45 Target CF Duplicator From Nexcopy – CF450PC

45 Target CF Duplicator From Nexcopy – CF450PC

Nexcopy Corporation released a new line of flash memory duplication systems, the CF Duplicator 150PC, 300PC and 450PC. These PC-based systems are designed for high-volume data loading to CompactFlash (CF) cards and bring serious throughput to industries still relying on CF for critical applications.

CF Duplicator

Nexcopy adds unique functions to make bulk data jobs less of a grind. For instance, the Unique Data Copy mode allows loading different files to each CF card during a single run—ideal for serialized content. Meanwhile, the Short Image Copy mode only writes data clusters in use, dramatically cutting copy times for partially filled cards. For Linux Ext2 or Ext3 file systems, the Full Image Copy mode ensures every byte is duplicated without question.

The CF Duplicator line is modular. Pricing starts at $1,200 for the 150PC, with clear upgrade paths to the 30-port and 45-port units. This approach gives organizations flexibility: start small, scale later. Nexcopy also allows mixing duplicator boxes, meaning operators can copy SD cards, CF cards, and USB flash drives—all at once, from the same software interface. That’s a big win for production teams juggling multiple formats.

Copy Modes Built In

The Drive Manager software offers six copy modes to cover nearly every workflow:

  • File Copy
  • File Copy Add
  • Image File Copy (.img)
  • Unique Data Streaming to each card
  • Device Copy – short
  • Device Copy – full

Where CF Still Matters

CompactFlash isn’t as mainstream as it once was, but it remains essential in industries that need speed, durability, and consistent performance. Photographers and videographers continue to rely on CF for high-resolution image capture and 4K/8K video. Industrial and embedded systems lean on CF cards for rugged reliability in environments where shock, vibration, and extreme temperatures are everyday realities. In medical imaging and patient monitoring, CF storage provides a stable backbone for secure data logging. Even in niche sectors like gaming arcades and forensic labs, CF holds its ground as a dependable medium.

By pairing robust hardware with smart software, Nexcopy’s CF450PC helps these industries keep CF media viable, efficient, and protected. For organizations still living in the CompactFlash world, this duplicator isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s the workhorse that keeps production running on time.

Compact Flash Uses Dual Processor For 90MB Sec Transfer Rate

dual processor CF cardYes, you read the title correct.  We now have a dual processor on Compact Flash cards.  The new SanDisk Extreme Pro clicks along at an impressive 90MB/s transfer rate. Just what the doctor ordered for the professional photographer and photo analysis equipment applications. So what does this mean for transfer rates?  Well consider a typical [high performance] CF card runs at 45MB/s write speed.  The new dual processor CF card runs [basically] twice as fast. Of course the device itself is only half the equation, you still need a host who can accept such fast speeds, such as the Canon EOS 7D or Nikon D300s dSLRs to name a few. For those who have the camera already, you might need the SanDisk Extreme Pro ExpressCard Adapter which plugs into the ExpressCard slot on laptops. Compared with typical card readers which offer up to 20MB/s transfer rates, the SanDisk adapter allows up to 90MB/s read and write speeds. The Extreme Compact Flash series is targeted at enthusiasts and available in 8GB (S$139 (US$99.43)), 16GB (S$269 (US$192.43)) and 32GB (S$399 (US$285.43)) capacities. For professional photographers who need fast, high-capacity media, the Extreme Pro comes in 16GB (S$413 (US$295.44)), 32GB (S$741 (US$530.08)) and 64GB (S$1,382 (US$988.63)) versions. The new cards are in retail stores now. Continue Reading

Nexcopy Uses Movie Trailer Theme to Make Product Announcement

Nexcopy Uses Movie Trailer Theme to Make Product Announcement

Here is an interesting twist on how a company can introduce a product. Nexcopy leaned on the classic movie trailer theme to position its new 40-port and 60-port USB duplicators. The production quality of the video is excellent, and at just about a minute long, it gives you enough information to spark interest without dragging on.

The concept works because it mirrors what audiences already know: trailers tease, excite, and build anticipation. Nexcopy applies that same principle here to highlight a new line of high-capacity duplicators that aim to solve real workflow problems for IT managers, production houses, and service bureaus who need to move content quickly and reliably.

