StarTech 1:1 M.2 NVMe Drive Duplicator

The 1:1 M.2 NVMe Drive Duplicator from StarTech not only functions as a standalone drive duplicator but may also be used as an external M.2 drive dock for your Windows, Mac, Chrome, or Linux system. For standalone duplication, it features two M.2 drive slots, one of which is for the source drive and the other of which is for the target drive, with data transfer speeds of up to 90GB per minute. NVMe (M-Key) and SATA (B+M-Key) interfaces are supported, as are drives with M.2 2230, 2242, 2260, 2280, and 22110 form factors. When used as a drive dock, it connects to your host system using a 20 Gb/s USB-C 3.2 Gen 2x2 interface. Also featured are LED indicators for power, progress, and SMART status, an audible alert that signals when cloning is completed, active and passive cooling, and more.

• Back up critical data stored on NVMe SSDs and ensure efficient recovery in the event of drive failure or data loss.
• Streamline the deployment of identical system configurations by creating exact copies of a configured NVMe drive.
• Upgrade or replace an M.2 NVMe SSD by duplicating the existing drive contents to a new drive, eliminating time consuming data transfers and reinstallations.

Clone or duplicate M.2 NVMe solid-state drives (SSDs) without the need for a computer. With high performance sector-by-sector duplication rates of up to 90GB per minute, you'll be able to work with most file formats and copy entire drives.

A 20 Gb/s USB-C 3.2 Gen 2x2 host connection enables external access and storage functionality for M.2 NVMe drives, facilitating data transfers between different computers without the need to install the drives internally.

The duplicator's small form factor requires minimal desktop or storage space, while multiple LEDs indicators display power, progress, and SMART status. There is also an audible buzzer that confirms duplication completion, while active and passive cooling help ensure optimal performance.

No drivers or software are required. The top-loading (toaster style) design ensures PCIe M.2 drives (M-Key) will fit, even those with preinstalled heat sinks. 4Kn sector size is supported, and the target disk must be equal to or larger than the source disk.

This item can be used as a standalone solution for cloning M.2 NVMe drives without using computer resources. It is well suited for data backups, hardware upgrades, IT system imaging and support tasks, routine maintenance, educational environments, and more.
