Duplicator of Five HDDs by StorDigital

StorDigital Systems, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CD-writer.com Ltd, launches the HD Clone Station (SDHDCS-5), a standalone hard drive duplicator that creates up to 5 clones simultaneously.

The HD Clone Station can also securely erase data from multiple target drives using the USA’s Department of Defense 5220.22-M sanitisation recommendation. This allows companies disposing of their legacy hardware to secure their data prior to disposal.

The StorDigital HD Clone Station supports standard 2.5" and 3.5" internal SATA drives and SSD, as well as PATA/IDE drives by way of an optional converter sold separately.

The HD Clone Station from StorDigital is a way for system builders and IT technicians to migrate and propagate data across multiple HDD targets. The device will work with a mixture of drive types (eg PATA and SATA in the same pass) allowing to clone or sanitise a combination of drives at the same time.

It is standalone and requires no host PC or software for operation. The LCD interface allows for easy operation of the simple clone function. The device also features a host of more advanced functions, including Compare, Quick Compare, PreScan and more.

Nic Ranshaw, Managing Director of StorDigital Systems, says: "Data security is the word on everybody’s lips right now. Whether you are working in the public or private sector the importance of preventing unauthorised access to your organisations data has never been more important. We frequently see news stories regarding lost USB drives or data theft. It’s the responsibility of companies and the individuals within those companies to do all they can to prevent data leaks."

"With the new WEEE schemes in operation you have countless companies that offer regulated disposal for end of life electrical items, but disposal via unauthorised channels can lead to serious problems. The fact is that items such as business computers are often broken for components and an unsanitised hard drive can make very interesting reading for curious eyes. You could easily find yourselves victims of identity theft and at very least it’s an easy way to loose your customer database to the public domain – or your competitors," he adds.
