CD DVD Duplicators - Hard Drive or No Hard Drive?

There are a lot of things to consider when purchasing a CD DVD duplicator. How many targets? CD duplicator or DVD duplicator? Automated duplicator or tower duplicator? A lot of things to consider.

One of the most frequently asked questions in regards to CD DVD duplicators is whether to add a hard drive or not.  In most instances, I recommend getting a duplicator with an onboard hard drive.  Most CD DVD duplication problems result from a bad master disc or low quality blank media.  By first transferring the original disc to the duplicators hard drive, you can duplicate discs from a more stable platform which results in less errors.

The hard drive on a CD DVD duplicator act as a storage vault for your CDs and DVDs.  Need to make a few copies for someone but can't seem to find the master disc?  With an onboard hard drive, you'll never have this problem again.  Just select the image you want from the duplicator controller and you're ready to start duplicating discs. 

As I mentioned before, a bad master discs is one of the main cause for errors in CD DVD duplication.  With time, your master disc can get damaged.  With the added hard drive on your CD DVD duplicator, your masters are safe.  No need to worry about your master discs getting damaged.
