USB and Flash Drive Duplication - When Size Matters
Memory size marked on the USB or SD cards by the manufacturer is not always precise. After a closer inspection, a card marked as 16 GB for example may offer only 15.9 GB of storage space. There are alsocases when the card will offer more memory than it is stated by the manufacturer. The difference between the actual and labeled memory size varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. Such variations\between the actual and marked storage is due to manufacturing quality. Interestingly, for most end users, this variance is not an issue. In fact, it has very little impact on using the USB or other flash drives for storage of the information. Problems arise when users attempt to duplicate USB or Flash drives..more
