Q6
. Is it possible to copy when there is a big difference between Source and Target’s
capacity? For example, a 8GB source copy to 16GB targets?
A: Yes, but the source data must be within the capacity of the target devices. However, due
to capacity discrepancy, errors and lost data may occur. Using flash medias with the same
capacity is strongly recommended.
❶
If Source capacity is SMALLER than the target, for example 8GB to 16GB:
Example:
Caution
When there is a big difference between target and source’s capacity, such as
8GB to 32GB or 8GB to 16GB, there is a risk of target capacity, compatibility
and format errors. It is strongly recommended that target and source be in
close range of capacity.
❷
If source capacity is LARGER than the target, for example 16GB copy to 8GB:
▶
There are two results as shown in illustrations (1) and (2)
(1)
When a content is within the target flash media’s capacity.
(2)
When the content is outside the target flash media’s capacity.
Caution
The copy will fail because the data was stored beyond the 8GB area. The
duplicator will copy the data as is which means the location remains intact.
Warning:
The target 16GB WILL BECOME 8GB WHEN
READ ON PC. You can reset its 16GB capacity
by reformatting the device.
Copy OK
Copy OK
Because the data is within the 8GB area.
Can’t Copy
Because the data is outside of the 8GB area.
