Anyone tried to mass copy info onto 28 thumb drives at once? I assume it would create 28 drive letters that you have to copy to each one?

No, but I would imagine that one of two things would happen:1) The hub would give you problems because of inadequate power. If somehow, someway you are able to do it, then:2) You would run out of drive letters. You would have to use mount points: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753321.aspx

Unless there is a secret I am not aware of, you can only have 26 drives in most windows systems. Not sure about Mac. None the less, one of those drives would need to be your OS as well leaving you with 25. Not everything one plugs into USB is a drive to take up a letter. I dont think that was the intention of having 28 ports. :)So to answer your question, I think the most you could copy is 25 at one time. You could do that using GoodSync.

You can mix drives all you want as each drive is independent, it does not combine them into one drive. You will need 8 drive letters.

B. You are performing a bit for bit transfer from the source to the target USB Key. This device will not add to existing data, it overwrites everything on the target drive(s) in order to duplicate the data from the source drive. It is strongly recommended that you use the exact same make, model and size for all USB keys you want duplicated.

Seems to be limited to USB2.0. Also as someone already noticed it doesn't seem to support large external drives. I wasn't able to get either of my 3TB drives to work. All usb thumbdrives worked though.

I have been loking around for an external drive, and I've noticed they all fail! IMO the best way to gois to have 2 of the drives and do a periodic copy of each to each. I have a free agent on my mac and it has been working perfectly, but I am looking for a drive to back up between a PC and a mac. Two cheap drives may be more reliable than a single more expensive, since they all fail and you cant "pay out" of the uncertainty. Change that: Buy two expensive hard drives and dont even fool with the Seagates..

Well, I suggest using this as a search term on a search website: "why do flash drives have less space than advertised." I won't pretend to know how to answer that fully, but researching more should explain it. Plus the flash drive comes with a program on it, if I remember correctly, which takes up space - I always delete any programs that come with my drives since copying-and-pasting does the same thing for my purposes.It's not a product ripoff though, at least I don't see it as that at all. It's just the nature of flash drives.

Installed now one printer and one usb pen drive . It works but it is slow . With many drives i can't test now because the drive should be formatted by the nas and i don't have another one that i can do it now . Maybe some day and then i'll let you know

Make sure you read the directions (just a man thing). I don't say this trying to be smart but I found what I thought should be was not like it was designed. Check the size of the drive you are copying to. It has been awhile for me for more detail. Mine worked fine. I made sure I was copying to the same size. I suppose if you go say from a 100 Ggb to a 250 you may not gain more room on the new drive. Likewise, if you are going to a smaller drive it won't work. You can't pour a gallon into a quart it just won't work. Your target drive must be freshly formatted with nothing on it.

The one I purchased works....Try testing just 1 Thumb Drive connected to your computer,- maybe competing USB devices could be drawing too much current. Try it one someone elses' computer, if same result. Perhaps you need a powered USB hub. Or mail back to seller for exchange.

Hi I have used 8GB Thumb drives on this unti with no problems. I cannot speak on external HD on each side for I have not utilized that function. I can say I have used an 1.5 TB external on the Mixed Quad once again with no issues. Hope this helps and Happy Mixing.

I t does a sector by sector copy independent of the box. Place blank drive in B and good drive in A, push the button twice and done several hours later. I have cloned 4 drives with no problems

Yes, I do it all the time. Also I copy photo files between three hard drives. No problems.

umm im honestly not sure iv never done or even thought of partitioning a usb drive for more then one partition. i would just try it out the worst that can happen is it doesn't work but you still have a thumb drive haha

I wrote a non-techie review of my 64g and 128g. I compared writing 37.3 gig of data - the San Disk disk took 5:55 minutes for the 64g and 5:50 for the 128g. The other 2 (not cheapies) took between 25 and 36 minites. All were done with the same source data on the same computer using the same USB3 port. They were all USB 3 drives. Not sure what the specs are, SanDisk has them on their website, but I can tell you it is faster than any of the others out there except maybe the Lexar and the price on those is much higher.

You should ALWAYS have redundancy, especially with these kinds of drives. Yeah, they are cheap, but your data isn't. Buy two and use one as a backup. I learned the hard way myself.

I have about 2000 songs on an 8 GB USB drive and it plays them but not in a random order. I have not tried a larger one. I am doing a separate drive for a 60's class reunion and want song to play in a certain order so I have numbered them on the flash drive 1 through 120 and that is the order they play.

Hi, As Dave stated earlier, one slot is for reading, the other 2 slots are for copies. So it will only copy up to 2 USB Pen drives.
