When you look at many of the competing HDD Duplicators, you’ll find that most of them top out at around 90MB/sec. So if you look at it more closely, that means the Vinpower HDD Duplicator can copy approx. 9GB/min, while the competition can only copy at 5GB/min. So, if you extrapolate that out over a now standard 500GB HDD, in theory, the Vinpower duplicator can copy the entire HDD in less than 30 minutes while the competition will take nearly an hour to complete. Take that further to a 2TB HDD and the time gap between the two becomes even further apart. The Vinpower unit, using the same criteria, could take less than 4 hours to copy while the competition would take nearly 7 hours to complete.

I don’t know about you, but I can think of much better things to do with my 3 hours than wait for a duplication job to finish. So if your time and money is important to you, I would recommend you read the specs carefully and judge for yourself which type of HDD Duplicator you’d rather use, the one that saves you time or the one you’re constantly waiting on, I know what I’d choose.

This application is particularly important in the creative world as most graphic designers and creative professionals prefer to use a Mac for its greater graphics and programing in this field. The biggest problem is that either most Macs come with no optical drives, or they only offer a DVD writer, leaving those needing to burn content on Blu-ray discs out in the cold. That is why Vinpower’s CopyConnect feature for a Mac is such a useful application. Not only will it save time in the overall duplication process by sending files directly to the duplicator’s HDD, it will also allow the user to burn their large and small files onto any format of discs, especially Blu-ray, which is not even an option on any Mac.

So, if you are a Mac user and you have content that you need to burn onto 1 or multiple discs, Vinpower offers the best solution.

The 5280-CB drive boasts many advantages to the standard half height burner drives, including Sony Optiarc’s own standard model 7480-OB and 5280-OB burner drives in the following ways:

Better Burning Quality:
• Secure Media Speed Stability – Ensures that media duplication speed does not exceed encoded maximum rates to provide better burning control and virtually eliminates bad burns.
• Enhanced Recording Stabilization Control – Ensures all drives in a single duplication environment burn uniformly to avoid disproportionate speed fluctuations, which lead either to failed discs or less compatible completed discs.
• DVD+R DL Overburn – Can extend the listed capacity from 8.5GB up to 8.7GB* to allow the user to capture more content on a single DVD+R DL disc.
• Stable Recording Control – The drives have an extensive database of media specs and are better able to communicate and convey these details while burning the disc(s) at ultimate speed.

Greater Compatibility with blank media and media players:
• Stable burning throughout – Provides consistent and reliable burning of any file type for the duration of the duplication progress to ensure the recorded media has far greater reliability of playback or that the discs will successfully copy to begin with.
• Enhanced Compatibility for DVD+R media – Ensuring greater compatibility with DVD Players
• Enhanced CD-R Duplication – Limits potential distortion in CD-R audio duplication
• Enhanced Compatibility for CD+G media – Ensuring greater compatibility with Karaoke players
• Supports 99 minute CD-R – Allows CD-R media to be over-burned effectively to 99 minutes

Drives Last Longer:
• Built using sturdier components – Compared to alternative drives, this model was built using the true Japanese design and parts lists for a stronger and more reliable system.
• Less Wear and Tear – since there are fewer bad burns, the system is able to complete its jobs in less burns meaning a prolonged life for the drives themselves due to less use
• Industrial tray gears & pulleys – provides a more stable disc loading tray for a longer life cycle (1 cycle equals 1 tray extend from and then return into the drive)
• Enhanced Error Reporting – Provides greater details as to the cause of any potential duplication failure during the Lead-In
Works with Robotic Duplication Equipment:
• Accurate Tray Extension – Provides reliable consistent tray extension for Robotic Duplication System

The 5280-CB drive is immediately available. Please contact Octave Systems for more details in regards to the benefits and capabilities of this drive.

The systems within the Olympus MD and Zeus MD Series are fully automated self-contained CD DVD Medical publishers with a built-in PC. The systems are asynchronous and can be configured with 2 drives with up to 330 disc capacity, 4 drives with up to 630 disc capacity, and 7 drives with up to 900 disc capacity, all with inkjet or thermal disc printers. Simply add a monitor, keyboard and mouse and you have a complete DICOM publishing workstation at your fingertips.

The powerful integrated LogiPACS software is a complete PACS system. It provides full DICOM compliance for the DICOM Store and DICOM Query/Retrieve services, hence it is able to exchange images with all nodes of the DICOM network. Olympus MD and Zeus MD have been designed to manage large DICOM storage archives through advanced CD/DVD production capabilities, including support for automated CD/DVD burning and direct to disc printing. Produced media can contain DICOM and non-DICOM files, as well as a cross-platform auto-running DICOM viewer application.

Olympus MD supports web access to its DICOM archive, thanks to its optional software modules. The studies stored in LogiPACS’s DICOM archive can be browsed through a standard web browser. An appropriate administration interface allows setting up web user accounts with configurable privileges; enabled web users may perform all the operations provided by LogiPACS.

To keep printing costs to the minimum, the Auto SpeedJet uses non-proprietary ink cartridges. Replacement ink can be found at any office supply store carrying genuine HP ink cartridges. The 4800 dpi maximum ink resolution creates true color, photo quality prints on top of any inkjet printable surface CD, DVD, or Blu-Ray Disc. And while the Auto SpeedJet comes standard with disc labeling software, use any graphics application of your choice. There is no need for specialized multi-disc printing software. Just enter how many copies you need in the print dialog box of any label design software and come back when all discs are printed.
