Reviews around tech support (4.49 of 5)

  • Kind of an 'uh duh,' but your own hard disk(s) need to be provided to make these claims true.
  • I had to call tech support to verify what the LEDs were supposed to be doing because the instructions seem to be saying something different
  • The print out is of a tech support email that they apparently had with a customer who tried to duplicate disks when the USB cable was plugged in (something the greater instructions tell you not to do
  • The tech support folks were all very nice but being "nice" does not resolve the fact that apparently this unit does not do the task in claims it can do for the larger size hard drives IDE

Reviews around usb (4.23 of 5)

  • Used on USB 2.0 it is slow however, I believe more modern USB 3.0 based systems will work much faster with this.

Reviews around feature (4.07 of 5)

  • 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
  • Note that this one does NOT have the secure delete feature
  • So, you can use it to backup files from your computer onto another HD -- which is a great feature
  • I know that would be near impossible to implement, but would be an excellent feature with todays SSDs to be able to copy from large to small HDDs
  • After the first clone of an encrypted hard drive, the cloning feature stopped worked right

Reviews around device (4.01 of 5)

  • what a wonderful device this is....worked like a charm...no errors...just follow the instructions...and it was superb...definitely a great buy
  • This device works great, but I did find one snag that most people will not run into, but I sure did
  • but there exist less costly devices with integrated wright blockers so even for this use its not well suited
  • Would have given it 5 stars but the SATA connectors on the sides make the device seem a little fragile
  • This device is great if you are constantly duplicating drives and don't want to tie up a computer

  • You can find many other cloners and I am sure for a cheaper price, but the experience I have had with ST, i bought this one.- Good quality -- Nice and heavy for what looks to be

Reviews around thing (3.95 of 5)

  • Although I haven't yet done it, apparently this thing can copy non-like drives too - SATA to IDE, vice-versa, and includes two mini laptop drive adapters, so you can copy laptop drives to or from any other type also.
  • Works well with new and old drives also, handy thing to keep around for back ups.
  • This thing is awesome, I used it to clone a new drive for my wife's notebook, perfect...
  • If you clone drives even SLIGHTLY regularly this thing is worth its weight in gold.
  • This thing just doesn't work past the first try.

Reviews around space (3.75 of 5)

  • Kind of an 'uh duh,' but your own hard disk(s) need to be provided to make these claims true.
  • All I then had to do was use Partition Magic to reclaim the space
  • This left me with about 30GB of free space on the C drive for updates and new programs.
  • The only drawback I've seen is that the extra space on the destination drive is now unallocated, and broken up into two sections, a 1.1tb section and a 700gb section
  • Just beware, cloning to a larger drive will, of course, leave unused space for which one will need a partition manager to reclaim the space on the drive

Reviews around dock (3.61 of 5)

  • I am very disappointed because I bought this to save time to do cloning instead of using a cloning program in my PC, but at this point, this dock is useless and too late to return for refund
  • This Dock is easy to use, and the cloning process is very quick!
  • The dock died after two days in the middle of a disk initialisation.
  • I would have preferred the device used SATA cables and an IDE-SATA power adapter instead of the awkward SATA docks that dangle off the sides
  • But either way, this dock was super fast and drives were always detected in the OS and bootable tools we used

  • This duplicator works as advertised I cloned my old and slow mechanical hard drive to a new solid state hard drive and now have speed blazing speed!
  • This hard drive duplicator can also be used to couple an external hard drive to your PC, but it really shines as a stand-alone duplicator without any special setup procedures
  • They do fit very tightly and you have to be careful about disconnecting from the hard drives and the duplicator
  • I have purchased cheaper duplicators but there is a difference.

Reviews around clone (3.34 of 5)

  • Four hours or so later I had a perfect clone of the old drive, complete with a Steam library that was perfectly happy in its new home.
  • If the SATA connector is old, oxidized, or connection loose, then this device will have a problem cloning it
  • I purchased this in addition to a new hard drive to clone my main hard drive in my desktop because I was receiving SMART warnings that the hard drive might fail soon.
  • Surprisingly fast clone speed (150GB) and 200GB clones done
  • A very well made drive bay that has the bonus of making fast "clones" of both 3.5" and 2.5" notebook SATA drives.

Reviews around instruction (2.71 of 5)

  • This duplicator works good however the inclosed instructions are a little vague.
  • Like the re-cycling of “power’ .. to shift modes from dock to clone… and the wait time to mount a drive.. and what to expect from the LED’s at each step
  • Excellent product but taking away one star for bad instructions.
  • NO red LED’s appeared … got tired.. released the button.. and the amber (running back and forth) started …

Reviews around sector (2.37 of 5)

  • If the drive was in good operation Acronis worked fine, for drives with lots of bad sectors ShadowProtect seems to do a better job
  • I started doing some testing on the HDD or SSD thinking there was a bad sector or some kind of damage but all the scans and tests came up negative
  • Kind of an 'uh duh,' but your own hard disk(s) need to be provided to make these claims true.
  • Worked ok as a docking station, just make sure you do a scandisk before putting it in the device, it can't handle bad sectors.
  • Cloned a HDD with bad sectors into a new HDD in no time

Reviews around power (1.54 of 5)

  • I wouldn't recommend hot swapping the drives, it loses power and shuts down and then powers up again.
  • Do not loose the power supply its a real pain to replace it.
  • :To use duplicator function both drives must be EXACTLY equal or it failsNot easy to get out of duplicator mode except by powering off and back onNo error recovery, if it fails, you must power cyclemust power cycle to do multiple image copies of a drive, cant simply reset and hit start
  • Aleratec sells this under their brand also, but they do not include the nice short IDE & power cables
  • Item was DOA, Appears to be defective power adapter, no 12 vdc

  • Male to Female 20 inch Power and Data Extension Cable -- just purchased 2 of these from Amazon and a 1 TB hard drive

Reviews around target (1.33 of 5)

  • The company states "Providing quick, yet complete hard drive cloning functionality, this universal dock can operate as a standalone HDD duplicator with no connection to a host computer, delivering an exact 1 to 1 clone of the target hard drive including partition and boot sector information, the Host Protected Area (HPA) as well as user data
  • Make sure when copying one hard drive to another that the target hard drive is as big or bigger than the original
  • It seems to have worked (the target drives all boot and appear to function perfectly) but this is by no means a surefire strategy, since technically the OS can use any part of the disk and you could end up with an incomplete target.
