TEAC Introduces T-1000 Industrial USB Flash Duplicator

Company adds the flash duplicator to its line of disc printers and CD/DVD publishers

TEAC, a premier manufacturer of Disc Printers and CD/DVD Publishing Products, announces the launch of its T-1000 Industrial USB Flash Duplicator.

TEAC T-1000 is a 1:10 industrial flash duplication system. It is a scalable system that can be configured in 10, 20, 30 or 40 stackable flash duplication systems.

TEAC T-1000 features “Smart-Copy.” Only the data, including the stored master file system, will be copied into the targets.

“The smart copy feature can save time during the duplication process especially when there is a small amount of data on the USB drive,” says Les Luzar, Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing. “We know this feature is important for our customers, so we decided to add this to our industrial duplicator line. The tower flash duplicators available in the market do not offer this feature.”

TEAC T-1000 also features “Bit-by-Bit” Verification process, which is the most precise verification system available. Each bit of target is checked against its corresponding bit of the master drive to make certain the duplication is implemented correctly. This verification system guarantees a 100% correct copy of the master.

“The Tower USB Flash Duplicators available in the market today do not offer bit-by-bit verification,” says Aris Gharapetian, Director of Marketing, TEAC America, Inc. “Any other verification method can not guarantee that all data is verified and this will result in errors and incomplete duplication.”

Another important feature of the TEAC T-1000 is the comprehensive Windows Management software included with the system that provides detailed feedback on the copying process and verification. Data about the duplication process such as serial numbers, status and statistics will be saved in a log file. The main advantage of TEAC’s comprehensive log files is that it will let the user track every USB device according to its serial number and if it failed or passed the duplication process. TEAC’s Windows Management software also enables the operator to control and set up the duplication system from any PC. The software gives the user more control over the entire duplication process.

TEAC T-1000 features durable connectors / slots. TEAC guarantees up to 10,000 insertions per connector. A higher number of insertions per socket will lower maintenance costs and maintenance cycles. The T-1000 is an industrial design, developed to prevent downtime through overheating or dust. Through an industrial design, downtimes and maintenance costs and cycles can be minimized.

TEAC’s flash duplicators and disc printers and publishing systems are available through TEAC Distributors and Resellers.

“Featuring both flavors of FireWire and USB 2.0 connectivity, the new Iomega eGo Portable Hard Drive is ideal for Mac fans that want to take their files anywhere with the assurance of compatibility no matter which interface is needed,” said Jonathan Huberman, president of Iomega and the Consumer and Small Business Products Division of EMC. “Just like the new USB 2.0 eGo models we announced two weeks ago, the new triple interface eGo Drives deliver dependability and style with a compact, sleek new aluminum enclosure in eye-catching colors, as well as a collection of backup software to protect your data.”

Scott Zahl, vice president, vendor management for Ingram Micro U.S., one of Iomega’s largest IT distribution partners, said, “Iomega’s next generation of eGo Portable Hard Drives are well positioned to meet the increasing business and consumer demands for greater mobility, capacity and flexibility when it comes to accessing and storing their data. Iomega’s eGo Drive has become a channel favorite among our Apple resellers, especially as demand for portable hard drives continues to build within data-intensive vertical markets such as education, finance, and retail.
