Believe I catch the author saying that MBR should be used instead of GPT. MBR is an older way (circa 1983) to format and organize data and metadata on a disk, and it has been deprecated. Any modern system - from windows 8 onwards - would use likely use GPT. Any system made in the last 8 years likely uses UEFI instead of a traditional BIOS, and thus will need GPT. GPT is the way to go.

@FnDTX 2 года назад

You are totally right! 2 years ago when I made this vid, mbr was the way I had setup my old hard drives for years. GPT is 100% the way to go now for sure. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I had never installed a HD more then 2tb at this time 2 years ago. GPT supports much larger capacity HD’s as well. I am going to pin your comment if that’s okay with you! Cheers! 🍻

I've had this thing for several centons. I love it. When working in the tech field this didn't exist of course so I used a Norton Ghost floppy to clone literally thousands of Windows 95/98 drives over the years.

@Iamkaden 5 лет назад

Awesome! I may pick this up. Thanks for the review!

Did not have the same model, but the concepts were close enough to get me going. Thank you for the video.

@jr01theweeb 3 года назад

This video was good help, didn't realize I needed to make a volume before copying over the data from the boot drive.

@FnDTX 3 года назад

Glad it helped... Its not always necessary to create a volume. I just did it to mainly show how its done... but it works either way. Cheers!

@RoadRageLive 4 года назад

Thanks man. I bought this about 6 months ago and used it to clone 6 systems from standard hard drives to SSD. Then I put it in a drawer and forgot how it worked. I went online to get the manual but came across your video instead. I wish they had thought to out a label on the unit to explain its function, but that would be too much, I guess. Again, thanks.

@FnDTX 4 года назад

No problem 👍 Glad it worked out for you. 😁 Thanks for watching! 🤙

@andresperez1116 4 года назад

Thanks for all your help, one little question, ¿how it works when the ssd target disk is smaller than the source? ¿It reduces the partition? Or leaves part of the data without copying. Thanks!!

@lastgleeming 3 года назад

Thank you The conditions say that the capacity of the target SSD MUST be greater than the source SSD . I have identical 500 GB EVO 860’s . The target is new . The source only has a new home win 10 64b . Will it work?

Great vid, I have one of these, I bought it just to access some old data off some dead PC's. Now I'm going to use it to upgrade the clunky old mechanical drive to and SSD. My system has 2 1Tb partitions on it, will the offline clone transfer both partitions? The new drive will be 4Tb. I get I might have to extend the volumes when finished. Thanks in advance.

@FnDTX 2 года назад

I believe it will, but don’t quote me on that lol. It should duplicate the source drive but extend the volumes for sure. Good luck! Cheers!

@faustsmith 5 лет назад

Hello Sir, I have this particular docking station, a new one and its clone function does not work! Can a new hard-drive out of the anti-static bag be cloned in the target bay of this docking station with the smaller source hard-drive in the source bay and no USB ?

@FnDTX 5 лет назад

I clone target drives straight out of the anti static bags with out any issues. Do not need to plug in the USB. I plug in the USB to check the target drive and check for issues, maybe set a drive letter and format, but for what I have tested, it will work with out plugging the USB in first. Put target drive in, put source drive in, push the button and wait... Hope yours works for you? If not, I would submit it back to the seller and seek a replacement. Good luck! 👍

@RadiumSilver 4 года назад

It won't work if it's smaller than the source, that could be the problem.

@Avachs 3 года назад

I have two hards drives that are 1 TB each and I had recently bought a 4TB hard drive. Would I just clone both of the old 1TB hard drives to the new 4TB drive?

@FnDTX 3 года назад

You can do a direct copy with the 4tb and the two 1tb drives in the wavlink one by one. It should separate each drives files, but i am not sure on this one. Best to contact the manufacturer and find out how the best way to do that is? Good luck! It seems like it should just copy the files from each drive with no issues though? Best to double check with the manufacturer tho. Cheers 🥂

@The-Eric-Cartman Год назад

I’ve been trying for a week to clone my ssd with this thing. I hold the button for three seconds, and the indicator lights don’t flash, they light up solid. I immediately press the button again, and nothing happens.

@Gord.Stewart 3 месяца назад

another reviewer on this said you need to press the button once until both light up, then press it again. (not to hold it)

@faustsmith 5 лет назад

Could you please say how to extend the cloned volume on the larger target hard-drive completed from the smaller source hard-drive. The target hard-drive had unallocated space showing and that space cannot be used.

@FnDTX 5 лет назад

You might have to extend volume of the partition. Just to to disk management, then right click on the used partition, and then extend the partition to take up the remaining unused unallocated space. If that is hard to understand, there is videos on RU-vid that show you. Just type in, "Extend unallocated disk space on windows10". That might get it for you. Good luck! Be ready with a back up just in case you get it wrong and have to re-clone it. Never hurts to play it safe 😉👉.

