Nexcopy USB Duplicator Copies at a Jaw-dropping 1800MB per Minute to Each Port
Producing great swag for your next trade show just got a whole lot easier with the Nexcopy Standalone USB Duplicator. Nexcopy has been doing great things for USB drive distribution efforts for awhile now with USB CD-ROM emulation, write protection and read-only partition creation. They've managed to get USB duplication down to a manageable size and now they release you from the need for a computer at all to do your duplication tasks.
The two new USB duplicators are able to copy a source flash drive to either 15 or 31 target flash drives, all without a PC. These newest additions are no slouches on speed either, they both top out at 30MB/s write speed. (In theory, each port can copy at a rate of 1800MB/s.) This is well above the capability of most USB 2.0 thumbdrives so your mileage may vary. Regardless, this can greatly reduce the amount of equipment you have to lug around while running your technology booth or distributing a digital syllabus and books to your class each semester. Nexcopy hasn't published a price on their website yet, being something of a niche product they may not be at a mass production point in their model yet. Expect delivery on the order of weeks for this brand new arrival.

Bootable Flash Drive Takes New Meaning with Dr. Marten's Inspired Drive
Finally a flash drive worthy of my Dead Milkmen and Skinny Puppy MP3 collection. This flash drive (yes, probably boot-able) was produced by Dr. Marten's to mark their 50th anniversary. Bobbies and punks alike will gladly sell their soles to acquire one of these limited edition flash drives. They managed to shoehorn in 2GB of flash memory into the size µ leather boot. The shape may make it a little ungainly and hard to insert and remove but this seems appropriate for any boots we've ever owned. The drive is available from their website for $25 but will probably be a limited run. This odd move on their 50th marks an eye on the future for the famously non-marking shoe. The rest of their offerings are not surprisingly low-tech. We doubt you'll be seeing a Dr. Martens laptop any time soon but they could make one heck of an iPhone case. Package the case with the entire discography of the Ramones and you've got a real modern winner. Hey, we can dream can't we? Happy birthday Dr. Marten's, here's to another 50 years making some seriously cool shoes.