We’ve mentioned Nexcopy Inc. before for its flagship 20-port USB duplicator, as well as its SD duplicators and USB Copy Protection solutions. This latest marketing push shows the company isn’t just building new products but also rethinking how to reach customers in a more engaging way.

Samsung Getting Into Retail Flash Memory Sales

For those who know, the Samsung branded NAND flash memory is considered the Tier 1 quality that everyone talks about.  It’s the best stuff out there…highest quality, best in performance, yet always a touch above others [Micron, Hynix, etc] in price.

Samsung flash

Well that might change because Samsung is entering the retail market with their solid state flash of Secure Digital, Compact Flash and microSD media. Samsung will release sizes from 4GB to 16GB capacity before the end of 2009.  These cards will be in the ‘Plus’ memory card class and compliant with the Secure Digital class 6 performance standards.  Cards boust a speed range of 17Mbps to 45Mbps.

Intel, Micron With 3-bit Cell Technology

Intel and Micron are two of the primary NAND flash memory makers and are partners in such manufacturing.  Earlier this month they announced new technology capable of 3-bit per cell storage which is based off 34-nanometer technology.

3-bit cell technology

The 3-bit per cell concept allows for more storage in the same realestat of flash memory.  This imporvement yields larger storage capacity of flash drives and SSD at a lower price. However, the new technology doesn’t come without some draw backs.  According to Kevin Kilbuck, Director of NAND marketing at Micron indicates the 3-bit per cell technology isn’t as stable as they’d like. For example, Kevin indicates the 3-bit per cell NAND technology will be found in less mission critical devices like USB flash drives, SD memory and CF memory.  The technology will not find it’s way into SolidState Disks until the manufacturing process is perfected.
“The companies explained that they need more experience in production volumes before they will be confident to position it as a chip suitable for the high-write environment of the SSD”
You can expect the 3-bit per cell to hit the streets sometime in Q1 of 2010. However, as with most technology, it’s on the way out before it’s ever even in; SanDisk and Toshiba disclosed in February that they had developed 4-bit-per-cell technology, which the two companies said was the highest-capacity flash memory technology in the industry.

2TB Sony Memory Stick Pro

Wouldn’t it be nice…a 2 Terabyte Sony Memory Stick?  It just might replace my trusted 8GB flash drive I use obsessively.  Bummer it’s not a real product [yet].

2TB Memory Stick Pro

Sony put out a specification for this new Memory Stick Format Series for Extended High Capacity on the oss-formats.org website earlier today.  The new series uses the exFAT format to reach these higher capacities, but still offers up poor transfer speeds of 480Mbps [60MBs per second].  That translates into a data load of about 555,555 hours – WOW – is my math wrong? The Memory Stick XC format series should deliver a maximum capacity of 2TB, 60 times larger than the company’s Memory Stick Pro, currently at 32GB. What’s even more interesting is that, at least on paper, the XC series will have the same form factors as Sony’s current PRO series. Continue Reading

Samson Q3 Is Portable Video Recorder With 32Gigs

Samson just released a great looking product, the Q3.  It’s a hand held video recorder and what is particularly nice about this unit, is the huge microphone perched at the top.  Now it’s easier than ever to capture that perfect moment – in both video and audio.

Samson Q3

In addition to the well positioned microphone, the Samson Q3 also has an expansion slot via SD card for additional memory capacity.  Up to 32GBs to be exact.  Thus the title of the article.

Remove USB Partition Is Possible With a’liddle Help

Yesterday GetUSB.info reported about a USB duplication service company that can remove partitions on a USB drive.  USBCopier can remove Read Only USB partition and remove CDROM USB partition through some sort of software they have.  They company can also remove those partitions for large numbers of drives.  I guess that makes sense if you are in the business of flash duplication.

remove USB CDROM partition

As GetUSB mentions, there is a utility out there to remove the partition of a U3 drive, but that only works for a specific model of flash drive.  We know many times, the promotional drives you get from trade shows have the partition with the companies information on there, and more often that not, it’s a CDROM partition with an autorun.  The autorun gets very annoying because continually launches upon connection.  It would be nice to remove the CDROM USB partition so you could use the full capacity of the drive without the autorun.