@barrybegley5379 4 года назад

Excellent Video & Product. A quick question. I have a 1 TB source disk with less than 100 Gig on it and a Target ssd Drive that is 500 Gig. Can I clone this source since the data takes up LESS than the Target's capacity. Thanks.

@FnDTX 4 года назад

Yes, for what I can tell, you can clone to any drive that has a larger capacity than the source drive, and you can clone a larger capacity drive to a smaller capacity drive as long as the contents on the source drive is less than the space available on the target drive. Good luck!! Thanks for watching! 🙂👍

@FnDTX 3 года назад

@Milton Keenes As long as your destination drive is the same size or larger than your source drive, you are golden! Good luck! :) Cheers! 🍻

@tres913 5 лет назад

Thanks for the review. I may be confusing this with a different dock/review but someone in comments at Amazon mentioned that you must wait - following the cloning procedure - for the blue light to not only stop flashing but it must also go out before shutting down and removing the drives. Is that not your experience?

@FnDTX 5 лет назад

Yeah, the lights went out right before I grabbed my camera to show that it finished, but yes that was pretty much the same as my experience.

@JuanGarcia-mq4lj 4 года назад

Tres In my experience, not needed. When it stops flashing I just turn off the Wavlink and the disk is already a perfect clone.

@lankzgenz9966 2 года назад

Some help needed please, my dock recognises the source and target drives (constant light) but when I try to start the clone they flash (doesn’t stay constant like yours) and the progress lights just go round in a circle, not sure what to do

@dremadalfayez8652 2 года назад

iam working in a company with limited resources can i use this to colon company ssd to my new ssd to use the system as well as activated windows and Microsoft office?

@FnDTX 2 года назад

You can clone an SSD with Windows on it, activated or not. Just follow the video to setup the new SSD, then pull the old SSD from the PC and place it in the source port in the Wavlink, then put the new SSD in the other slot and transfer. It should finish and you can put the new SSD in the computer and it will boot. Thanks for watching.

It doesn't copy fast. Depends on HD size. average, 15-30 minutes.

I’m using this to offline clone an old 1tb HDD to new 2tb SSD. It’s been blinking at 25% for three hours. What happens if the process is stopped/interrupted? Will source data be lost? Or new SSD damaged? Or, can I have a redo without any issues?

@dhansel4835 Год назад

I have tried several HD cloning software but disappointed at most of them. I had been using Acronis True Image. It seemed to work fine until my computer power supply went out and took out the motherboard. My tower computer has several removable racks so I can clone to one of 3 drives in rotation. After I had my new computer built with a new motherboard, processor, RAM and 4 gig video card I decided to clone it. After the cloning process was finished the monitor was flashing off and on twice a second. I found out that Acronis had trashed both the cloned disk and my drive “C”. I had used the FREE program called AOMEI Backer-up. This was before my computer died. After building my new computer I decided to buy the Pro version of AOMEI and use it. When I cloned my drive “C” the cloned drive would not boot up. The operating system, Windows 10 Pro would not boot up. Several engineer friends told me they use a stand-a-lone device called “Wavlink”. On their suggestions I purchased it. I have removable hard drives so I had to take the hard drives out of the mobile racks and put them into the Wavlink. My drive “C” is a 512gig drive which only has my programs on it. All my data is kept separate on two, two terabytes drives. The time it takes to clone my drive “C” takes about 20 minutes. The Wavlink really is worth the $35.

@bigguyprepper 4 года назад

@FnDTX 4 года назад

This model will only work the newer hard drives and SSD's, sata connections I believe. I am sure it will not work with the older ide drives though. I think there is a model to clone that older model though? Good luck, check Amazon and eBay... 👍

@FnDTX 3 года назад

@Milton Keenes That is actually a good question, I am not sure on that one? You could clone the first drive, and then open a new partition on the destination drive and clone the other source drive to the new partition? That is just a suggestion, as I am not entirely sure? I would think that if you tried it, it wouldn't hurt anything because the source drives would still be intact? Best suggestion is continue some more research on it, and hopefully the partition or something like that will work? Good luck!

I guess mine is working. Mine is cycling from 25 to 50 to 75 to 100.

@revaaron 5 лет назад

does this do block-level cloning?

@FnDTX 5 лет назад

Yes, it does block-level cloning. Doesn't care where the file is on the drive. What the filesystem is, or if it's encrypted.. copies a drive exactly. It will also leave the extra space on the target drive alone, such at a 1tb cloned to a 2 tb. The 2 tb, will have the extra 1tb left to add files without having to adjust or add partitions. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching 😊!

@FnDTX 3 года назад

I think so. I can clone a HD or SSD and most of the time plug into the pc, and boot up to windows 10 on it. Sometimes you have to adjust your settings in bios to recognize that hard drive, but most of the time, it works out of the Wavlink. Good luck!
