1: Introduction
1.0 Introduction to the SuperSonix®-NG
The SuperSonix®-NG continues Logicube’s legacy of high-performance, reliable and feature-packed hard
drive duplicators. Designed for IT professionals the SuperSonix-NG features blazing fast cloning speeds of
24GB/min, an easy-to-use browser-based interface, a wipe feature, and broad interface support including
PCIe. Its compact size makes it ideal for the workbench or mobile on-site applications. The SuperSonix-NG
is perfect for any drive cloning tasks including software and O/S upgrades, back-ups, new PC rollouts and
content/application distribution.
Throughout this manual the use of the product name “SuperSonix-NG” applies to the PCIe enabled
version of the product as well, and unless specified otherwise all features/functions of SuperSonix-
NG apply to the PCIe enabled version of the product.
1.1 Features
•High-speed cloning. The SuperSonix-NG will clone at blazing speeds of 24GB/min*.
•The SuperSonix-NG supports SATA, USB3 and PCIe with 2 SATA, 1 USB 3.0 and 1 PCIe master
port, and 2 SATA, 1 USB3.0, and 1 PCIe target port.
•M.2 PCIe NVMe, AHCI and SATA, PCIe and mini-PCIe express cards are supported with an
optional PCIe Adapter Kit.
•Support for SAS (enabled on all 4 SATA ports) and FireWire (1 source, 1 target) storage
enclosures is available with optional software-based activation packages.
•1.8”/2.5”/3.5” IDE and IDE ZIF drives, eSATA, microSATA, mSATA, and compact flash media
are supported with optional adapters.
•Multi-master/multi-target cloning. Clone from 1 or 2 master SATA (SAS optional) drives to 1 or
2 SATA (SAS optional) target drives simultaneously. Clone from 1 USB 3.0 master to multiple
target drives; 1 USB 3.0, 2 SATA (SAS optional), 1 FireWire (optional). Use the optional USB to
SATA adapter to convert the USB 3.0 ports to SATA and clone from up to 3 SATA master drives up
to 3 SATA targets simultaneously. The SuperSonix-NG allows users to clone from 1 PCIe master
drive to multiple target drives including a PCIe target drive. PCIe drives require optional adapters.
•Networking (Optional). Allows upload/download network access to drive images and log files.
Clone to/from a network repository. Store multiple SuperSonix-NG created images on a shared
network location then clone selected images to target drives. This option also allows you to clone
from an unopened laptop using our USB boot client and iSCSI.
•Multi-session capability. Allows user to perform multiple tasks, including cloning, wiping or
hashing concurrently.

INTRODUCTION
Logicube SuperSonix®-NG User’s Manual 2
•Optional Hash verification (SHA1, SHA256 or MD5) Users can clone and verify the exact
replication of the master drive in one single process. Hash verification is embedded in the audit
trail/log file.
•Clones all operating systems, including Windows 10, MAC, Linux and Unix.
•SuperSonix-NG formats target drives to NTFS, exFAT, EXT4 or FAT32 file systems and supports
cloning from master drives formatted to any major file system.
•Write-protected master drives. All master ports are automatically write-blocked to prevent any
alteration to sensitive data on the master drive.
•Cloning modes:
oMirror Copy (bit for bit copy). Supports all O/S including Windows, Linux and MAC.
oCleverCopy (copies only data areas, skips blank sectors, scales partitions to target).
Supports FAT16/FAT32/NTFS and Linux (ext, ext2, ext3, ext4) file systems.
oFor Multiple partition drives, SuperSonix-NG automatically selects the optimum cloning
method (Clever or Mirror).
•Multi-Image Master: Store multiple images created in SuperSonix-NG in a repository on a
master drive or enclosure connected to the SuperSonix-NG and then clone to selected target
drives. Use the Networking Option to store multiple SuperSonix-NG created images on a shared
network location and then clone to selected targets.
•Wipe feature. Sanitize hard drives to DoD 7-pass specification. Offers Secure Erase and custom
pass settings, meets NIST SP 800-88 guidelines. Wipe at speeds of 27GB/min*. Optional selection
to verify wipe pass value during the wipe process.
•Unlock and clone ATA Security locked drives. Temporarily unlock drives and then clone, hash or
wipe. Requires ATA Security password to unlock.
•Bad sector handling. Scan for bad sectors on the source drive, abort or skip and log for review.
•Audit trail/log reports provide detailed information on each task. A digital signature is included
in the report for authentication purposes. Reports are available in PDF, HTML or XML format and
users can export individual or all log reports to a USB flash drive.

