Doesn't seem to get a bit-for-bit copy of the original disk

I work for a company that makes custom hardware. We have a strict on-disk signature check at boot time that checks the MBR etc. If even one bit is changed, the disk won't work for us. This device does not create a bit-for-bit copy of the source media. We cannot use them to load our platform. This may or may not affect people who typically use Windows or Linux. If you're looking for something to make a bit-for-bit copy of the original disc, this doesn't work, at least not with the device I got from Revain. Too bad because it seems to copy a 120GB SSD to 5 SSDs in about 15 minutes. Would help a ton.

Pros
  • Amazing
Cons
  • Some errors
