    I. Introduction This duplicator system is designed and developed based on the FPGA from the world famous semiconductor company XILINX. Every processing channel is parallel to each other with its own control unit, therefore the duplicator will not sacrifice speed for the increasing number of targets loaded - always remain the same and fast copy speed.

    2. Duplicator Introduction The following picture shows the 1-24 HDD Duplicator as an example. The source HDD port is at the upper left corner for master disk, and the rest are the ports for target disks. It is the same for all other duplicators with various number of ports. The appearance of the duplicator may be changed without notice.
