StarTech - SATDOCK22R - USB to SATA Standalone Hard Drive Duplicator Dock
The SATDOCK22R Dual Drive SATA Hard Drive Duplicator functions as both a convenient hard drive cloning/imaging solution as well as an external SATA hard drive (SATA, SATA II, and SATA III) docking station for 2.5in or 3.5in SATA hard drives (HDD) or solid state drives (SSD).
"...you can use these new hard drive duplicators to save you time, money, resources and makes you more productive and efficient. And you can do all of it without installing a single drive or software." â?" BayReviews.com
Providing quick yet complete hard drive cloning functionality, the SATDOCK22R can operate as a standalone HDD duplicator with no connection to a host computer, delivering an exact 1 to 1 clone of the source hard drive to a destination hard drive that is of equal or greater size, including partition and boot sector information as well as user data at a copy rate of 72 MB/sec.
Functioning as a SATA docking station, the SATDOCK22R can be connected to a computer through USB with support for simple plug-and-play installation, allowing users to access hard drive contents without having to open the computer case for conventional drive installation.
A versatile storage and hard drive cloning utility, the hard drive duplicator/external HDD docking station features a small form factor design that makes it a suitable addition to desktop and laptop operating environments. Extend the value of this hard drive docking station, using a SATA to IDE hard drive adapter (SAT2IDEADP), which enables you to use any 2.5 or 3.5in IDE hard drive in a SATA hard drive dock slot.
