4.6 Advices to the cloning-function
The clone function creates an identical copy of your hard drive – no need to connect to any
computer. You can copy a bootable system disk without additional software or professional
skills.
- Since the cloning process copies every single byte of the source HDD the process may take
several hours depending on the HDD capacity.
- After the cloning process is completed, in some cases the computer may not be able to identify
both drives since they are assigned to the same drive letter. To separate the drives, you must assign
one drive to a new drive letter under "disk management" (Windows).
- If only one drive is plugged into HDD1 (source), there will be no action when you press the
start button.
- The target HDD (HDD2) must be of the same size or bigger than the source HDD (HDD1).
- If the targets drive (HDD2) is smaller than the source drive (HDD1), after pressing the start button,
both HDD1 and HDD2 LED will blink in high frequency. Please press the power button to turn off
the power and remove the HDDs
- You may create a new volume with the remaining space on the target HDD after cloning.
