  • Page 5: Product Overview

    Product Overview The MTS series is an ultra-high speed duplicator and each SATA port is independent. That's why no matter how many targets are running it’ll provide the same performance speed, far beyond PC-based duplicator capabilities. The MTS series device duplicator is specially designed for professional use. The smart Quick Copy mode supports FAT16/32/64, Windows NTFS, Linux ext2/3/4, and Mac HFS/HFS+/HFSX formats which can copy only data contained area that provides increased production efficiency.
