Chip Selection & Capacity Planning

Chip Selection & Capacity Planning

Your customers see the housing — but the chip grade determines data safety and lifespan. CGN selects the right chip for your content volume, use case and budget. We use brand-new Grade A flash by default and never accept recycled or downgraded chips.

  • Genuine Grade A chips · no recycled or downgraded flash
  • Capacities from 128MB to 64GB
  • USB 2.0 / 3.0 / USB-C · dual-connector option
  • Capacity planning advice · headroom reserved

CGN capabilities:Genuine Grade A chips · 128MB–64GB full range · USB 2.0/3.0/USB-C · dual-connector option

Step 02 · The Key Differentiator

Custom Housing Design

Shell Customization

CGN offers 5 housing families, each with free choice of materials, finishes and printing/engraving techniques — design freedom far beyond "plastic shell + logo".

  • Card type — credit-card size · full-color UV print · ultra-slim
  • Wood type — walnut/maple/bamboo · laser engraving · warm and natural
  • Metal type — aluminum/zinc alloy · anodized · premium feel
  • Acrylic type — transparent shell · LED glow · high-tech look
  • Custom shapes — guitar/piano/your logo · PVC tooling · total freedom

Audio & Content Preloading

Content Preloading

Far more than "copying files" — CGN's preloading service includes format compatibility verification, file-structure optimization, autoplay configuration and content-integrity checks.

  • Audio: MP3 / FLAC / WAV / AAC / ALAC
  • Video: MP4 / MOV / MKV
  • Digital extras: PDF lyric booklets · HD artwork · exclusive videos
  • Autoplay setup: your custom interface pops up on plug-in
  • High-speed bulk duplication + bit-level verification · guaranteed identical

Key difference:Not simple file copying · but format verification + autoplay setup + integrity checks

Assembly, Testing & Write Protection

Assembly & Write Protection

Chips are fitted into housings, every drive is function-tested, and write protection locks the content against accidental deletion.

Hardware write protection

Most reliable · cannot be cracked in software · ideal for one-time content distribution

Software write protection

Reliable · removable by CGN · right for content that needs future updates

  • Function test: device detection · capacity display · file integrity
  • Write-protection check: a test write is attempted · and must be rejected
  • Read-only status verified unit by unit
