SSD Reading / Writing Instruction

1. Press the cover release buttons on both sides and move the covers upwards.
2. Insert the SSD into the slot on one side and fix it with the silicone grommet.
   • This device can be used with one SSD or two SSDs.
3. Connect the device and computer with the USB cable.
4. Connect the power adapter to the wall outlet and the device.
5. Press the power button and start to use it.

WARNING: Do not install any SSD when the device is powered on or connected to other devices.

Offline Cloning Instruction

• Before cloning, disconnect the USB cable from the device.
• The capacity of the source SSD has to be equal to or smaller than that of the target SSD, otherwise, the cloning function will not work.

1. Press the cover release button on both sides and move the covers upwards.
2. Insert source SSD and target SSD into the slots marked as ” Source” and Target” respectively and fix them with silicone grommets.
3. After installing both SSDs, connect the power adapter to the wall outlet and the device.
4. Press the power button to turn on the device.
5. Press and hold the clone button until 4 clone indicators (25-50%- 75%-100%) light up. Then release the clone button and the cloning is started.
6. The 25% clone indicator begins to flash.
7. Once the four clone indicators stop flashing and remain solid at 100%, the cloning is completed.

Note: The time to finish depends on the capacity of the source SSD.

Trouble Shooting

1. Used as an enclosure

2. Why can’t SSDS show up on the computer?

3. Please check whether the SSD is PCle NVMe SSD and correctly inserted into the slot. Notice M.2 SATA SSD is not supported in this device.

4. Please check whether your SSD shows up in Disk Management/Disk Utility
   For Windows OS: Right-click on This PC and select Manage to enter Disk Management.
   For Mac OS: Type “Disk Utility” into the desktop search bar and hit the enter key.

5. The SSD needs to be formatted and initialized if it is brand new.

6. For Windows OS, please take the following steps: Right-click on This PC to go to Manage-> Disk Management-Initialize Disk.

7. Right-click on the unallocated space and click on New Simple Volume Select Next several times according to the prompt, and then click on Finish before exiting.

For Mac OS, Please take the following steps:

1. A prompt appears after it is connected to the enclosure.
   • Right-click on Initialize to start.
2. Right-click on Erase and a pop-up window comes into sight.
3. Right-click on Erase in the pop-up window to finish initializing SSD.
4. Please replace the SSD (preferably a known good one ) to determine if the SSD is faulty or not.

Used as a duplicator

1. Why do the four clone indicators remain off after pressing and holding the clone button?
2. Please check if the USB cable is connected to the device before cloning If yes, the clone button cannot work.
3. Why does the 25% clone indicator stay on and the source/target SSD indicator stays off after starting the clone?
4. This indicates that cloning can not be carried out.
5. Please check whether the capacity of the target SSD is equal to or larger than that of the source SSD.
6. Please check whether both SSDs are PCle NVMe SSDs and correctly inserted into the slots. Notice M.2 SATA SSD is not supported in this device.
7. Why can’t the source SSD show up after cloning? (the source SSD is offline)?
8. There is a signature collision between the target SSD and source SSD which are the same as each other after cloning. As a consequence, the source SSD goes offline and does not show up on the computer.
9. This usually happens in Windows. To fix this, please take the following steps:
10. Right-click on This PC and select Manage to enter Disk Management.
11. Right-click on the disk marked as Offline or Missing and select Online in the context menu.
12. At this time, Windows will create a new disk signature for the source SSD. Therefore the source SSD comes back online and both SSDS share the same name.
13. Why is there unallocated space in the target SSD (its capacity is much smaller than the actual capacity)?

• The remainder of the storage space will be left as unallocated space after cloning since the target SSD has a greater capacity than the source SSD.
• For Windows OS, please take the following steps:

1. Right-click on This PC and select Manage.
2. Click Disk Management in the left pane.
3. Right-click on Unallocated Space and select Extend Volume Wizard.
4. Select Next several times according to the prompt, and click on Finish before exiting.
5. For Mac OS, the target SSD can only use the same space as the source SSD and the unallocated space cannot be expanded due to the limitations of the Mac operating system.
6. Why can’t the target disk be used as the system disk after cloning the system disk?
7. The cloned target disk can be used as the system disk only if it is directly inserted into the computer’s hard disk slot.
8. The cloned target disk cannot be used as the system disk after being connected to and read by the computer.
9. Once connected to the computer, the cloned target disk needs to be cloned again and inserted into the computer’s hard disk slot directly before being used as the system disk.
