Aleratec Portable 1:1 HDD Duplicator/Dock With USB 3.0

Aleratec, Inc. introduces the 1:1 HDD Copy Cruiser Mini USB3.0, a tool for building and upgrading computer systems.

The 1:1 HDD Copy Cruiser Mini USB3.0 gives users the power to make hard drive copies and access hard drives  with one lportable device. Though it weighs in at less than a pound, it is both a standalone hard disk duplicator and a versatile HDD docking station.

Since it is standalone, there is no need to tie up any computer running duplication software. A one-button operation creates clones and backup drives, and the sector-by-sector copy process includes partition and boot sector information. Users can connect and remove drives with the hard disk drive bays, allowing users to mount or dismount either drive.

The 1:1 HDD Copy Cruiser Mini USB 3.0 duplicates any combination of 2.5" and 3.5" SATA hard disk drives and SSDs. Compact Flash memory, CFast memory and 50mm mSATA drives can also be duplicated using optional adapters, not included.

As a docking station, the 1:1 HDD Copy Cruiser Mini USB3.0 can be connected to a PC with the included USB 3.0 cable. This connection allows users access to the contents of up to two connected hard disk drives at a time. Users can add additional storage to an existing computer or backup a computer’s data.

"This is a powerful, high-quality hard disk duplicator in a versatile, lightweight and affordable device," says Aleratec President and CEO Perry Solomon. "Despite its portable size, it features the latest technology, including SuperSpeed USB 3.0, which is quickly becoming the new standard."

The 1:1 HDD Copy Cruiser Mini USB3.0 supports Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7, Mac OS10.3 or later, and Linux.

Available adapters that can be used with the 1:1 HDD Copy Cruiser Mini USB3.0 include the 50mm mSATA SSD to SATA adapter – Part 350118, CFast to SATA adapter – Part 350120 and Compact Flash Type I/II Memory Cards to SATA adapter – Part 350119.
