4. Device Menu Overview
1. Copy
The Copy function copies the data from a USB storage device to one or more Target devices
in a synchronous operation, meaning that all Target devices are connected when the duplication
process begins and the duplication process has to finish before more devices can be inserted.
2. Async Copy
The Async Copy function copies the data from a USB storage device to one or more Target devices
in an asynchronous operation, meaning Target devices can be removed and inserted without having
to wait for the duplication process to finish.
3. Compare
The Compare function is used to verify the accuracy of the data duplicated on your Target devices.
The Compare process checks the data on the Target devices and compares it to the original data on
the Source device.
4. Copy + Compare
The Copy+Compare function combines both the Copy function and the Compare function into one
convenient process. The function will first run the Copy process and then automatically run the
compare function after the copy has completed to ensure that the data was duplicated accurately.
5. Erase
The Erase function wipes the data from any devices connected to a Target port.
Note:
Devices
connected to the Source port will not be erased.
There are 4 erase modes you can choose from:
-
Quick Erase
: The fastest erase method. The Quick Erase will erase only the partition table,
which will make the device appear empty. The device will be formatted FAT32.
-
RAW Erase :
Raw Erase is identical to Full Erase, except that the device will not be formatted.
-
Secure Erase :
Secure Erase uses a three-pass wipe method to thoroughly erase any data
on your device and prevents the data from being recoverable.
Note:
Due to wear leveling
technology utilized by most flash memory storage devices, some cells may not be wiped.
6. Format
The Format function allows you to format connected Target drives in either FAT32 or exFAT.
Note:
Drives connected to the Source port are not formatted.
-
Quick Format :
Removes the address files from the partition table.
-
Full Format :
Removes the address files from the partition table and scans for bad sectors.
7. Copy Mode
This setting allows you to select the Copy Mode. There are two options:
-
Brief Copy :
This is the fastest and recommended copy mode. Brief Copy checks the format
of the USB device and copies only sectors that contain data. Brief Copy is only compatible
with FAT16/32, exFAT, NTFS, HFS+, HFSX and EXT2/3/4 file systems.
-
Full Copy :
This is slowest but most reliable copy mode. Full copy does a complete bit-by-
bit duplication, allowing it to duplicate any file system.
