Introducing the Nexcopy Standalone USB Duplicator

We’ve reported about Nexcopy several times before, ranging from their USB duplicators to SD and Compact Flash duplicators. Today, we’re here to highlight the Nexcopy standalone USB duplicator.

Nexcopy, Standalone USB Duplicator

With flash drives growing in both capacity and affordability, it’s no surprise that data loads are also increasing. A few years ago, it was common to load a PDF or PowerPoint presentation onto a promotional USB stick for trade shows. Today, with the ease of creating videos and the popularity of platforms like YouTube, promotional content has become much larger.

Between 2010 and the mid?2010s, average MP4 video file sizes grew by roughly 30%, as creators embraced higher resolutions. In the past three years alone, they’ve expanded another 20%, driven by increased use of 4K and 8K content—a cumulative >50% increase over 15 years. Source: MASV – How Big Will Video Files Get?

The Nexcopy standalone USB duplicator supports copy speeds up to 30MB per second—that’s about 1,800MB per minute. While most standard USB drives won’t hit those speeds, higher-end flash memory can certainly take advantage of it. Taking this a step further, if you have 16 USB sticks on the system and each port is receiving 1,800MB per minute, this means the entire unit is actually copying 28.8GBs per minute as an overall throughput.

Real-World Impact on Productivity

A large software company is preparing a nationwide training program for 1,000 new employees across 50 regional offices. Each employee must receive a USB flash drive preloaded with 4GB of onboarding videos, security protocols, and software installation packages.

Without a High-Speed Duplicator:
Using a standard PC and manual copy process, it takes 10 minutes to copy 4GB to one USB drive. Copying 1,000 drives would require 10,000 minutes (over 166 hours) of labor. This could take an entire week even with multiple staff involved.

With the Nexcopy Standalone USB Duplicator:
Each port delivers up to 30MB/sec, or 1.8GB per minute. With 16 drives copying in parallel, 28.8GB is transferred every minute. Copying 4GB per drive means each batch of 16 takes just about 2.5 minutes. To duplicate 1,000 drives:
1,000 ÷ 16 = 62.5 batches
62.5 batches × 2.5 minutes = 156.25 minutes (~2.6 hours total)

Productivity Gain:
From 166 hours down to just 2.6 hours. This results in reduced labor costs, faster turnaround, and the ability to reallocate staff to other tasks. It also gives the organization immediate scaling capability for future projects.

Summary:
The Nexcopy standalone duplicator’s 30MB/sec per port speed translates to 28.8GB/min total throughput, which enables massive productivity boosts for businesses distributing digital content at scale—especially for training kits, product launches, software deployments, and marketing promotions. This technology doesn’t just save time—it transforms how companies manage USB-based data distribution.

The Nexcopy standalone duplicator line includes two models: a 16-port system and a 32-port system. Each system dedicates one port for the master device. That’s likely why the models are named USB115SA and USB131SA—one master and 15 or 31 targets, respectively.

We couldn’t find specific pricing on the Nexcopy website since the products are only available through authorized dealers. The release date for these standalone duplicator models was the first week of September 2010.
