Article Highlighting SD Duplicator Equipment

admin News Room

An armchair guess saying that 50% of the donated USB flash drives come from corporations, we thought it appropriate to re-post an article with some valuable information for SD duplicator equipment.

Today, the optical drive is dead so many are going to flash memory for data distribution. USB is the defacto medium because every computer has a USB port, but most computers also have SD card readers.

This link is to an article that talks about different types of SD duplicators business can purchase. For business dealing with SD and microSD cards, they are looking to produce hundreds, if not thousands, of SD cards. To do this efficiently they will need a quality duplication system.

The article talks about both PC based SD duplicators and standalone duplicators, and highlights some key features between the two.

Yes, a bit off topic for this donation site, but still a good read if you deal with flash memory.
