Refurbished devices restored in 13 minutes instead of 30 minutes - with zero batch failures

Used devices lose more than 1% of their value each week they remain unprocessed, making speed critical to protecting revenue. Refurbishment and ITAD facilities depend on fast erasure, reimaging, testing and certification to get devices back to market quickly. Throughput is often held back by two issues: slow restore cycles from USB hubs that cannot sustain high-speed transfer across multiple devices, and unreliable batches that force failed devices to be re-queued, adding costly technician handling time.

A used-device wholesaler replaced third-party hubs with Cambrionix ThunderSync units, gaining guaranteed high-speed data transfer of at least 1 Gbps and up to 5 Gbps per port - up to seven times faster than traditional USB hubs. Thunderbolt technology prevents the dropouts caused by USB endpoint limits, while intelligent charging delivers up to 60W per port without overcharging devices prepared for resale.

For Apple Mac processing, pairing Blancco Eraser for Apple Devices with ThunderSync5-C16 enabled 16 Macs to be erased, restored and reimaged simultaneously in under 20 minutes. As volumes grow, hubs can be daisy-chained to process up to 96 devices in parallel.
