Review: Great tool for IT Pro - I've had this a few years now, use it occasionally as spinning hard drives aren't used as much any more. Good tool to erase a disk you're getting rid of (this is a basic erase, will deter most thieves, but there are more secure methods.) Also work with SATA SSD but make sure you understand SSD loss of performance issues before copying them with this device.
Review: Standalone disk copier saved my PC first time! There are a few quirks - With a hard drive failing on a Windows 7 PC, scheduled backups had not completed for over a month and I hadn't noticed. SMART failures were increasing and old external USB2 SATA interface did no better than the PC in reading drive contents without failures. So I took a chance and got this StarTech standalone SATA drive copier and it worked like a charm! Took a 160GB drive Windows 7 image to a 500GB drive in about 75 minutes. Saved many hours of time fussing with restoring from old backups and recreating updates of user files! Here are my summary pros & cons: + core duplicator function works well if not very fast as a drive copier + erase function is a nice, relatively quick function, 1 pass only + works very well to allow one to upgrade from a small old SATA drive to a newer larger capacity SATA drive + verified function up to 3TB as target drive + % complete LEDs work well to indicate progress in disk copying or erasure Cons & quirks: - the copy function is not very fast. A 2TB drive took overnight, but the above 160GB clone took about 75 minutes - USB3 performance not up to other USB3 StarTech SATA drive adapters, but is 50-75% better than USB2 - disk erase is only a single pass erase, so does not suffice for meeting HITECH/HIPAA or other legal requirements for deleting data - entire interface MUST have a power reset to switch from duplicator to SATA to USB3 interface (found in user forum not in manual) - the USB chipset does not pass SMART commands through, so cannot use to validate either drive SMART status - wish this had the eSATA interface which usually can pass through SMART queries Bottom line: if you need a small number of hard drives cloned, it works well on Windows (NTFS, FAT32) and Linux (ext2, ext3, ext4) partitions. [minor updates to review 2016-01-21, fine unit, especially for the current price MS]

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Picture has no individual power or cloning buttons like the USB 2.0 unit. How do you control cloning and/or individual HD access as well as HD power?**
A: The StarTech USB 3 based hard drive duplicator has a rocker type power button on the back of the case, like the power button on the power supply of a desktop PC.  Flip one way, its off, flip the other way, it's on.  The lights on the front come on, when power is turned on.  On the front of the case, at the lower right is a Clone button.  It is small, so that users won't accidentally press it.  To start cloning of hard drives, two drives must be inserted in the unit, and the user must press and hold down the Clone button for about 3-4 seconds for cloning to start.  There is a similar sized (but recessed) Erase button on the back of the case.  When it is pressed and held for 3-4 second, erasing will begin on any hard drive that is inserted in the duplicator.  Erasing will occur for either slot.  The button is recessed, so that accidental erasing will not occur.  Hard drive access for file reading or writing can be done by plugging a USB 3 cable (provided) into the back of the case in the USB 3 port, and also to a desktop or notebook PC.  The front lights will become activity lights for the individual hard drives inserted into the duplicator unit.  Access to the hard drives is by the normal Windows Explorer, or other software on a PC that the duplicator is connected to.  This way, after cloning, a hard drive may be updated by manual or automatic means from the hard drive in a PC, without installing it physically into the PC.  I only use my cloned drives as emergency backup hard drives, in case of hard drive failures or in the event of file corruption, and keep all of my data backed up, manually and automatically on portable drives, connected to the same PC, and stored both on site, and off site.

**Q: Anyone tried cloning a win8 Drive. My old startech duplicator won't do it.**
A: I have been successful in doing a clone of windows 8-8.1. I first downloaded the apk from M.S. on the source drive. There's complete instructions on how to do this on their website  (as of a yr ago*). 
MS has a clone type install for 7(All) and 8-8.1 All versions. I don't know about Win10... As long as you have a M.B with the built-in key, I have been able to get a "free OS" on a new hard drive. I hope this helps someone else out there- Questions? Ask pls...

**Q: Is this unit backward compatable with USB 2.0?**
A: Yes it is BUT remember that usb 2.0 only transfers at at top speed of 480 Mbps. So even tho this unit has a USB 3.0 connector capable of tranfering data at a max of 5 Gbps,  if it then gets connected to a USB 2.0 connector then it will only transfer data at the USB 2.0 connector speed of 480 Mbps speed. Yes, It IS backward compatable but at the much lower & much slower 480 Mbps speed !

**Q: Does it do the dod erase?**
A: That would be awesome, but no.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Unit.
*by H***1 on October 8, 2014*

I have several hard drives that I use periodically but don't have space inside of my desktop, I don't use all of them at every minute so being able to swap them in and out when needed is great. Just recently i wanted to transfer my work computer from a HDD over to a SSD to make it a little faster and thought that built in duplicating feature would make things simple. I thought I would be able to put the two drives start the clone and be done in an hour. This was not the case for me. I bought an Intel 530 series 240gb SSD, placed it in the destination slot (HDD 2), put my work HDD in the source slot (HDD 1), pressed and held the clone button until the all 4 LEDs turned orange but shortly after the #4 LED blinked red which meant the cloning process has a problem and won't start. Tried it several times and everytime came up with the same error. I first thought this may be due to the fact that my work drive was encrypted so i started looking for software to duplicate an encrypted HDD and found clonezilla. Well the docking feature did not show up on clonezilla. Then I stared to look at the HDDs again Since the drive copies everything over you need a target drive equal or larger than the source. My mistake since I didn't realize my work drive was 250gb I thought it was 200gb. I thought that this would copy everything it needed and nothing more but not the case it copies everything. Strike this up to operator error. I moved some things around from my laptop collection and pulled a very lightly used Crucial M4 256gb drive to install it on. I made it one partition and reformatted it. I tried the process again this time it started duplicating the drives and was working for about 30 minutes when it got to the 75% mark and then the #4 led lit red meaning the cloning failed. I tried it again one more time by wiping the M4 SSD with the docks erase feature. Same results. 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. Fast forward to several hours later and much frustration I was able to complete the cloning of my HDD to SSD with Clonezilla, USB stick, & DVD HDD Caddy. I was not able to use the dock for either purpose since the dock wasn't recognized by clonezilla which is why I used the DVD HDD caddy. The included instructions (which are the same as on the mfg site) are very vague so its of very little help. They just explain the operation of the unit and what the LED indicators mean. They don't give any explanation of what would cause the errors, they just expect you to know. I still plan on keeping this for the docking ability of 3.5" and 2.5" HDDs. Maybe some day in the future i'll get a use out of the duplicating feature. 3/27/16 I had another chance to use this to clone my new work computer from a 128gb to 256gb ssd. This time the unit worked perfectly, was able to duplicate the drive over in about 20 minutes. Windows activation had to be redone because of the change in hardware but easily done.
