Four Port 3.0 Host Controller From Renesas

Renesas is the spin off company from NEC who’s already making waves with their newest announcement of a USB 3.0 host controller which supports four downstream ports. This means the chip will provide more USB 3.0 ports to a motherboard, PCI card or embedded system applications.  In addition the new controller reduces it’s power consumption and increases performance. Renesas claims a 40% increase with this new controller, and I hate to say it, but that is a big jump from previous controllers – so I’m not totally convinced.  So it’ll need to be one of those “guilty until proven innocent” situations.

SuperSpeed USB Duplicator Introduced by Nexcopy

SuperSpeed USB Duplicator Introduced by Nexcopy

USB hard drives have carved out a permanent role in everyday computing because of their balance of versatility, portability, and cost. They let users expand storage on the fly, create reliable backups, or move large files between machines without relying on cloud connectivity.

USB duplicator with USB 3.0 speed

If you need to duplicate a set of USB hard drives, what’s the play?

The USB Duplicator line from Nexcopy answers that question. Using SuperSpeed USB 3.0, the USB160PC can move 1GB of data to all sockets in less than a minute. On paper, a 100GB master takes about 1.5 hours to finish across 16 drives. In reality, that’s 1.6TB of data written in under two hours. It’s a reminder that while USB is serial by design, Nexcopy’s platform makes throughput add up quickly across multiple ports.

Why step up to a USB duplicator?

Portability: USB drives and portable HDDs are light, compact, and suited for field work or remote teams. Having an in-house duplicator lets IT departments roll out preloaded media in hours, not days.

Plug-and-Play: No extra power bricks or exotic drivers. Devices attach, enumerate, and run. The duplicator mirrors that same simplicity in its workflow.

Capacity: From a few gigs to multiple terabytes, USB has become the neutral storage format that works in nearly every environment. Whether it’s software distribution or media publishing, there’s a capacity tier to match.

Compatibility: USB crosses platforms—Windows, Mac, Linux, consoles, TVs. One duplicated set of drives reaches a wide user base without rework.

Performance and Market Context

The USB160PC is Nexcopy’s first SuperSpeed-class duplicator. By pushing 1GB per target per minute, it trims deployment time dramatically for promotional agencies, field service providers, and corporate IT shops handling large rollouts.

Price erosion in USB 3.0 media has only increased the appeal. As NAND costs dropped and controller tech matured, higher-capacity drives became cheaper to source. Manufacturers optimized supply chains, making bulk duplication not only possible but cost-effective. For businesses, that combination—cheap media plus fast duplication hardware—translates directly to lower per-unit cost and faster time to deployment.

With USB drives continuing to dominate as portable storage, the case for proper management gear is stronger than ever. The Nexcopy USB160PC sits squarely in that space, giving organizations a way to control content distribution, speed up workflows, and cut operating costs.
