  Im trying to line up favors for my wedding for the guests, and being the technodweeb that i am, it was decided personalized USB flash drives with photos on them would suffice. If something like this were cheaper (say less than $150) it would be cost effective for me. But seeing that preloading files costs only $1 per drive from promotional companies, $8K is a bit excessive for something i'd only use twice.
  I could even save the $150 and just preload them myself, just need a couple hubs and lots of free time...

  I can't at all fathom what the extra cost for encryption would get you. It's copying data. If you want that data encrypted, why not just encrypt it before copying it?
  
  Just a superfluous feature to get naive IT departments to waste money, I guess.
  
  @Earthworm: Maybe their 21 port duplicator is more within your frugal budget. At a mere $4999, they're practically giving them away.

  hmnn.. it would have been exciting for me if it was a 60 piece usb flash drive, raid formatted so you will be able to see one ultra-fast drive in your pc.. :P
  60 x buslink 64 gb each = 3.84 Tera ultra-fast drive.. sweet eh.. hahaha!

  'fast ethernet' is a real term, and probably doesn't deserve 'mocking quotes'.
  
  fast ethernet refers to the 100BaseT standard (100Mbps ethernet).
  
  10BaseT: "Ethernet" 100BaseT: "Fast Ethernet" 1000BaseT: "Gigabit Ethernet"

  You can easily build one of these for less then 300 bucks to gain 60 ports. Encryption software out there can be found for free (and stronger at that). It might not be as fast, but unless you mass produce your own USB drives, this isn't for you, and you likely have the equivalent built into the manufacturing line anyway.
  
  this thing, however, just kinda seems like a freak of nature, something you would find in an abandoned laboratory 20 years from now... after the zombie plague, of course.
