Virtual Console 60-port Flash Drive Duplicator Breaks New Record

While Nexcopy had made headlines by touting its USB Duplicator as the first that can make digital copies of up to 20 flash drives at the same time, Virtual Console now beats the record by taking 60 thumbdrives simultaneously. The new record holder also claims it's the fastest too, topping at 7MB/s write speed on each of its 60 ports. This translates into 420MB/s of transfer throughout. If you prefer some real-life benchmark data, that's about 91.4s for duplication of 60 pieces of 512MB drives.

Virtual Console's $7999 USB Duplicator works as a standalone device that can be managed over either USB or Fast Ethernet. You only need to plug in to a PC for monitoring. Perhaps the most distinctive feature is the duplicator encrypting data on the fly with 128-bit AES cipher as well as erasing data rendering previously deleted content unrecoverable. But at this price, Virtual Console is perhaps eyeing big companies' IT department with big budget.
