The dual bay clone dock primarily functions as a two-bay drive dock that allows you to easily connect up to two hard
drives to your computer through a single USB connection.
1. Before you power on the unit, insert your SATA hard drive(s) into the Disk 1 and/or Disk 2 bay. Be sure that the
hard drives’ SATA connectors align with the SATA connectors within each bay.
2. Use the provided USB cable to connect the dock with a USB port on your computer.
3. Flip the power switch located on the rear side of the dock. The LED indicator will light up and the hard drives will
be powered up.
4. Your computer will automatically detect the newly connected device and drives. It may need a minute or two to
install the necessary drivers. The Dock uses drivers that are already built into your OS. Additional drivers are not
required to this product.
5. Once the computer has recognized the drives, they will show up under My Computer if you are using a Windows
operating system or on your desktop if you are using a Mac OSX operating system.
NOTE:
Do not remove the hard drives from the dock, or disconnect the dock from the USB port of your computer while
copying les to or from the device or while les or applications stored on the hard drive are in use. DOING SO
MAY RESULT IN LOSS OF DATA
6. Hardware Clone Function
(Hard drive duplication)
To successfully use the clone function, the capacity of target hard drive must be larger or equal to the source drive. Please note the
source data can not be cloned to a drive with smaller capacity.
Hardware Clone Mode
With this function, users can enjoy the one button clone (from source HDD to target HDD) without connecting to computer.
Important Note :
1. Before doing hardware clone, please disconnect the USB cable that is between
the dock and the computer. If the mentioned cables are connected during cloning
process, they may cause corruption of the hard drives.
2. Please make sure you put the correct drive into correct drive bay before cloning, if not, the
data will be damaged due to misuse.
3. The capacity of target disk (should be put in the Target bay) must be equal or larger
in capacity than the source disk.
4. Once cloning has completed please go to disk management to nd
target drive, right click the drive and change to “ONLINE”
Please follow below steps to enable the hardware clone :
1. Install two hard drives into the dock. Make sure the correct drives are properly installed
to source bay (Disk 1) and target bay (Disk 2).
2. Connect the power adapter and ip the power button to power up the dock and drives.
3. Press and hold the CLONE button for 5 seconds to start the duplication. The percentage
LED indicators located next to the “Clone” button will begin blinking. If you fail to click
the copy button within 5 seconds, you must start the process again.
4. As the duplication process progresses, the LED indicators will stop blinking indicating
the percentage completed. For example, if the 25% and 50% LED indicators are solid
red while 75% and 100% continue blinking, then the duplication process is approximately
50% - 75% completed.
5. When the duplication process has completed, all 4 percentage LED indicators will stop blinking
and stay solid Blue. Flip the power switch located on the rear side of the dock to the off position.
6. It is now safe to remove the hard drives from the dock. Press down on the disk eject button to release
