26 Xerox LS Duplicator
Making Hard Drive-to-Disc Copies.
Copying from the hard drive is the best
way to make copies . Overall, there are four
benefits of copying from the hard drive .
Performance:
Copying from the hard
drive will enable the writer dives to boost
the copying performance to its limit .
Stability:
Copying from hard drive will
stabilize the duplication process com-
pared to disc-to-disc duplication .
Durability:
The hard drive is a more
durable storage device than recordable
discs . The recording surface of a record-
able disc is exposed and can easily be
scratched on its surface, while hard drives
are covered with metal and mounted
inside the duplicator protecting it from
incidental damage .
Convenience:
With your master disc(s)
stored inside the hard drive, you can
have access to each one easily . There is
no need to carry your master discs every
time you want to make a copy; they are
all stored inside the duplicator .
A partition/image will be created whenever
you begin to load master disc content into
the hard drive . The number of images the
hard drive can hold is determined by the
capacity of your hard drive and the size of
every master disc image you transferred
into the hard drive .

Throughout this manual, the
term partition(s) is also used to
refer to image files in the hard
drive.
Hard Drive Manufactures use
conversion rate of 1GB = 1
Billion Bytes or 1000^3 Bytes.
However, most Operating Du-
plicators, including our Duplica-
tion Duplicator use standard
conversion rate of 1GB = 1.074
Billion Bytes or 1024^3 Bytes.
Therefore, for an advertised
160GB Hard Drive (160 Billion
Bytes), the true capacity base
on our duplicator’s standard is
actually 149GB.
