Extended Information

The SuperCopier® Desktop Low Cost unit is an economic, multipurpose drive duplicator with multiple ports; enabling the user to clone, image, duplicate, and erase multiple drives at the same time extremely fast and very efficiently. The unit is industrial and durably built, using a desktop-style, with easy to use touchscreen icons. The unit supports hard disk drives, SSD, and USB Flash drives. The main application supports many modes of operations, such as:

1) Mirror mode: Bit by bit imaging.

2) Quick Copy: Advanced Smart Copy of Partitions.

3) VHD Copy: Clone image of a virtual drive.

4) Selective Capture of Files and Folders.

5) Copy to Folder: Copy all data files from a source drive into one folder on the target drives.

The application supports duplication of data from one source drive to multiple target drives, or from multiple source drives to multiple target drives. The application is updated to clone Windows 10, and it automatically converts between 512k to 4k formats (Physical and Logical). The unit has no expansion capabilities.

Some remark on off the shelf cloning and imaging application: There are many cloning and imaging stand alone applications, only a few are really working!

Some of the testimonials:

"The MediaClone SuperCopier Desktop unit works very well. The unit runs very fast in multiple session operations, and it is very easy to use. We have loaded many different kinds of partitions on the source drive, and the Quick Copy mode works very well cloning the source to many targets. The application supports GPT and MBR partitions with scaling and non-scaling, NTFS re-size works with different size targets, and the latest Windows 10 is very well supported.” Benny Potlog from Intel Israel

"For our purposes, being able to sanitize many drives swiftly is a serious need. We looked into several devices but they were usually made for single purposes that didn't match what we were looking for. The MediaClone SuperCopier has allowed us to speed up cleansing drives dramatically as well as clone drives. It's flexible and allows for many operations simultaneously. In the rare event of any issues, we have always received prompt support from MediaClone. The SuperCopier is very well constructed, simple to use, and reliable." Warren Smite from Prosoftnet Calabasas, CA

“We have searched for few solutions that could help us to destroy our data from retired storage and came across MediaClone SuperWiper solution. I must say, it saved us lots of time erasing individual disks so we have decided to add the Disk Duplicator solution to clone drives. IT Folks love to be able erase data with DoD formatting tool and also provide audit trail for our auditors. Great product and I would highly recommend it.” Les Janeczko Manager, IT Infrastructure Fuzion Analytics

Application's Main Operations:
- Clone: Mirror bit by bit (any OS), Quick Copy (NTFS, FAT, exFAT, EXT2-4, HFS+), Selective Capture (Files and Folders), VHD Copy, and Copy to Folder.
- Erase or Format drives
- Drive Diagnostics

Cloning/Duplication:
- Main Copy/Duplicate/Clone Application Features:
- Mirror Image: 100% bit by bit for any size of master and target drive with any OS. The source drive and the target drives need to be the same make and size if the user wants to boot from the target drives. The user can image a portion of the drive by adjusting the % of the bit by bit mirror imaging.
- Selective Capture enables the user to browse the source drive and select partitions, folders, and files to copy. It is supported by partitions that are mountable under Linux (NTFS, FAT, exFAT, HFS, EXT2-4).
- VHD Copy enables the user to copy VHD files from a source drive that contains multiple VHD files.
- Copy to Folder: Clone the entire drive and save it into one folder.
- Quick Copy/ Advanced Smart Copy mode: This is where the cloning and deploying process is done with a copy of file system.
-It supports source drives with FAT/NTFS/HFS+/EXT -2-3-4 file systems.
-Automatically scans for all the partitions on the source drive.
-Option to scale all partitions, or scale only selective partitions, by the user’s selection and choice.
-Option not to scale partitions.
-Scale down: If the size of the DATA on the source drive (not the size of the source drive!) will fit the target drive, then the quick copy will be completed.
-Flexibility in cloning mode: It can be 1:7, 2:6, 3:5, 4:4, and more modes with the use of USB3.0 to SATA adapters.
- Automatically formats and partitions the target drives: On-the-fly, while the duplication runs.
- Verification of the copied data:
-Built-in data transfer verification mode applies for all modes of copy.
-For 100% bit by bit copy: The user can select to add an optional HASH calculation value during the data transfer (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-2) as authentication and verification of the copied data. SHA-1 is the fastest mode and it almost adds not delays the total copy time. For extra precaution, the user can also enable the option to "HASH target drives and compare" which will run an additional read-pass over the target drives at the end of the copy, calculate the HASH value by reading the data from the target drives, and compare the HASH values to the one that was generated from the source drive. This extra step will add some extra time; for example, if running 100% bit by bit copy from 1TB source drive to 7 1TB target drives can take around 2h. “HASH target drives and compare” can add another hour to the total time.

Erase and Format Operation:
- Drive Erase Protocols: DoD 5220-22M, DoD Lite (total of 4 passes), Security Erase, Enhanced Security Erase, or User-Defined Final Data Filling Pattern and the number of erase iterations (all erase protocols are NIST 800-88 compliance).
- Drive Formats: NTFS, FAT, exFAT, HFS+, and EXT4.

Drive Diagnostics Operation:
- Drive Diagnostics test and S.M.A.R.T. drive tests: If the user intends to erase a drive for re-use purpose, it is recommended to run some "Health test" on the drive prior to the erase process. There are 4 available types of tests:
-Read-Verify- supported by all storage protocols.
-Short Test (2-5 minutes)- scans random areas on the drive.
-Extended Full Test (Can take hours)- scans the entire drive.
-Conveyance Test- identifies damage incurred during the transporting of the drive to evaluate the "health" condition of the drive prior to the erase operation (S.M.A.R.T. tests are only supported by SATA/SAS storage protocols).
- Logs and Erase Certification: The application generates extensive erase log-files and erase certifications (option to save to NIST 800-88 format) that are easy to export to USB flash drives. The user can add his company logo to the erase certification and also add additional info on the erase runs that will append to the certification.

Parallel Operations:
- Multiple Session Operations:
- Versatility with Multiple Cloning Sessions: The user can assign and select one source and many target ports into one session of cloning. Also, the user can have many sessions of cloning; each will have one source drive and at least one target drive. This gives the user more possibilities to use the unit in a very efficient way. The user can run multiple, simultaneous, parallel operations using any available ports. Also, the user can combine more than one port/storage device to run in the same sessions. In addition, the user can mix different types of operations, and each operation is set as a new independent session. An example of operations: Erase data from a drive that is connected to the first port, quick copy using drives connected to ports 2 and 3, and so on.
- Multiple Sessions Application Screen: All running sessions are displayed in one “Application Screen”. The “Application Screen” shows the name of the session, the operation of the session, the error or abortion flag, the progress completion bar, and the successful completion flag. The user can abort a session, tap on a session to monitor its real-time running progress, and get the specific detailed setting for that run. It is a very easy way to view, navigate, and control the sessions.
- Drive Detection Application Screen: All drives and storage devices that are connected to the unit will be scanned and displayed in one application screen called “The Detection Screen”. The user can tap on each drive to get the drives detailed info, perform a specific operation on that drive, like resizing it, as well as select it for the desired operation they are planning to use.
