Cloning Station for 2.5", 3.5" SATA HDDs + SATA III
6 Gbit/s & UASP Support
4.3 2bay docking function
The IB-123CL-U3 allows you to run 2 different HDDs regardless their brands, models, or capacities
via one USB connection. Just connect the IB-123CL-U3 to the computer and the HDDs will be
detected as independent drives (Blue LED for each hard drive HDD-A- and HDD-B will glow in the
HDD-LED-bar). Thanks the hot-plug supporting you can exchange the HDDs by running system.
4.4 HDD cloning-function (only works when the IB-123CL-U3 is NOT connected to a PC via
USB cable!)
-
Before start the cloning process, please remove the USB cable from the device.
-
Insert the source drive into slot A (source) and the target drive to slot B (target).
-
Power on the device, press and hold the clone (copy) button until the four green progress-LEDs
start blink, release the button and press again the clone (copy) button until the progress-LED of 25% blink.
-
Now, cloning from slot A (source) to slot B (target) is in progress and the four green progress-LEDs
will blink from 25% to 100%.
-
When the status indicator reaches 100% and stops blinking, your cloning process is completed.
Press power button to turn off the power then remove the HDDs.
4.5 Advices to the cloning-function
The clone function creates an identical copy of your hard drive – no need to connect to any computer.
You can copy a bootable system disk without additional software or professional skills.
-
Since the cloning process copies every single byte of the source HDD the process may take
several hours depending on the HDD capacity.
-
After the cloning process is completed, in some cases the computer may not be able to identify
both drives since they are assigned to the same drive letter. To separate the drives, you must
assign one drive to a new drive letter under "disk management" (Windows).
-
If only one drive is plugged into HDD-A (source), there will be no action when you press the
start button.
-
The target HDD (HDD-B) must be of the same size or bigger than the source HDD (HDD-A).
-
You may create a new volume with the remaining space on the target HDD after cloning.
