Before Use
1. Please read this manual carefully before operation to avoid any misconduct.
2. Make sure that the storage device you want to use is of good quality and can be used
normally.
3. The capacity of target storage device must be greater than or equal to the capacity of
source storage device to avoid incomplete data backup.
4. It is recommended to use the Copy + Compare function when backing up, to ensure that
the backup data is 100% the same as the source data, because the target storage device
may have write errors or damaged sectors.
5. When updating the firmware, please do not turn off the power. If the power is interrupted
accidentally, the machine cannot be turned on, and it must be returned to the factory for
processing.
6. Keep the duplicator used in a dry environment. Rain, moisture, liquid, etc. may corrode
the circuit board and cause the machine to malfunction.
7. Avoid using the duplicator in dusty or dusty environments. Dust may cause bad contact
with the port.
8. This product warranty does not apply to accident, man-made destruction, abuse, or
improper use (such as using not in accordance with the product description, or intended
to exceed the scope of use for which this product was designed, or improper use of
fixtures, etc.)
9. If the duplicator performs normally, itis strongly recommended not to update the firmware,
unless there is a problem in use or a new function is required.
10. For convenience, the source storage device will be referred to as the source device, and
the target storage device will be referred to as the target device in this manual.

I. Introduction
This duplicator systemis designed and developed based on the FPGA fromthe world famous
semiconductor company XILINX. Every processing channel is parallel to each other with its
own control unit, therefore the duplicator will not sacrifice speed for the increasing number of
targets loaded - always remain the same and fast copy speed. The duplicator supports
intelligent copy with multiple file formats created by three major operating systems
(Windows/Linux/MAC), and makes mirror copies of data efficiently. Furthermore, this
duplicator has been fully tested with quality assurance before leaving our manufacturing
facility.
1. Features
a. Each processing channel has its own control unit and operates independently with
dedicated bandwidth of up to 300 or 600 MBper second depends on the model.
b. Standalone operation. No PC or software is required, minimizing possible computer
virus infection.
c. Instant power on and off, no warm-up or cool-down required.
d. Easy-to-use One-Touch copy operation.
e. Compare function available for verification of copy accuracy
f. Menu options are user-friendly and easily accessed through the 4-button control panel.
Use ▲or ▼ button to scroll through the options and view the operation status of each
channel on the 2-line backlit LCD display..
g. Powerful 32-bit CRC checksum to assure data integrity.
h. Heavy-duty hardware construction for commercial production or personal use.
i. 115V and 230V switching power supply maximizes portability for operation anywhere.
j. Designed to save users time and effort in creating multiple copies quickly and reliably.
k. Unique source data analysis to copy data area only to achieve highest efficiency
l. Supports multiple file formats: Windows: FAT 16/32、exFAT、NTFS, Linux: ext 2/3/4、
LVM、XFS, Mac: HFS/HFS+/HFSX
m. Not only to do copy, but also test flash media capacity and reading/writing speed.

II. Notice
1. The duplicator tasks mentioned in this user’s manual are as following: Copy, Compare,
Copy + Compare, Capacity Check, Format, Erase.
2. The Green LED flashes during the execution process of a task. After the task is done, the
Green LED will stay solid if the process is successful, otherwise the Red LED will be on if
the process is failed.
3. Press and hold Back button during the execution process of a task will stop and exit the
execution of the task.
4. DO NOT unplug SSD drive from the duplicator during the execution process of a task. It
may cause damage to the duplicator system and media.
5. It is strongly recommended that the capacity of target storage device must be greater than
or equal to the capacity of source storage device to avoid incomplete data backup.
6. The setting 6.10.3 Erase Source Port is to set if the data of source port can be erased. It
is used for all erase and format functions.
When setting is Enable, the data in source port will be erased.
If Erase Source Port is Disable, a prompt “Target data will be erased!” will be showed
to double check entering the erase function.
If Erase Source Port is Enable, a prompt “Source and Target data will be erased!” will
be showed to double check entering the erase function.
III. Operation Overview
The duplicator will start to execute a task after the source and target devices have been
inserted and the OK button is pressed. The task will begin and end at the same time for all
target devices. Any other target device plugged in during the process of a task will not be
executed with the task.
a. Insert source media into the source port and blank media into the target port properly.
b. Select the task from menu, and press OK button to execute it.

9
c. If the Target SSDs are not fully connected, pressing the OK button again will
execute the function immediately. Otherwise, If the OK button is not pressed
again, the function will be executed after 40 seconds.
d. During the execution process, the status of each target device can be checked by
using the ▲and ▼buttons. After the task is done, LCD display will show the number
of successful and failed target(s), and execution time.
IV. Daisy Chain operation
NVMe CyCLONE has daisy chain function. It can link multiple duplicators as one unit. The
unit only needs one source at the 1st duplicator and the source ports after 1st duplicator will
become target ports.
The connection method is shown as below.
