If you are going to make long “duplication runs” of the same message (or music recording), then having a hard drive on your CD duplicator will allow you to store the message on the hard drive, and produce copies faster than CD to CD duplication.
However, if you are primarily making smaller “duplication runs” (up to 6 in a row) or making your CD messages available immediately after every service (Take-Along-CDs™), then CD to CD duplication is easier (because you don’t have to load your master recording onto your hard drive), faster (because loading the hard drive takes about 5 minutes at the start of your duplication run), and will save you a few dollars on equipment.
My advice is to invest in a CD duplicator with a hard drive if at all possible. In long “duplication runs” it will save you time and reduce wear of your master CDs.
In smaller “duplication runs” you don’t have to use the hard drive. You’ll still be able to make the faster CD to CD copies and have all the versatility of hard drive to CD duplication.
