I’ve been through a lot of different docks as I have to say this is one of the better ones - for the price point.In terms of operation I’ve had no problems:- Offline cloning worked successfully, however only cloning general storage drives - not OS drives.- Successfully cloned two OS drives using the unit as a dock and 3rd party software - which I would always do regardless of the unit when cloning boot disks.The only slight disappointment was that the fan in the bottom that’s supposed to blow cool air up through the base isn’t very powerful, so something to bare in mind if you’re driving a heavy data transfer. But I did have much of a problem with this.

I HAVE TRIED MULTIPLE DRIVES WITH THIS CLONER TODAY AND IT HAS FAILED TO WORK ON EVERY TEST I HAVE CONDUCTED.FIRSTLY THE FAN SYSTEM IS WEAK AND I HAVE MY DOUBTS ABOUT THE COOLING ABILITY.IF YOU HAVE A MANUFACTURERS HEATSINK FITTED TO YOUR DRIVE YOU MIGHT HAVE TROUBLE FITTING THIS BETWEEN THE CONNECTON STRIP AND THE PLASTIC HOUSING.FOR EXAMPLE A WD_BLACK SN850 WITH MANUFACTUERS HEATSING BARELY FITS, A Corsair MP600 PRO WITH HEATSINK WILL NOT FIT.HEATSINKS WAS NOT MY ISSUE WITH THIS DEVICE, THE PROBLEM WAS THE OFFLINE AUTO CLONE OPERATION FAILING EVERY TIME.I INSERTED THE DRIVES BOTH SOURCE AND TARGET TURNED ON THE CLONER AND HELD THE CLONER BUTTON FOR A FEW SECONDS AND OFF IS STARTED, I COULD SEE THE PROGRESS VIA THE BLUE FLASHING LIGHTS, HOWEVER IT GETS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 50 AND 75% AND THE DEVICE SUDENLY POWERS OFF UNEXPEDELY, I TRIED THE OPERATION MULTIPLE TIME WITH IDENTICLE DRIVES FROM MULTIPLE MANUFACTUERS AND THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENS EVERY TIME NO MATTER THE DRIVE OR THE DATA AMOUNT.I TRIED CLONING A PAIR OF 2TB WESTERN DIGITAL DRIVES ON BRAND NEW AND 1 NEARLY NEW WITH 750GB OF DATA AND IT FAILED TO CLONE HEALTH DRIVES MANY TIMES AT 50 TO 75 % .I TRIED SAMSUNG DRIVES ALSO AND CORSAIR ALL OF WHICH STARTED THE CLONE OPERATION AND FAILED TO END AS THE CLONER WOULD POWER OFF WITHOUT WARNING.I OBVIOSLY GOT A FAULTY ITEM WHICH IS UPSETTING AS I LIKE AKASA PRODUCTS NORMALLY VERY GOOD QUALITY BUT HAVING THIS ITEM FAULTY HAS REALLY PUT ME OFF AKASA PRODUCTS AS I CANT TRUST THIS MANUFACTUER TO PROTECT MY DATA WITH FAULTY POOR OUT THE BOX RELIABLITY.I CAN NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT.I MIGHT HAVE CONSIDERED A REPLACEMENT BUT WITH DATA I REQUIRE 100% RELIABLITY

Usual AKASA quality, straight forward to use, although instruction manual could be a little larger/clearer. Have cloned a 2Tb drive, no problems. Cooling fan is good as large data transfers do tend to heat up the NVME drives.

Pro's;Worked straight out of the box.Came with suitable power supply.Faster than a PC copy. (full 500gb SSD copied in around 10mins.)Load drives, turn on, press clone button till orange LED's light, press and hold clone button till 1st blue LED lights, others light in sequence to show progress. Finished when all 4 blue LED's stay on then just switch off and remove drives.Looks pretty.Con's;Fan is a bit noisy so probable wouldn't want it sat on my desk as a caddy/back-up drive.Only clones the exact layout of the doner drive so you will need to use software afterwards to adjust the partition sizes when upsizing drives.Big unit for what it does.£109.50 for a one trick pony (but to be fair, it's a good trick.)

this product is so simple to use .Plug in your M.2 hard drives and away you go All software is built in .Could not believe how simple it is !
