Portable Jump-Drive Copier?

March 24, 2005 11:36 AM

I have in mind a device: it is portable (battery-powered); you plug pen/jump/thumb drive 'A' into it, and then plug pen drive 'B' into it. Press a button, and 'A' is mirrored to 'B'. Does this device exist?

Yup.

from furtive's link: "Please note, all digital cameras, MP3 players and USB external hard drives will need their own power source and USB cable to connect to the SyncBox. SyncBox will not provide power to any of these devices."

doesn't sound like this will work with most thumb drives as they usually rely on the computer for power.

No, they mean USB hard drives, which drain quite a bit of power, I've been told they work fine with USB flash based drives.
