This mode copies all information from Source-HDD (slot2) to Target-HDD
(slot1), incl. boot sectors, MBR, hard drive partitions and every single
data block as a 1:1 copy. If the Target-HDD is larger than the Source-
HDD, the remaing space will be left blank.
This mode compares the sectors of both HDDs. If the sectors are
different, the buzzer will give an alarm beep and the HDD status LED of
slot 1 will twinkle in red. If they are ok, the buzzer will beep for 5 times and
