This dock was sturdy and well built, and it worked well
Very high quality build, easy to hook up, comes with everything needed

It has a good built function and configuration menu for stand alone and USB connected operationIt is able to do copies of a variety of drives with all the common interfaces used in recent years (SATA, IDE 40 – 44 pin)It will run in stand alone mode and perform a verbatim copy of a drive (the target has to be the same size or bigger)It will work as a clone dock when connected to a PC for copy or external drive connectivity

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
this time quickly got 4 RED LED’s .. and everything works great..

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

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

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.

I know you can pay a lot more for drive duplicators, and this was a great low price that did both SATA and
Great purchase, great price, silent, flashing percent done indicator
What a waste of money buying for at 1/2 the price if it doesnt work very well.
I could not believe the low price, and it worked perfect

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

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.

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.

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 …
Was a little concerned that the 4 RED LED’s never came on while the clone button was pressed

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

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.
It must have had some issue with the source drive (Seagate 3TB) because I tried three different target drives and all failed.
