Nexcopy Announces New microSD Card Duplicator

Nexcopy Announces New microSD Card Duplicator

Today Nexcopy announced an all-new microSD card duplicator product line. Earlier SD duplicators required adapter cards for microSD media, which slowed down workflow. The new system eliminates adapters entirely, cutting unnecessary steps and boosting throughput. Nexcopy estimates production increases of up to 30% simply because users no longer have to seat microSD cards into adapters first.

microSD Card Duplicator

Every microSD Card Duplicator ships with Nexcopy’s Drive Manager software suite, known for its broad set of copy and management functions.

Copy Functions Built In

  • File Copy
  • Copy Add
  • IMG Copy
  • Unique Data Streaming
  • Device Copy (short)
  • Device Copy (full)

How They Work

File Copy mode points to a source directory on the host PC and mirrors its content to all connected cards. Copy Add can append new files to cards already carrying data. IMG Copy mode duplicates from a binary image file (.img) to create exact replicas, while the included imaging utility lets operators build masters from physical cards. Unique Data Streaming adds flexibility: push static plus dynamic content to each target, useful in publishing or serialization workflows. Device Copy modes (short or full) provide either cluster-only duplication for efficiency or full binary duplication including boot code for maximum fidelity—even with proprietary file systems.

The duplicator line is available in 20, 40, and 60 target systems, starting at $1,299. All models are in stock and ship immediately.

UPDATE

Nexcopy has also released a USB 3.0-based microSD duplicator, the microSD160PC, with significantly faster copy speeds and the same Drive Manager software functionality.

UPDATE II

Drive Manager can now write CID values (Card Identification Numbers) directly into ROM on supported media. For applications requiring CID-based authentication or licensing, this is currently the only commercially available system capable of performing such operations at scale.

Background on microSD

The microSD card, introduced in 2005 by the SD Association, is a shrunken version of the standard SD card (11 × 15 × 1 mm). Initially only a few MBs to a few GBs, modern cards now scale into terabyte capacities. Performance has also risen sharply thanks to UHS-I, UHS-II, and UHS-III bus interfaces, enabling speeds necessary for 4K/8K video, gaming, and industrial workloads.

Adoption began with mobile phones but spread quickly to cameras, automotive systems, IoT devices, and embedded industrial computers. Security features such as built-in encryption, password locks, and secure erase have been added as use cases shifted toward sensitive data handling. Ongoing innovation continues to push higher density, faster speeds, and greater durability.

With Nexcopy’s new microSD duplicators, businesses now have a scalable, professional solution for loading content, securing it, and managing unique data across hundreds of cards at a time—all without adapter bottlenecks.

Steampunk USB Stick with microSD Expansion Slot

I have been a fan of Steampunk products for a long time.  Typically I report on a Steampunk USB version, but today I get the pleasure to include a microSD card reader.

steampunk microSD

The construction is similar to other Steampunk products we’ve seen, made of brass, copper, glass, watch parts and clock parts.  The metal connections from the brass wire outside are made with silver solder and an acetylene tourch, which gives it the unique look and feel.  In addition, the maker, put extra time into the fitting and position of the internal components for a solid product. The Steampunk device is an 8GB flash drive with a microSD card reader at the tail end.  The technology is make of disassembled stock product where the microSD card reader is built into the flash drive.  Clearly the device will show two drive letters when connected to the computer, one for the USB stick and the other for the card reader. So now you can obtain a Steampunk flash drive with unlimited storage ability via the microSD card reader.  Price is much higher then the stock product, but hey, you’ll never get a great looking, customized case like this Steampunk body.
