The NVS1501 allows a user to copy a memory card to both the NVS1501 hard

drive and to an USB external hard drive at the same time, making two copies of

data in a single operation. The NVS1501 provides “Multi-copy” and “Sync”

functions to make backup more reliable. Users can also choose to copy from

an external USB device (USB HDD / USB Card Reader) to the NVS1501 internal

hard drive.

Reference

● The “MCopy/Sync” is possible only when the capacity of the USB external

hard drive is more than 128GB.
● The wall power adapter should be connected to both the NVS1501 and the

USB external hard drive. The USB power supplied by the NVS1501 may not be

enough to run an external USB hard drive.

2. When the USB drive capacity is less than 128GB

If the drive capacity is less than 128GB,

this capacity will be detected and only the

Copy menu option will be displayed.

The NVS1501 can copy data from an external

USB hard drive or from a USB card reader to

the internal hard drive.

For details, see chapter 11.

3. When the USB drive capacity is more than 128GB

If the drive capacity is more than 128GB,

a user can choose between “Copy from USB

device” or “Multi-copy/Sync” to a USB device.

For details on copy, see chapter 11.

For details on “MCopy/Sync”, see

chapters 14 and 15.
