies, without a computer. There are four control buttons (up and down arrows, OK, and ESC) and a bright alpha-numeric display. The arrow keys index up and down through the controller functions; when you see the function you need, just press OK. The controller display indicates the function selected and also monitors progress and status of each operation and displays the results.
Advanced asynchronous USB duplication is supported, which means after you load a source flash drive, each target channel can be independently loaded with target flash drives to be copied, compared, and unloaded so copying more than eleven USB flash drives can be done on an uninterrupted basis. Synchronous duplication is also supported, in which up to eleven copies can be made at the same time. The new 1:11 USB Copy Tower SA USB Duplicator features high speed duplication and a bit-by-bit Compare function to confirm successful copies. It is the reliable, affordable, and convenient tool for anyone who has the need to duplicate USB flash drives.
With a low Estimated Retail Price of $1575 for the 1:11 USB Copy Tower SA (Aleratec Part # 330105, Ingram Micro SKU Q67538), Aleratec has successfully overcome a key shortcoming of alternative solutions, making it the practical and affordable solution for anyone that needs to duplicate large numbers of USB flash drives whether for business, education, government, house of worship or individuals.
