STARTECH M.2 PCIe - 2.5-3.5" SATA HDD/SSD cloner USB 3.1-C black

Perform two-way cloning between M.2 PCIe (NVMe) and 2.5"/3.5" SATA SSD/HDD drives without a computer with this M.2 PCIe (NVMe) to SATA drive cloning dock. Stand-alone sector-by-sector copying supports SATA III (6 Gbps) and works with any file system, making it ideal for hardware upgrades, system imaging or maintenance tasks.

The cloning dock can copy data in both directions, from an M.2 PCIe (NVMe) drive to a SATA drive or vice versa, and is compatible with 2242, 2260 and 2280 M.2 PCIe (NVMe) modules and all standard SATA drives. Thanks to the USB 3.1 (10 Gbps) connection, it can also be used as external storage, so data can be easily moved between systems without having to install drives internally. Due to its compact design, it is ideal for on-site work for IT professionals, offering the possibility of immediate data backup, reinstallation or reformatting of drives. The top-opening case facilitates passive cooling, and the device supports 4Kn sector size, TRIM, SMART and UASP protocol. Important: The destination drive must have at least the same capacity as the source drive.
