Note that the manufacturer's instructions are unclear on correct procedure here.
Do this while the source and target lights are still flashing! If you wait 'till they stop, the cloning process will not initiate when you press again, you'll only get the steady lights as before. Release button, then IMMEDIATELY press button a second time to initiate the cloning process. When both are steady, press the red button and hold until both source and target lights start flashing. Power up the unit and observe that the "source" and "target" lights will flash several times. To initiate cloning, insert the source drive in the rear (power-plug side) slot and the target (larger capacity) drive in the front slot. Obviously, this thing can save a big chunk of time and aggravation, provided the user is careful to follow correct procedure (see cons).Ĭons: It's important to note that the clone function DOES NOT WORK if the unit is USB-connected to a computer it's strictly a stand-alone item when cloning. I sampled a few files from the data partition to verify readability without any problems Have not yet had a chance to verify the bootability of the target images on actual hardware, but the boot image does show as bootable according to the Acronis DD-12. The clone partitions were identical in size to the originals. I reset to GPT using Acronis DD-12 without any difficulty.

Thus, the full capacities of the target drives were not recognized by the system (W7 Ultimate). Both were "refurbs" bought thru Newegg and verified upon arrival using WD's Data-lifeguard software, and initiated as GPT drives.īoth clones appeared to run as intended, except that the created partitions on the target drives were NTFS, not GPT.
Both target drives were 3.5" HGST, one 3Tb, the other 4Tb. Source drive was a 2.5" WD 320 Gig, configured as an NTFS boot drive with two partitions (my backup for an auxiliary system). Have tried the drive clone function, following the manufacturer's guidance as written by using larger "target" drives. It does look sharp, and seems to do its job well. Pros: This docking station arrived promptly, decently packed and in apparent good condition.
