The USB Copy Cruiser Plus is a USB copy device with the added convenience of an 8-in-1 card reader. The unit will copy from one memory device to another or access it from a memory device to a USB flash drive without the need for a PC. This OTG (On-The-Go) USB technology is very useful, and the USB Copy Cruiser Plus proves only that useful. For the small foot print and compact size, just bigger then the palm, the product performs well, is easy to use and provides clear and conciseFeedback.
When I saw the USB Copy Cruiser Plus I got was surprised, was surprised how small and light device - add three AAA batteries, and I was out playing and testing. The feeling of the USB Copy Cruiser Plus is beautiful, fits well in your hand and custom button setup menu is easy to use and has a nice touch. This is a 4x20 LCD display, which can be easily read in medium or low light, bright light prove to be a small challenge, but also for LCD, without expecting any return toLighting.
The memory card slots are located on the top of the device over the top of the USB Copy Cruiser Plus can be accessed on the left. There are three USB ports on the lower left side, where two ports are used for the stand-alone devices such as MP3 players, cameras, flash drives and other storage, and a third USB port is used for PC Connection .
The USB Copy Cruiser Plus is USB 2.0 High Speed compatible when on a PC / MAC connected and used as a card reader.I noticed that you do not have access to USB devices via the USB Copy Cruiser Plus, when connected to the PC, during this operation works only the card reader and 2.0 High Speed. Often there is only USB ports for laptop computers and it would be nice, not just the card reader ports, but also access to USB devices via the Copy Cruiser to use when connected to a host computer. The Card Reader CompactFlash Type I / II, Microdrive, SmartMedia, Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO, Multi supportedMedia Card and Secure Digital cards. The USB Copy Cruiser Plus supports and recognizes all FAT file systems (FAT12, FAT16 and FAT32), but not NTFS, which makes sense, since FAT file systems are universal and NTFS is only Windows compatible.
The USB Copy Cruiser Plus performed as expected. The menu screen is very easy to read and navigate. The display will immediately tell if a memory card or USB device is connected via logos on the top of the screen. From this point on theArrow keys are used to navigate in a device and once up there logo is one color to indicate the device is selected. Next, go arrow "right" to the device, then simply select files or folders over the center circle button, which is to copy the Enter key. I think the interface is very logical, as all requests and commands needed to perform a task. Once started, displays the USB Copy Cruiser Plus just copied file and a time bar that indicates whenspecific file will be completed, then moves on to the next file should be copied. Upon completion of the unit shows "Done." To copy from memory card to memory card, you must "double" command does not use the "copy" command, which when copied to a USB flash drive is.
The speed of data transfer, which again is acceptable and good for the correct application and use. Since the USB Copy Cruiser Plus is not USB 2.0 high speed in the transmission of memory device to storage device Isaw the following during our informal testing: Memory Stick to USB flash drive; 321Kb/sec, CompactFlash to USB flash drive; 296Kb/sec connected to a PC and transfer rates, where close to 2.2MB/sec. I have a significant slowdown when copying from memory card to memory card, for example, from the Memory Stick or Compact Flash, had rates of up 4.6Kb/sec. Although the speed is not the first priority with this product, it is clear that comfort and ease of use is a -- Priority and Aleratec has succeeded in this attempt.
The USB Copy Cruiser Plus is a good product for someone on the road. It's ability, many of the USB device to copy to Flash memory, or visa versa, making for a "must have" for professionals on the move. The copier simplifies the process for many tasks, including the photographer to off-load data from their digital camera, data easily between people, without booting a computer, or use as a one-in-one USB Flash Drive> Duplicator.
In conclusion, if you put money into a memory card reader, you should see a little more money to invest and buy the USB Copy Cruiser Plus from Aleratec.
