Common uses

These services are for jobs where the same media task has to be repeated across a batch, or files have to be gathered from many separate devices.

Duplication is for putting the same files on many physical devices. Consolidation is the reverse: files from many source devices are copied into one organized destination. Formatting, testing and checksum verification are used when a batch of media needs to be prepared or checked before use.

Product media

Load installers, drivers, firmware, manuals, configuration files or other authorized files onto USB drives or memory cards supplied with equipment.

Training and course materials

Prepare the same documents, videos, presentations or course files on multiple drives or cards.

Events and distribution

Prepare removable media for trade shows, presentations, sales materials, press kits or offline handouts.

Field and equipment deployment

Prepare removable media used for installation, updates, configuration or other approved device workflows.

Archive consolidation

Gather files from many USB drives and memory cards onto one external HDD or SSD, with an optional second copy.

Batch preparation and checking

Format, label, test or verify batches of removable media before they are distributed or put into service.
