Lake Forest, CA – July 19, 2021 – Nexcopy Inc., a leading manufacturer of advanced flash memory solutions, introduces Disc License CD-ROM flash drives.
Disc License flash drives provide a migration path for those who depend on optical media such as CD and DVD but can no longer offer those products because optical drives are nearly gone from standard laptop and desktop computers.
The Disc License product is a USB flash drive which appears as a CD-ROM device when connected to a host computer. This is a hardware solution which emulates a CD-ROM and is read-only, or write protected, meaning data on the drive cannot be changed, manipulated, deleted, or formatted off the drive. This is one of the best methods to create a USB CD-ROM flash drive.
“Think of a Disc License drive as a blank CD or DVD,” states Greg Morris, President of Nexcopy. “The blank CD-ROM will have the capacity of whatever Gigabyte size the customer orders. Simply point our software to any ISO file and the data will be written with the resulting drive appearing as a CD-ROM.”
Morris continues, “What is so elegant about this solution is being able to re-write an ISO file to the device at any time. In an abstract sense, you could say this is a CD-RW solution, but in the shape of a USB flash drive.”
With the optical drive quickly disappearing, users are seeking alternative solutions to provide data as a CD-ROM device. There are many advantages to CD-ROM discs which have served the technology sector for many years. The auto-run function of CD-ROM is important to many software suppliers who depend on a quick and simple installation process. The CD is a read-only device by definition, so the added benefit of preventing viruses or malware from jumping onto the flash drive is an inherent advantage.
The Nexcopy Disc License CD-ROM USB flash drive has the following features:
- Default state of drive is read-only, also known as write protected
- Use any ISO file to create a CD-ROM USB flash drive
- Supports bootable ISO files
- Device appears as a CD-ROM drive in any host system
- Free data-load software to produce CD-ROM drives
- Re-write a new ISO file to the drive at any time
- Hardware-based solution which cannot be hacked or manipulated through software
- Available in USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 technology ranging from 2GB through 128GB capacities
Stan McCrosky, head of Sales, comments, “I spent over 15 years in the CD and DVD duplication industry and this sector is scrambling to find good alternatives to CDs and DVDs. The issue we see is companies having libraries of ISO files and wanting to convert them to work with flash drives. The Disc License drive solves this problem because there is no conversion necessary. The library of ISO files can immediately be used with our new Disc License product. So far the response has been overwhelming.”
The Disc License USB flash drive is simple to implement. Steps include:
- Connect the USB drive to a Windows computer
- Open the GUI (Graphical User Interface) software, Drive Wizard, to identify drives
- Point the software to the ISO file
- Click burn
Re-writing the drive is equally simple:
- Connect the USB drive to a Windows computer
- Open the GUI (Graphical User Interface) software, Drive Wizard, to identify drives
- Point the software to the ISO file
- Click burn
- Drive Wizard software will overwrite old data with the new ISO file
Nexcopy Disc License flash media is available in USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 technology and ranges in capacity from 2GB through 128GB. Nexcopy offers six body styles for Disc License media with a wide range of body colors available for each style, all available for custom branding. The six body styles include Oxford, a capless swivel style drive; Newport, a classic rectangular shape with cap; Lexington, a classic rectangular style with rounded edges and cap; Augusta, a shorter style drive with large lanyard loop; and Huntington and Geneva, which use aluminum bodies for greater durability and better support laser-etched branding.
The Oxford style swivel drive is the in-stock media Nexcopy carries for same-day printing and shipping. Nexcopy inventories USB 2.0 media in 2GB and 4GB capacities and USB 3.0 media in 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB capacities. The in-stock Oxford media uses a black body with white swivel clip and supports full-color printing through the Nexcopy Logo-EZ USB flash drive printer.
The Drive Wizard software is available for download from the Nexcopy support page. The utility requires a Nexcopy licensed USB flash drive. The Disc License USB write protection technology is not a universal solution for any thumb drive; a Nexcopy drive is required in order to take advantage of the security this technology offers.
