Cons:Cable is a bit on the short side and the USB connector should be flipped (as it is, it tends to make the HD want to naturally sit upside down. When you flip the HD over, it wants to twist the cable).
Pros:Works right out of the box (well, a zip-lock bag...). Instruction sheet is informative. Comment:
I've used it to clone two hard drives so far and it worked perfectly in both instances. The first cloning was for a Samsung SSD and used Samsung's "Magician" data migration software (through a USB 2.0 port it took about 2 hours to move around 160GB over to the new SSD). The second cloning was for a Seagate SSD and I used Paragon's "Disk Copy 14" data migration software and again, no issues (this time through a USB 3.0 port and that took less than 30 minutes to move 120GB over). Without the need to clone a HD, if it's simply connected, it self-loads it's own drivers (which didn't interfere with either data migration programs listed above) and then if need be, formated to be used as an external HD. |
I have the usb 2.0 to sata cable from the crucial m4 ssd kit, since I have many more ssd drives now, upgrade to usb 3.0 would save me time to transfer files or clone drives.Although I can use a docking to achieve the same, this is more portable, and requires no power supply. Only thing I wish to come with the product is a carry pouch.
