Key connection and drive details

Clone drives without a host PC

Place the source and destination drives in the dock, then start the copy with the push-button controls. The duplicator creates a sector-by-sector clone, including partitions and boot sector information.

This makes it useful for drive upgrades, repeatable setup tasks and data recovery work. One copy can run at a time.

Dock two drives for computer access

When connected to a desktop or laptop by USB or eSATA, the dock lets you access and swap drives. Both bays support 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch SATA hard drives and SSDs.
