Usage

SINGLE Mode

  • Carefully insert one or two SATA I/II/III drives.
    Hint: You can insert one 2.5″ or one 3.5″ drive in each bay

  • The SATA drive is automatically recognised by the operating system and is ready for use immediately.

  • In SINGLE mode the SATA drives can be used independently of each other. ATTENTION! As soon as one drive is already installed and a second drive is added, both drives disconnect briefly and reconnect again.
    Make sure that all read and write operations are completed to avoid data loss.

  • If the drive is not immediately recognised by the operating system, please check: if the driver software is installed (USB).
    if the SSD is initialised, partitioned and formatted.
    Hint: The IB-127CL-U3 is backwards compatible with USB 2.0.
    Note that the full USB 3.0 transfer rate of up to 5 Gbit/s can only be achieved with a compatible USB 3.0 port on your host computer.

Cloning Mode

  • Carefully insert the SATA drives into bay 1 HDD 1 (source) and bay 2 HDD 2 (target).

  • The power adapter must still be connected to a standard household ~230 V power socket.

  • Switch on the Docking & CloneStation with the ON/OFF switch.

  • Hint: You can only activate clone mode without an existing USB connection to the host computer.

  • Insert the SATA drives to bay 1 HDD 1 (source) and bay 2 HDD 2 (target) gently. ATTENTION! The copying direction is from bay 1 HDD 1 (source) to bay 2 HDD 2 (target)!
    Also make sure that the volume capacity of the source drive is equal to or smaller than that of the target drive! Otherwise the cloning process will fail.

  • To start the cloning process, press and hold the clone button for about 5 seconds.

  • The front display lights up and shows the cloning process from 1% to 100%.

  • When the front display shows 100%, the cloning process is complete.
    Hint: The duration of the cloning process depends on the type of drive (HDD/ SSD) and the according capacities of drives.
