Aleratec has introduced a new stand alone 1:1 HDD Cruiser, a high speed 1:1 hard disk drive duplicator that can support copy speeds of up to 70MB/s. It is equipped with a USB 2.0 port that allows access to both SATA drive bays from a PC to view and edit hard drives before duplicating.
The 1:1 HDD Cruiser’s drive bays are equipped with quick and easy loading doors. The source and target drives are loaded in the drive bays without the need for external cables. Each drive bay has internal Non Scratch SATA connectors designed for greater than 50,000 swap cycles minimizing worries about drive connection issues.
"The 70MB/sec copy speed of our new Aleratec 1:1 HDD Cruiser is twice as fast as many competitive offerings and it is equipped with quick load bays so there are no cumbersome external cables needed." said Perry Solomon, President and CEO of Aleratec. "With the USB 2.0 port connected to both drive bays provides JBOD access to drives in each bay. A customer can attach the 1:1 HDD Cruiser to a PC, load it with hard drives, and use it for additional storage or backup when not duplicating. Only Aleratec offers an affordable, easy to load and unload, hard drive duplicator with these extra features."
The 1:1 HDD Cruiser supports 3.5 inch SATA hard disk drives; an optional 2.5 inch SATA hard drive adapter 2 pack is also available for $37. The Aleratec 1:1 HDD Cruiser is available for $315.
