Hello everyone, it’s been a while since I reviewed or wrote an article for you guys, but I’ve been asked to introduce the future of easy LAN connection – Bravura Easy Computer Sync™.
This product allows you to transfer files directly from one PC to another using USB specification, in other words, you can now easily and quickly sync the files of 2 PCs.
The kit contains a specially designed USB cable that allows direct connection between 2 PCs made by Bravura, simple to use, fast and best of all, it is so easy!
When this cable was connected, my Windows 7 directly installed the driver without a glitch, as on the cable, it states: “for Vista” tells us that it will work for the “beloved” Vista (not!).
With the lightweight software (installation just 8.62MB) quickly installed, it guided me straight to the synchronization settings page in almost in a heartbeat.
The software instantly listed the common locations that most users use on their computer, but there is still an “Add Folder” option for advanced users to transfer files not just from that location!
This is a very simple tool for many netbook users, I do have some features I’d like to see such as a background service which will transfer the files automatically without the prompts and have a feature that lets the CD-ROM (DVD…etc) appear to the subcomputer as a typical USB CD-ROM so that you could use it to install operating systems without the hassle of getting a pricey CD-ROM enclosure or figuring out how to install them from a bigger flash drive. I’d also like to see the possibility of detecting the device as a simply USB Removable disk so I can drag and drop the files from Windows Explorer.
All in all a pretty good product. Recommended!
My rating for the product: 7/10
Pros:
• Fast USB transfer speed (appears to be Full USB 2.0)
• Easy to use
• Light HDD space requirement
Cons:
• No Windows Explorer drag and drop
• No support for emulating the CD-ROM as a typical USB CD-ROM
Manufacturer: Bravura Software.

@Morris: Good work!
Some questions,
Will the size of files affect the speed? (ie: 1 GB of small files took longer than bigger files, etc).
On the product page said that it’s compatible with XP & Vista (of course 7
). Any workaround for Linux? Other option maybe? This thing is cool and I believe it’s a must have for mobile users.
And… how do you calculate your rating?
Can’t wait your video with that stuff

@Ferry,
I don’t suppose linux is supported, as there is no software for it.
I transferred 6.95 GB under 10 minutes, it translates to about 12MB/s, slightly faster than through 100MB/s LAN which usually hover around 7.5MB/s
individual files copied pretty quickly too.

Yeah I’m to blame there as I want all the videos to have the same Acer Guy intro and ending shot (I work in marketing remember?) so that we can brand this style and I can post them up on the Acer Guy YouTube page. Can’t convert WMV files yet so we’re a little behind on post-production…
