1: Introduction
1.0 Introduction to the SCSI-NG
The SCSI-NG is a compact portable SCSI hard drive duplicator. Efficient cloning makes it easy to copy SCSI
hard drives for back-up, drive testing and all your duplication tasks. The unit features a Gigabit Ethernet
network port to conveniently use the browser-based interface to manage all SCSI-NG operations.
Comprehensive log reports provide detailed information about each task performed. An optional Wipe
feature can securely erase hard drives using a SCSI format command, a custom pass, or a 7-pass DoD
specification wipe.
1.1 Features
Supports cloning of 68-pin SCSI hard drives. One master to one target. Optional adapters are
available to convert 50-pin or 80-pin drives.
Clones all operating systems including Windows 10, Linux and Unix®.
Use the browser-based user interface to manage all operations including software updates. The
unit has a Gigabit Ethernet port.
Multi-Image Master. This feature allows you to store multiple SCSI-NG-created images on a SCSI
master drive connected to the SCSI-NG or on a network repository and then clone to selected
targets.
Write-protected master port. The master port is automatically write-blocked to prevent any
alteration to sensitive data on the master drive.
Multiple Cloning Modes:
oMirror Copy, bit for bit copy. Supports all O/S including Windows and Linux.
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
oFor multiple partition drives, SCSI-NG automatically selects the optimum cloning
method (Clever or Mirror)
Hash/Verification option (SHA1, SHA256 or MD5) allows the user to clone and verify the exact
replication of the master drive. Available with the purchase of an optional software activation
package.
Wipe option allows the user to securely erase target drives using a SCSI format command, a
custom pass or a 7-pass DoD specification wipe. Meets the NIST 800-88 guidelines. Available
with the purchase of an optional software activation package.
Audit trail/log reports provide detailed information on each task. A digital signature is included
in the report for authentication purposes.

The SCSI-NG clone, hash, and wipe speeds are determined by
several factors including (but not limited to) the following:
The manufacturer specifications of the drive(s) being used
The age of the drive (manufactured date, not purchased date)
How often that drive has been used
3.1.1 Blank Disk Check
A blank disk check can be performed to see if a drive has been wiped by the unit. This check will
not be accurate if Secure Erase or Pattern Buffers was used to wipe the drive. To perform a
blank disk check:
1. Connect a drive to the unit.
2. Choose Clone, Hash, or Wipe/Format.
3. Go to Master or Target to see the list of connected drives.
4. Tap the More Info icon to the right of the drive to display information about the drive.
