Logicube ZXi-10G™ User’s Manual 1
1: Introduction
1.0 Introduction to the Logicube ZXi-10G
The ZXi™-10G provides the ability, with an optional PCIe Expansion Module to clone up to 16 M.2
NVMe SSDs. The ZXi-10G is the first hard drive duplicator on the market to include two 10 GbE
network connections, allowing you to streamline your workflow and clone directly to or from a network
repository or a NAS device. The ZXi-10G efficiently performs hard drive duplication and wiping tasks
including PC deployments, OS upgrades, content/application distribution, and data backup tasks.
1.1 Features
•High-speed cloning –The ZXi™-10G will clone at blazing speeds up to 29GB/min* using SATA
SSDs
•M.2 NVMe Cloning –The optional PCIe Expansion Module supports cloning up to 16 M.2 NVMe
SSDs. Clone up to 129GB/min* using high-performance NVMe SSDs.
•The ZXi-10G has built-in support for 3.5”/2.5” SATA hard drives. The SAS-ready drive stations
support SAS hard drives with the purchase of an optional software activation package.

INTRODUCTION
Logicube ZXi-10G™ User’s Manual 2
•Two high-speed 10GbE connections are available to clone or create images to/from a network
repository or NAS and achieve transfer speeds of up to 30GB/min. Utilize a 2.5GbE connection
to help minimize bottlenecks.
•Supports cloning to and from USB enclosures and thumb drives. 9 ports are available:
o6 USB 3.2 Gen 1 (Type A)
o2 USB 3.2 Gen 2 (Type A)
o1 USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (Type C)
•Two Thunderbolt™ 4/USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 ports allow users to connect Thunderbolt external
storage enclosures to the available port on the ZXi-10G and clone to/from these solutions
•Optional 4-Port Drive Expansion Kit provides an additional 2 SAS/SATA and 2 SATA targets for
a total of 9 SATA targets (7 SAS) when cloning from a master hard drive or 10 SATA (8 SAS)
targets from a network repository or an external USB enclosure connected to the ZXi-10G
•M.2 SATA, 1.8”/2.5”/3.5” IDE and IDE ZIF drives, eSATA, microSATA, mSATA and flash media
are supported with optional adapters
•Multi-target, volume cloning –Clone from 1 Master to 5 SATA target drives or 5 SAS (if SAS
option is purchased) target drives, or clone from a ZXi-10G created image repository stored
on an external USB enclosure or a network repository to a total of 6 SATA/SAS target hard
drives
•Supports multiple master drives –Users can assign any port as a master or target
•Wipe feature –Choose from Secure Erase, DoD wipe, and custom pass settings. Complies with
NIST 800-88 guidelines. User selectable option to verify wipe pass value during the wipe
process.
•Hash verification (SHA1, SHA256 or MD5) allows users to clone and verify the exact replication
of the source drive. Available with the purchase of an optional software activation package
•Multi-session capability allows users to perform multiple tasks, including cloning, wiping or
hashing concurrently
•Write-protected master drives –Any drives designated as master by the user are
automatically write-blocked to prevent any alteration to sensitive data on the master drive
•Task Macro feature allows users to set specific tasks to be performed sequentially. For
example, wipe, then clone, then hash.
•Multiple cloning modes:
oMirror Copy –(bit-for-bit copy). Supports all OS including Linux and Mac®
oClever Copy –(copies only data areas, skips blank sectors, scales partitions to target).
Supports FAT16/FAT32/NTFS and Linux (ext, ext2, ext3, ext4) file systems.
oMulti-Image Master –Store multiple ZXi-10G created images in a repository on a USB
enclosure connected to ZXi-10G or on a shared network location and then clone to
selected targets
•Bad sector handling –When bad sectors are encountered on the source drive the cloning
process can abort or skip the bad sector. Bad sectors are logged for review.
•Advanced administrative functions allow users to create/manage image repositories, manage
network settings, create user profiles, save configurations, manage drive station assignments,
etc.
