Please click the link below to see the Solid State Disks FLASH2GUI Youtube channel. This offers a demonstration of how the proprietary FLASH2GUI software used alongside the Network FLOPPYFlash drive can offer a a bit for bit image copy of the data allowing backup & restore network capability, alternative drive select options, and also capacity and blocks select features.
The embedded Flash2GUI Image Editor allows image files (.img) to be sent from the SCSIFlash drive to a local onsite PC or server. Allowing the unpacking, editing, and repacking of the imaged file. This file can then be resent to the SCSIFlash drive as new data file.
