Are the duplicators made by NEC/Pioneer/Plextor/Sony/TEAC?
No. Even though those companies supply the reading/writing drivers, the actual duplicator is not created by those companies.Many of the vital parts such as the controllers, chassis, power supply, etc. are created and assembled by the duplicator’s manufacture. • Will two different brands of duplicator perform the same if they are using the same brand and model of drives? The answer is No. Two separate duplicators using the same drives will not perform the same if other components differ. The part that has the most dramatic affect on the duplication quality is the controller and the internal temperature of the duplicator. A controller is like the brain of the duplicator which controls all of the signals and commands going directly to the drives. A good controller not only has a larger capacity memory, but also the type of operation system programmed inside is extremely important.
