Aleratec Inc. has launched its new DVD/CD Flash Copy Tower that copies flash memory cards and USB flash drives directly to DVD/CD and it is also a 1:3 DVD/CD Duplicator, all without a computer.

The DVD/CD Flash Copy Tower supports disc spanning to four drives so the user can copy full 16GB flash memory cards commonly used by professional photographers. It copies files and images from volatile flash memory devices to secure and non-erasable DVDs or CDs for safe keeping. The DVD/CD Flash Copy Tower supports most popular flash memory cards, including CompactFlash, MemoryStick/Pro/Duo, SD Card, MiniSD, MicroSD and USB flash drives.

With the DVD/CD Flash Copy Tower, flash memory cards and USB flash drives can be successfully backed up to DVDs or CDs without tying up a computer and put back into productive use quickly. This is particularly important to any professional or user that frequently takes many photos or creates many large files in one session.

"With the DVD/CD Flash Copy Tower, flash memory cards and USB flash drives can be successfully backed up to DVDs or CDs without tying up a computer and put back into productive use quickly. This is particularly important to any professional or user that frequently takes many photos or creates many large files in one session," stated Perry Solomon, President and CEO of Aleratec. "When it is copying large flash cards or flash drives to DVDs or CDs, as the disc in the first drive fills, it will use its special disc spanning feature to resume copying on the disc in the next drive, and so on. The DVD/CD Flash Copy Tower will even tell the customer how many discs are needed to complete the job. With four writing drives, an Aleratec innovation, it can backup the 16GB flash memory cards used in many professional applications."
