Do not confuse the source and destination

Since there are no instructions for cloning a disk when it is connected to a computer, it is better offline. The instruction manual is very small and doesn't help at all to clone on a computer, no software, no instructions, so really frustrating. When I connect drives to both the source and destination, the computer recognizes both drives as external and behaves like a standard external drive. Since it was made for disc copying, I was hoping there would be either dedicated software or even access to third-party paid or free software, but nothing. When you copy a hard drive with an operating system, there are many hidden files, so you have to get everything, so I plugged it in, I wasn't impressed. Offline cloning didn't start well, I'm not sure what happened on the first try. I followed the instructions and kept pressing the button until the bottom half flashed, then I pressed the button again and the copy process started, the destination disk became the same as the original name, but in the end both disks were destroyed after the clone finished, I ran this as a test and I was very worried that it would destroy the source. I created new files in source, named them source and ran the clone again and it worked and both source and target had the same files. Then I ran it again with an OS that was both an SSD and the process was very fast Source and destination had all the files. So in the end everything worked out with the offline clone but the first test was terrible that both disks got erased.

Pros
  • I hold my fists
Cons
  • The possibility of updating
