What is Flash Duplication?
It is not the blinding light used to take photos.
It is not the software that gives pretty pictures on websites.
Flash duplication is making multiple copies onto a variety of digital memory cards, used in computers, MP3 players, PDAs, GPS. camera phones and much more to store data, marketing material, music, video and software.
There are several types of flash cards, and the main types are
described below.
CDROM Services do not keep stock of any flash media,
ordering as needed, as prices are falling and capacity rising almost
daily. We
usually only supply in MINIMUM QUANTITES OF 100, although there is no
minimum quantity for flash duplication.
Autorun, password protection, copy protection and bootable, are all available for Flash, sometimes requiring special brands and extra cost.
Flash is available in different qualities. SCANDISK are the largest and best known manufacturers who also claim probably rightly to supply only A Grade. Many other manufacturers also claim, probably rightly, to supply only A Grade. The problem is that too many A Grade suppliers only supply a limited shape and colour range and often only with the manufacturer's logo already printed.
So if you want customised USB sticks you will usually have to settle for A- which are very good quality and suitable for most uses, except critical life support applications.
Not every application needs A grade, same as not everyone can afford or needs a Rolls Royce.
CDROM Services have solved the problem of using USB sticks of unknown grade by verifying every stick that they duplicate, and where absolute reliability is important, for only a small extra cost, re-verifying a second time on another day. This ensures that the data appears safely on every flash card and that the card has retained the data.
Different Types of Flash & Terms Used
USB Cards, Memory Sticks, Pocket Discs, Flash-Key, Pen Discs.
These are the memory sticks that plug into your devices USB port, are carried in pockets or on key rings.
They are available with covers that slide, twist, revolve or remove in huge variety of shapes and colours. (See samples)
Sizes are available from 512k (Rare now), 1GB (Best Value) to 32GB and soon 64GB.
USB cards are also available in different speeds for different applications. For most applications the only advantage of faster media is faster writing or loading, which is the duplicator's problem.
Printed and loaded USB is probably one of the most effective promotional products available.
USB memory sticks are claimed to be extremely time durable, most with guarantees of 3 -10 years of data retention.
Secure Digital Memory Cards (SD)
SD are the most popular of the small cards. They are used in computers, phones, cameras, PDA's, video cameras, GPS, games and more. They are available in sizes of 1GB, with 2GB, 4GB, 8GB and 16GB. Loading speed varies from 80x to 150x. But this is not material except for special high capacity needs. For computers, PDA, and GPS applications standard speed will usually be sufficient.
Micro Secure Digital Card (Micro SD)
These are the very small Flash cards, popular in phones, which need to be inserted into an adaptor the size of the SD card for duplicating, making them expensive to duplicate.
Compact Flash Cards
These are probably the second most popular Flash cards. They are a square shape. Their sizes range from 1GB to 32GB.
Memory Stick Pro Duo & Memory Stick Micro
These are used in Sony devices.
