No long-term experience. ---------------------------------------------------------------------
I have to say that I'm a bit disappointed with this one, as the description suggests that it's made of aluminium, but all we have is plastic, which quickly marks up the disk doors, and it does the job regardless of the OS used (Linux and Windows for my part).
It does the job regardless of the OS used (linux and windows for my part).
Bought this to duplicate my new SSD with the O.S. for a backup. Put in the SDD, the target and the job is done in a few minutes in an autonomous way... Perfect for me who does a bit of computer maintenance.
Why can he only clone to a dd of the same or larger size?
I have a 2.5" 620GB Toshiba satellite dd (L770/775), impossible to find new, so impossible to clone except to 1TB (more expensive)
The delivery time was very satisfactory, the item received corresponded well to the description, however, when I opened the package the box seemed to have already been opened, an impression confirmed when I had the unpleasant surprise to find that the power adapter delivered with this product was simply not the one that corresponds to the product, so it was impossible to plug it in and therefore to use it. So for the moment I can only be disappointed.
Did his job perfectly, namely cloning a 1TB HD, 4 partitions including the system partition, double boot XP and W8 and that very simply by putting a new hard disk in the TARGET slot, the disk to clone in the SOURCE slot, turn on the power, and press the copy button, wait 2H30 and there it is ready.
Put the new disk in place (hybrid for the occasion), start the PC, warning of the system at the loading of the OS "Something is wrong with windows will correct", automatic reboot and there miracle, perfect functioning of the two OS, XP (after updating the drivers which is done all seur*l) and W8. A must.
Be careful though, don't invert the TARGET and SOURCE disks, it's a disaster, you lose everything (it's normal). Do not insert the disks when the power is on!
I agree with the other reviews regarding the simplicity of the device.
That said, when it says
"Elegant, high quality aluminium housing"
it's very disappointing to receive something made of plastic which doesn't really reassure you about the long-term robustness
I feel like I've been fooled a bit so
I don't see what could be added to make it a better product...
Conclusion: perfect!

Very easy to use, practical and good quality, I really appreciate it, thank you. The cables are always a bit too short but I think it has become a habit with all kinds of manufacturers :)