with the drive manufacturer to find out if the drive being used does not support hot
swapping.
The PCIe port is not hot-swappable. Always turn the unit off
when connecting or disconnecting drives through the PCIe port.
Master drives do not have to be connected in any order. For example, a single SATA
Master drive does not have to be connected to the SAS/SATA S1 port. It can be
connected to the SAS/SATA S2 port without having anything connected to the S1 port.
Never connect a Master drive to the Target ports of the unit.
Data may be overwritten if a drive is connected to a Target port.

Logicube SuperSonix-NG™ User’s Manual 10
Any combination of drives can be connected, up to 5 Master drives. For example, one SAS
drive, one SATA drive, one USB drive, one PCIe drive, and one FireWire drive can all be
connected at the same time.
2.2.2 Connecting Target Drives
Target drives must be connected to the right side of the unit. These ports are labeled as
follows:
•SAS D1 –SAS/SATA data port for the Target 1 (D1) position. Support for SAS
drives requires optional software activation.
•SAS D2 –SAS/SATA data port for the Target2 (D2) position. Support for SAS
drives requires optional software activation.
•PWR 1 –Power port for SAS D1.
•PWR 2 –Power port for SAS D2.
•USB D1 –USB 3.0 Target port.
•PCIe –PCIe port for PCIe, mPCIe, and M.2 AHCI/NVME drives. Available on the
SuperSonix-NG PCIe version.
•FW D1 –FireWire Target port. Support for SAS drives requires optional
software activation.
The following Target ports are affected by optional
software activations:
SAS D1, SAS D2 –Supports SATA drives. Support for
SAS drives requires activation of optional software.
FW D1 Requires activation of optional software.
Target drives do not have to be connected in order. For example, a single SATA Target
drive does not have to be connected to the SAS/SATA D1 port. It can be connected to the
SAS/SATA D2 port without having anything connected to the D1 port.

Logicube SuperSonix-NG™ User’s Manual 11
The PCIe port is not hot-swappable. Always turn the unit off
when connecting or disconnecting drives through the PCIe port.
Any combination of drives can be connected, up to 4 Destination drives. For example, one
SAS drive, one SATA drive, one USB drives, and one FireWire drive can all be connected at
the same time, when all required options have been activated.
Most of the SuperSonix-NG ports are hot swappable. Some drives are not hot
swappable. Please check with the drive manufacturer to find out if the drive being used
does not support hot swapping.
When disconnecting drives, it is very important to make sure
the drives are not being used on any task. Disconnecting drives
while the unit is using the drive for a task may cause data loss.
2.2.3 Using USB/FireWire/eSATA drives or enclosures
When using USB, FireWire, and/or eSATA drives or enclosures, it is highly recommended
to leave the drive inside the enclosure. These enclosures may have an on-board controller
that may be necessary to read the drive properly. Taking the drive out of the enclosure
could cause any device (including computers) not to read the drive contents properly.
2.2.4 Connecting PCIe/mPCIe/M.2 (AHCI/NVMe) Drives
An optional PCIe adapter kit (part number F-ADP-PCIE-KIT) is available for the PCIe
enabled SuperSonix-NG (F-SUPERSONIX-NG-P). PCIe, Mini PCIe, and M.2 (NVMe, AHCI,
and SATA) drives can be connected using this kit.
The PCIe port is not hot-swappable. Always turn the unit off
when connecting or disconnecting drives through the PCIe port.
2.3 The user interface
The user interface (UI) has been designed to quickly and easily input commands. It is simple and intuitive
showing common icons such as tasks, modes of operation, and scroll icons on the screen. The UI is
designed to be easily followed, going from left to right across the screen.

2.4 Front and rear ports
The unit has two USB 2.0 host ports, one Micro-B USB 3.0 device port, one DC IN power port, one Gigabit
Ethernet port, and one type C mini HDMI port.
2.4.1 Front ports
There are two USB 2.0 host ports and one USB 3.0 (Micro-B) device port.
2.4.1.1 USB 2.0 host ports
These ports are used to connect peripherals such as USB keyboards,
mice, and printers. These ports are also used for exporting audit log and
debug log files.
