SX Series 2.5"/3.5” SATA HDD/SSD & IDE Drive Cloning/Erasing, Up To 23 Targets
The SX series is a high-speed 2.5" and 3.5" SATA duplicator that comes in Standard, Pro and Ultra models with 8, 16, and 24 independent ports. No matter how many targets are being cloned at the same time, it will maintain the same level of performance, which sets it apart from computer-based cloning devices.
The SX series device duplicator is specially designed for professional use. The smart Quick Copy mode supports FAT16/32/64, Windows NTFS, Linux ext2/3/4, and Mac HFS/HFS+/HFSX formats which can clone “data areas” only resulting in increased production efficiency.
This unit complies with the U.S. Department of Defense's erasing standard (DoD 5220.22 M) and Secure Erase (NIST 800-88). It is important to ensure that data contained on discarded devices cannot be retrieved or copied by unauthorized personnel. Furthermore, the innovative open platform design supports multi-interface HDD/SSD.
Highlights
- Operation Type - Standalone, FPGA based operation, not a computer based design
- Controller Design - Embedded controller is designed to support capacities over 18TB+. Constant improvement supports latest available devices on the market
- Bandwidth Performance - Standard Model speed transfers of up to 9.0GB/min (150MB/sec.), Pro Model speed transfers of up to 18.0GB/min (300MB/sec) and Ultra Model is up to 30GB/min (500MB/sec). All systems have dedicated bandwidth enabling high volume replications without speed degradation.
- Read Only Source Port - there is no option to disable this built-in feature and it is integrated with all MDS SX duplicators.
- Module Design - modular ports effectively reduce downtime and are cost-effective for long term ownership.
- Real-Time PC Monitoring - view live status for writing and reading speeds, total capacity, current function progress per port.
- Event Log Management - exclusive log management records, details on each port such as serial number and source devices for improved production control.
Key Features and Benefits
The SX series feature open-platform design supporting multiple HDD/SSD interface capability.
Smart Duplication Modes: The areas containing data are labeled "Data". The areas being copied are marked in black color. Duplication time depends on the speed supported by the hard drive's controller chip.
Graphical illustration of Copy Modes: Our duplicators makes straightforward copies, but it is imperative that the copied data are verified through a bit-by-bit process, this will ensure successful copied and reduce customer recalls.
Sustained High Speed: SX Series SATA HDD duplicator copies up to 9GB/min on standard models, 18GB/min on PRO models and 30GB/min on Ultra models to all hard drives simultaneously, without any speed degradation on any port.
High Compatibility
- Quick copy mode supports Windows (FAT16/32/64), Linux (ext2/ext3/ext4), and Mac (HFS/HFS+/HFSX) formats.
- Whole media (bit-for-bit) copy mode supports all system and proprietary formats.
- Supports all brands of SATA drives.
- Designed to support hard drives larger than 18 TB.
- Supports MBR and GPT partitioning.
Sanitization methods
- Quick Erase: Erase HDD index table, and only takes A FEW SECONDS to complete.
- Full Erase: Erases the entire device
- DoD Erase: Complies with U.S. Department of Defense erasure standards
- Secure erase: A National Institute of Standards and Technology 800-88 accepted technique for properly purging hard drives. This method is supported by almost all modern SATA HDD.
Auto Rejection of Slow Devices
SX duplicators enable end-users to set the minimum writing speed threshold. This feature was developed to prevent and to eliminate problematic devices that halts the duplication and sanitizing process.
Verification of Data Integrity
SX duplicators make straightforward copies, but it is imperative that the copied data is verified through a bit-by-bit process, this will ensure successful copies and reduce customer recalls.
Skipping Bad Sectors
End-users are given options to skip bad sectors from the source device. Access the function to select the numbers of bad sectors to skip, from 0 through unlimited.
