Tried first to clone my primary Windows 8 (W8) drive which suffered castastrophic failure during a Clonezilla clone attempt

I use it for back ups and duplicating my boot disk in case of hard drive failure.

SMART failures were increasing and old external USB2 SATA interface did no better than the PC in reading drive contents without failures

easy to use, solid build, simple techlike itgreat for cloning after my 5 drive RAID drive suffered a massive 3-drive failure

The packaging was "uneven" and the failure of the unit to read the first drive I tried left a nasty taste in my mouth.

Give a person a sense of security in case of hard drive failure.

I am cloning to another new Seagate 500 GB ST500DM002 hard drive (same drive which I have done multiple clones to without problem during testing).I had an older 2008 Seagate Barracuda which suffered catastrophic failure and couldn't be cloned

Works exactly as it supposed to

I also feel it was way overpriced as I got one from a different manufacturer that does everything this one does, except erasing, for less than half the

At first I thought that it didn't work as it took

You have to have USB3 slot for this unit,It may be backwards compatible (I DON"T KNOW), Do your own research, or buy an older model
