USB Duplicator By Nexcopy Expands to 60 Ports
Nexcopy first made waves back in 2009 with their USB400PC and USB600PC systems—PC-based USB duplicators offering 40 and 60 target ports. At the time, these systems broke ground by overcoming Windows’ drive letter limitations and offering a modular expansion path for high-volume USB duplication.
Fast-forward to 2025, Nexcopy continues to lead the field with a wide range of duplicators, now including USB 3.0 support, write protection, and advanced data handling features. Their modular system design allows users to scale from 20 ports to 60 ports by adding more hardware units to the same PC-based platform—ideal for Fortune 500 companies, schools, universities, and service bureaus.
The company also overcame technical challenges like Windows’ drive letter limit by bypassing the OS’s native mounting system. Instead, Nexcopy communicates directly with each USB controller, allowing the system to support dozens of devices simultaneously without exhausting the alphabet.
Current models include:
- USB160PC – A 16-port USB 3.0 duplicator offering File, Device, Image, Copy?Add, and Unique Data Streaming modes. Includes checksum verification, data collection, and bootable image support.
- USB160PRO – Adds advanced features such as hardware write protection, CD-ROM emulation, dual partitions, Copy Secure encryption, and descriptor-level customization.
- USB400PC / USB600PC – Still the largest standard PC-based duplicators on the market with 40 and 60 USB ports, updated with Nexcopy’s latest Drive Manager PRO software.
Nexcopy’s Data Collection feature remains a unique and valuable tool. It reverses the usual duplicator workflow by extracting data from each USB drive and saving it into uniquely labeled folders on the host PC. This is especially useful for teachers collecting student homework or companies retrieving field-collected data.
The software will automatically create a directory for each student’s flash drive and dump the content into that specific folder. If the drive isn’t named, the system assigns its own naming convention for clear organization.
Another standout feature is Nexcopy’s Unique Data Streaming. Unlike traditional duplication, this allows the host to assign custom files—such as license keys, unique IDs, or serialized content—to each USB port. Nexcopy’s Drive Manager API makes this possible, and physical port numbering on the duplicator ensures content traceability.
New in 2025: Nexcopy now supports USB-C duplicators, offers write protection at the controller level, and includes content encryption features like Copy Secure for copy-protected flash drives.
