Product ID: USBDUPE115
This USB duplicator and eraser lets you clone or erase up to 15 USB flash drives, without a host computer connection. This means you can work more efficiently and manage larger batches of USB drives, saving time and effort.
The standalone USB duplicator and eraser is perfect for IT professionals and system administrators in corporate, education, marketing, or sales environments.
The duplicator lets you copy up to 15 drives simultaneously, and offers both synchronous and asynchronous duplication, with speeds up to 1.5GB per minute. The asynchronous feature means you can remove and replace USB storage devices while other copies continue to run. The duplicator offers two duplication modes, system and file and whole file.
The drive duplicator/eraser lets you erase up to 15 flash drives at the same time, so it’s easy to clean large batches of USB drives for reuse. The flash drive duplicator features three modes of drive erasing: quick erase, single pass erase, and multi-pass erase (meets DoD standards).
The flash drive duplicator and eraser supports USB 3.0, USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 flash drives, providing an easy and cost-effective way to re-use and re-purpose your USB drives. It features a robust metal housing and a compact, standalone design that makes it the perfect desktop companion. The flash drive eraser/copier also has an LCD display that makes it easy to monitor erasing and duplication to ensure completion.
The USBDUPE115 is TAA compliant and backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.

Live Chat (opens in new window)StarTech.com hard drive and flash drive duplicators perform a sector by sector copy, which means that the target drive must be the exact same size (down to the sector) or larger than the hard drive or flash drive that is being copied. During a sector by sector copy, each individual sector is copied over to the target drive, regardless of whether or not any data is present. A 500 GB hard drive with 50 GB of data on it will take the same amount of time to copy as a 500 GB hard drive with 450 GB of data on it.
If you have two hard drives or flash drives that are listed as the same size but are different makes or models, you need to check how large both drives are down to the sector to ensure that the target drive is the exact same size or larger.
Before you can access a new or formatted drive in your operating system, you need to initialize it first and then create a partition on the drive. A partition defines an area of the drive to use for storing data. The partition uses a file system (for example, ex-FAT, NTFS, and so on).
Note: You typically only need to initialize a drive if the drive is new. If you cannot find an uninitialized drive in Disk Management, skip the following steps and try to partition your device.
Press the Windows key + R, type compmgmt.msc, and click Run to open Computer Management.
Navigate to Disk Management.
When prompted to, initialize your disk(s). If you are running Windows® 7 or later and are using a drive larger than 2TB, initialize the disk(s) with GPT. If you are running an earlier version of Windows, initialize the disk(s) with MBR. For more information, visit the following FAQ: https://www.startech.com/support/faqs/technical-support?topic=hard-drives#mbr-vs-gpt.
Click OK.
Note: The following steps create an NTFS partition that uses the entire drive space. To use a different file system, select a different option in step 6.
Right-click Unallocated or RAW volume, and select New Simple Volume.
In the New Partition Wizard, click Next.
Select Primary partition.
Leave the partition size set to default, and click Next.
Assign a drive letter or leave it set to the default, and click Next.
Enter the following settings to format the partition:
The new drive should appear in Windows Explorer.
Before you can access a new or formatted drive in your operating system, you need to initialize it first and then create a partition on the drive. A partition defines an area of the drive to use for storing data. The partition uses a file system (for example, HFS+, ex-FAT, NTFS, and so on).
Mac OSX detects a drive that needs to be initialized and automatically prompts you to initialize the drive. If you are prompted to initialize the drive, click Initialize. If you are not prompted to initialize the drive and you cannot find the drive in Finder, you will need to create a partition on the drive.
Note: The following steps create an HFS+ (Mac OS Extended (Journaled)) partition that uses the entire drive space.
To create a partition on a new drive, complete the following:
Open Finder.
Navigate to Applications and click Utilities.
Open Disk Utility.
Select the new drive and click the Partition tab.
Click Options and verify that it is set to GUID Partition Table.
Enter a name for the partition.
Click Partition.
The drive should now be accessible in Finder.
