A Flexible PC-Based SD Duplication Platform for General Production Workflows
The SD160PC is a PC-based duplicator designed for teams that require visibility, configurability, and reliability without the heavier validation focus of higher-tier platforms. It provides a balanced combination of control, performance, and simplicity for organizations that use SD media as part of regular operations.
Operating through a Windows workstation with Nexcopy software, the SD160PC gives operators access to job configuration, progress monitoring, and multiple copy methods while remaining approachable for everyday production use.
The system is commonly deployed in environments where SD cards must be prepared consistently and efficiently, but where advanced inspection, traceability, or compliance workflows are not primary requirements.




When the SD160PC Is the Right Choice
The SD160PC is selected when organizations need more structure and visibility than standalone duplicators provide, but do not require the advanced validation and reporting features of higher-tier PC-based systems.
It is commonly used by teams preparing SD media for distribution, staging devices for deployment, or managing repeatable duplication tasks as part of day-to-day operations.
Training departments, IT teams, product teams, and operational groups often rely on the SD160PC because it supports consistent production workflows without introducing unnecessary complexity.
Why the SD160PC Uses a PC-Based Architecture
The SD160PC operates through a PC-connected workflow to provide operators with visibility and control during production. By running through a Windows workstation, jobs can be configured, monitored, and managed using Nexcopy software rather than relying on blind push-button execution.
This architecture supports practical production features such as job monitoring, multiple copy methods, image-based workflows, and verification options that are not available on basic standalone duplicators.
The PC-based approach also allows the system to integrate more easily into existing workstation-based environments where operators already manage other production tools.
Production Duplication Without Altering Card Behavior
The SD160PC performs duplication at the file system and device level without modifying SD card behavior. Data is written accurately and verified, while cards remain standard, fully functional SD devices after preparation.
This approach supports workflows where media must remain writable, reusable, and broadly compatible after deployment while still providing confidence that prepared cards match the intended source.
Copy Methods and Production Workflows
The SD160PC supports six copy methods, giving teams flexibility in how content is sourced and written rather than forcing every job into a single duplication model.
Six Copy Methods Supported
- File Copy – copy files and folders only
- Full Device Copy – bit-for-bit duplication
- Smart Device Copy – intelligent copy excluding empty sectors
- IMG Copy – write from pre-built image file
- Copy Add – append files to existing content
- Unique Data Streaming – individualized data per device
Unique Data Streaming for Individualized SD Content
Unique Data Streaming allows different data to be written to each SD card during a single job. This is commonly used for serial numbers, license files, certificates, identifiers, configuration files, or device-specific assets.
The feature supports practical production workflows where individualized data must be applied efficiently without introducing manual handling for each device.

Support for SD Card Identification and CID Workflows
Organizations working with SD card duplication and identification may want to confirm how CID (Card Identification) values are handled before deployment. Nexcopy can clarify which systems support reading CID values from standard SD cards, when CID programming is possible, and how these capabilities fit into inspection, tracking, or validation workflows.
If your use case involves SD card identification, verification, or media qualification, Nexcopy can help determine the appropriate platform and operating model.
