Rated 5 out of 5 by from 50/50 product This cloner has about a 50 percent success rate. There are much better cloning docks available, but they cost more. I would not purchase this again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy enough to use, manual no troubleshooting I bought this to clone hard drives for a school computer lab. I have cloned almost 40 drives with no problem. Now, all of a sudden, the product won't clone. In the middle of a clone the LEDs went from the flashing amber to Off-Solid Red-Off-Off. I ejected the destination drive, turned off, turned back on and LEDs showed Off-Solid Amber-Off-Solid Amber. I now cannot get the product to clone or perform any other function. Have had product less than one week.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice product but solid red LED... You MUST power on the unit EMPTY. Then insert the source hard drive, then insert the destination hard drive. Lastly push the clone button on the front for 5 to 10 seconds until the front LEDs activate. This exact procedure is not listed/clear in the manual

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Does NOT Duplicate the Hard Drive I bought this last week, and tried to clone a laptop hard drive. The duplication process said everything worked fine, but the disk did NOT get duplicated. It booted up, but some of the programs no longer work. I'm returning it, and writing a review on Amazon. I won't be buying another Startech product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from null I am an IT Tech and have been using this duplicator for many years and it has worked great. The reason for any failure is 99.99999 % is user related. Either the Hard Drive they are trying to clone is defective or the main one is they are trying to clone to a Hard Drive that is smaller than the original one (ie: 750 gb to 500 gb). The issue of programs not working after a clone is one issue I have never come across. I also have cloned Sata to SSD and using the USB interface to clone M.2 to SSD using cloning software. Before you use this product or any other device, understand the working of the device first. Do your research first.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Pretty good duplicator, but... Used many times over the last year or so. When it works it's fast and great. Sometimes though, when cloning the last LED lights solid. No clue as to why it can't start duplication... I can try another and it works fine. The source HDD boots and runs fine in host computer. Irksome.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Product I have three laptops. I use this to clone the hard drives about once a month. I then put the newly cloned drive in till the next cloning then switch again. I recently got a bad virus on one laptop that prevented boot up. Put in the clone (lost a couple weeks data-my fault) and was up again. Cloned over the bad disk and had 2 good again. This works great if it is easy to remove the hard drive from the laptop. However I have a 10 inch mini that requires major surgery to get the disk out. I have not figured out how to clone when you can't get the disk out of the laptop and use the provided cable. Instructions lacking in this area.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worked as advertised We are a small IT tech shop and in the past we've utilized cloning software with a SATA adapter to clone Windows OS. But, we found ourselves stuck when trying to clone server OS, it just wouldn't work. So we purchased this unit after talking to the people here and was pleasantly surprised when after doing a Windows 8 clone we didn't have to go in and initialize the MBR to get it to work. It booted right up. We did the Windows 2012 R2 Essential clone and worked as advertised. We are very happy that we made this purchase and will continue to use this instead.of the cloning software.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worked as Desribed The duplicator worked exactly as advertised. We have duplicated over 100 drives with this device and have not had any issues. Great value and great product overall!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from great features for a low price feels a little flimsy, but duplicated a 1 TB Sata drive in under an hour.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Don't use with a PC As a stand alone copier / eraser it works fine, but it does not work properly when connected via USB 3.0. The drive(s) randomly disconnect and reconnect, whether they are being used or not. Very annoying if you're trying to move or copy files. You are risking your files if you use the move function.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from poor quality I have bought too for Our IT department The one I use as stopped working and is just like the first comment it will no longer clone drives. I have only cloned around 20 drives I would not recommend this product. Before it stopped cloning it was great.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Duplicate Drive Issues I purchased this device about 1 week ago. I tried to use it to duplicate a 240 Gb ssd drive that is full. This unit does duplicate the source drive perfectly. The target drive has 1 Tb of space. When I installed the target drive it showed that the target only had 250 Gb and was full. Although it did show that there was more space on the drive which was not being accessed. So, I was back to the same problem. . I believe this docking drive has a lot of potential, but I don't understand what's going on. Any suggestions would be appreciated

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worked great till it didn't work at all We have used this to duplicate a few hard drives. It did a couple of drives without a hitch, but now only gives us the solid red light on the front of the unit

Rated 5 out of 5 by from null This little guy has exceeded our expectations. I initially pitched the idea of purchasing this and several SSDs for a proof of concept project for quick, in place upgrades for some of our older workstations to improve performance, etc. without having to purchase a brand new machine. This worked so well at cloning the old HDDs to the newly purchased SSDs that I was then given the green light to purchase one of these for each member of our team. It's secure erase functionality also was recently beneficial when we were doing our yearly spring cleaning and needed to run through quite a few hard drives before disposal. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for something that clones, erases, and will just simply act as a dock when needed as well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Did not work for VMWare drive I copied over a VMWare drive from an older Sata drive to a new SSD drive. It looks like the data and partitions came over, but it would not boot the new drive. VMWare did come up, but it would show no storage and the 2 VM servers I had loaded, looked like they were not being read. So I started over from scratch and that worked fine. But it took a couple of hours to reload by hand. So far, a waste of money. Hopefully it works on Windows
