I purchased the Sabrent EC-SS02 docking/cloning station for just over $100. I also purchased a new HP Pavillion PC with Windows 11 on a 256GB M.2 NVMe SSD drive. Before first boot, I removed the OEM 256GB NVMe drive and cloned it with the Sabrent "off line" docking station, to a 1TB NVME SSD. It took about 5 minutes to clone the unused drive. Installed the new 1TB NVMe SSD and it booted perfectly. Started the PC, and after initial setup, I used Disk Manager to allocate the remaining unused storage area on the drive. This unit is great.
If you didn't already, you'll need to resize partitions to use the full size of your 1TB. The clone feature clones the exact size of the source drive to the target drive, leaving the rest as unpartitioned space.
I got one of these and I am very impressed. I particularly like the metal enclosure and the way the cover snaps into position. I do however wish that there was a better way to secure the SSDs than with the little rubber dowel.
If the SSD I’m looking to clone is configured with RAID (Samsung 980 Pro 2tb) and the one I’m cloning to is just regularly initialized (WD SN850X 4tb) will the offline-cloning process work? I”m asking because the flashing light has been stuck on 25% for about 24 hours now . . .
I wish the rubber nubs were a bit sturdier, I've had a few rip on me on this and the smaller enclosure, UGreen has some pivoted ones that work much nicer for hot swapping drives
Most likely you will need to use partitioning software. My portable 2.5" SSD offline cloning tool does the exact same thing. Connect two SSDs or HDDs and turn it on. press the clone button and watch it go. Takes like 15 min or so for a 1 Tb drive. If it the drive is larger, I just go into my partition software and extend it and i'm done! I just need a reliable one for NVMe drives since I fix a lot of laptops these days.
I just want a dual nvme ssd enclosure cause my rockets are dual sided and don't fit in the laptop.. I am scared of accidentally hitting the clone button which is of no use to me. Is there a way to disable it?
Where are the transfer speeds tests and cloning speeds tests??? The USB limitations make the NVMe raid no sence as the max speed for read wright is around 1000 Megabyte per second which is too slow even for one NVMe drive. So if you try to use two drives parallel this speed will drop to 500 Megabytes per second or less !!! You can have these speeds with simple SSDs conected to USB 3.0 ports of your pc with significant lower cost per TB !!! Just think before purcase!!!

After cloning to a larger drive you will need to resize the partition the target drive to take advantage of the extra space.

And can you merge the unused partition? With the current used one? If you can tell me how 😊
@@Jarrahfe You need software like Partition Wizard.
Can it do 2 4tb ? 8tb Max?

The fan on this thing is so loud. Any ideas for reducing fan noise? Any chance of a replacement fan??

Sweet product, great discussion with description and great company!. Thanks
I would love to test that out!
I want to have a dock that supports both nvme and sata.
PS5 compatible?
Is this device clone whole disk 1 to 1 ? (also with the system installed on source SSD)
Very innovative and useful product
Does this works on SAMSUNG 970 EVO Plus SSD 2TB - M.2 NVMe Interface Internal Solid State Drive with V-NAND Technology (MZ-V7S2T0B/AM)
When cloning from a 512GB to a 2TB SSD, does the machine automatically extend the for the extra space? Or do I need to use partitioning software?

I'm going to guess that the cloning feature only works when NOT connected to a computer [similar to other devices like this that clone].
