Description
Product Description
Simplify hard drive cloning, data migration, and storage management with the StarTech Dual-Bay HDD/SSD Duplicator and Docking Station. Designed for IT professionals, computer technicians, and technology enthusiasts, this versatile device allows you to clone compatible SATA hard drives and solid-state drives without connecting to a computer.
The standalone cloning function creates a sector-by-sector copy of an existing drive, including partitions, boot sector information, and empty sectors. With cloning speeds of up to 28 GB per minute under suitable conditions, this device offers an efficient way to upgrade storage, duplicate drives, and create copies for compatible data management workflows.
Featuring two drive bays, the docking station accommodates both 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch SATA HDDs and SSDs. The target drive must have a capacity equal to or greater than the source drive.
Beyond standalone cloning, this device functions as an external drive docking station when connected to a compatible computer through USB 3.2 Gen 2. Supporting transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbps, it provides convenient access to installed drives for backing up files, transferring data, and managing storage.
The dock supports SATA III interfaces with transfer rates of up to 6 Gbps, along with UASP and TRIM support. Its tool-free, trayless design makes installing and removing drives straightforward, while the top-loading bays feature drive doors and eject buttons for convenient handling.
Integrated LED indicators display power, operating mode, drive status, and cloning progress, helping you monitor the device during operation.
Whether you're migrating data, upgrading computer storage, or managing multiple drives in a professional environment, this StarTech duplicator provides a practical solution for drive cloning and storage access.
