I've owned this device for a few years (two) and worked well initially . .I bought a ps4pro and managed it clone the ps4 date directly to a Samsung evo 860 1tb ssd .... subsequently I have tried to clone a few hard drive hdd to ssd without any luck... only get the 2nd drive like flashing red

Worked ok intially

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

Did not work for VMWare drive

i was getting a hard drive failure Hb6 first cloning attempt didn't work I defragmented the old drive. The second time i had a solid red light after 3 hours i installed the new hard drive in the computer and it works fine boots right up every thing seems fine So IDK I am going to try it again on another computer everything can be replaced except twenty years of pictures thanks

works

Good, affordable HDD duplicator, easy to clone / backup a drive.

Clone simply.

I bought one years ago and can't believe I am the first to review. It works flawlessly and I use it whenever I want to clone a drive. Can also boot from it if drive is converted (it seconds) with the free Haslo WinTo USB. Click Tools, and use first option to convert.

Reliable and fast

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

Duplicate Drive Issues

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

Worked great till it didn't work at all

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.

Every time i plug a HDD into this thing it doesnt pick it up, swithch to an SSD and it lights right up.

Doesnt Pickup HDD

feels a little flimsy, but duplicated a 1 TB Sata drive in under an hour.

great features for a low price

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.

Pretty good duplicator, but...

Just purchased this dock. It connects at 10 Gbps USB with my new Mac mini (Late 2018), as shown on "System Summary" ---> "USB". My two drives are WD RED SATA III, 2 GB each. Performance is great and much faster read/write than before. My 3 1/2 inch big, heavy disks could use better mechanical support though.

10 Gbps USB with new Mac mini

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.

Does NOT Duplicate the Hard Drive

I use this as an external HDD holder for 2 12TB. I am consolidating my video collection from various older HDD's. On occasion this involves using the adapter for old Serial HDD's. I have two of these units, one for each laptop and they are reliable. I haven't tried the clone feature yet as I am still coping everything to my new HDD's. Once I have the masters done, then I'll clone them so I'll always have a back up. But my biggest complaint is the transfer speed for a unit that is supposed to be 10GB. Nowhere near it. I get avg 32-45 MB/s on a good day. Most of the time is 5-16 MB/s. It is more like a 2.5/3.0 transfer speed with the supplied short cables. I have a Seagate 4TB & 5TB Backup Plus that gives 145+MB/s. That's because they are using the right cables (marked with Super USB (double SS) 10) . I believe they are type C and micro type B. Startech needs to drastically update the connections in order to obtain the higher transfer speeds.

Realiable

I never would have guess that StarTech would have a dual dock without cloning functionality - but that's what this is. It's a very fast dock but lacking a crucial feature!

Fast dock but missing cloning feature

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.

Don't use with a PC

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

Nice product but solid red LED...

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!

Worked as Desribed

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.

50/50 product

does not come with a usb 3.1 gen 2 cable both, the usb and power cable, are too short otherwise this unit is very easy to setup an use.

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.

Worked as advertised

The StarTech dock/duplicator did not work for me.It would not clone anything, so beware of this device if you are looking for some way to clone a hard drive!

No clone piece of junk!!!

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.

Easy enough to use, manual no troubleshooting

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.
