ICS-JMR Media MASSter 102 PRO: Portable Disk Duplicator With Windows 10 Update and New Features

Intelligent Computer Solutions Inc. (ICS) and JMR Electronics, Inc., the exclusive ICS contract manufacturer, announced the addition of features and Windows 10 compatibility for their Media MASSter102 PRO.

The Media MASSter 102 PRO is a portable rugged, self-contained disk duplicator featuring performance and added versatility to meet a range of cloning and duplication needs.

It natively supports three 2.5″ drives (HDD or SSD) to perform either imaging (full duplication) or wiping (sanitizing, removing all data), as well as providing four USB ports and two eSATA ports for attaching a variety of drive types. Optional 3.5″ disk drive adapters are available to use with 3.5″ devices, as well as other adapters for SAS, SCSI and IDE drive types via the unit’s external PCIe slot. A CF card reader which plugs in via USB is available to interface with all common media cards to be used as master or target drives (or both); and this is a low-cost, portable product featuring an external PCIe slot which may be used with an available (option from the company) M.2 ‘M’ key NVMe/PCIe drive adapter which just plugs-into it, allowing those performance drives to interface directly with the Media MASSter’s PCIe bus to provide up to 70GB/min duplication speeds. This is a portable, low-cost product available that supports imaging of up to four M.2 PCIe drives.

2.5″ drives plug in to the Media MASSter via provided drive sleds. The system disk which contains the OS and the company’s imaging/wiping utilities is on a slide-out sled to ease system field upgrades or servicing.

Operation is via the unit’s built-in 7″ color touch screen and GUI, so no external keyboard nor monitor is required for use; it comes installed in a hard-shell transit (Pelican) case for transport and field operation. With its built-in GbE I/O port, the unit may be used with the Link MASSter option to acquire data from computers having non-removable drives via an Ethernet connection and can also be used to download updates or other network utilities.

Additionally, the Media MASSter’s internal OS has been updated from Windows 7 to 10, in light of Microsoft Corp.‘s ending support next year. Windows 10 has advanced security features over the previous Windows version that will continue to be updated for years to come. Last, Windows 10 offers third party application vendors compatibility now and into the future, as the unit accepts third party software utilities to enhance its operation. The Windows 10 version will be available on April 15.
