Thank you! specifically about the start button. Since you can’t hear anything, I figured there should be lights. Btw… the hard drive from my iMac had pins on the sides that prevented insertion of hard drive. I removed the cover and was able to complete copy. I simply put a piece of tape across the tops of each drive to keep them evenly spaced then continued the tape to my kitchen counter to keep them upright.
Thank you so much instruction were wrong on my clone device and I could not get it to do offline cloning. Thank you it was so simple once you showed me the correct button to press on device to get it to clone offline :)
Great video! I have a question? I just purchased an Orico docking station, that is similar to yours, I was wondering do I need to plug in the Target drive first and initialize and format it before I can clone the C drive data onto it? I am referring to a brand-new HD. I have a 2TB drive as my C drive and I just purchased a 4TB drive. It is still in the box. Both drives are 3.5 Barracuda SATA drives, my C drive is getting full, so I need to clone it over to this new 4TB drive, I am just not sure if I need to run Windows Disk Management first and initialize and format it before you can clone? I assume I do, but wanted to double-check first.
I’m using this to offline clone an old 1tb HDD to new 2tb SSD. It’s been blinking at 25% for three hours. What happens if the process is stopped/interrupted? Will source data be lost? Or new SSD damaged? Or, can I have a redo without any issues?
Nothing is written to the source disk so, unless it is already damaged, it should be ok. For the target disk, you can always clean it with diskpart or Rufus
Hello how do I recover files from the cloning HD. I have files on the target HD. I realize all my files are gone. I really appreciate if you could help me with this. Thank you
Let say you are cloning a16tb hdd which may take many hours. in the process if a power disruption occur, will both the hdd be destroyed. The worst nightmare is the data in the 16tb source drive became wiped off. This is a risk no one can take
@@KnowledgeSharingTech i saw reviews from users of this series hdd bays that they got their entire hdd data wipe off from using these bays and the result was power was not properly supplied
Great video, appreciate the clear declaration of the affiliate link 👍🏽

Welcome

Very informative thanks, where are you from sir?
Nice clear video, thanks. Is the cloning feature OS dependent? Do you know if it can clone Mac HFS+ and APFS drives?

No need to prepare it first
Thanks for the video, but I wonder what about the cipher disk because in nowdays are default?
I talk about it at 01:25
Can I use this to clone a very slow and sometimes unresponsive hdd
Slow, yes, unresponsive, no

I didn't try it but why would the drive that is being read be corrupted? Nothing is being written on it.

My old hard drive 2TB has 2 partitions with files/apps, can I clone it offline to a new 2 TB ssd on the go?
Yes
@@KnowledgeSharingTech do I need to reformat the new drive first and partition it similarly to the old drive? (From the box)
@@RalphYapMDI hear there is no need to format, but the target drive should be larger than the source drive.
I used it to clone hdd to ssd it wouldnt work
