4.2. Offline Clone Mode

The offline clone function allows you to duplicate data from one drive to another without connecting to a computer. The target drive must have a capacity equal to or larger than the source drive.

  1. Txertatu unitateak: Ensure both the source drive (containing data to be copied) and the target drive (where data will be copied to) are correctly installed in their respective slots within the enclosure.
  2. Select Clone Direction: Use the switch on the back of the enclosure to select the desired cloning direction:
    • NVMe → SATA: Clones data from the M.2 NVMe SSD to the 2.5/3.5 inch SATA drive.
    • SATA → NVMe: Clones data from the 2.5/3.5 inch SATA drive to the M.2 NVMe SSD.
  3. Klonazioa hasi: Press and hold the 'Clone' button for approximately 3-5 seconds until the progress indicator LEDs begin to flash.
  4. Jarraitu aurrerapena: The LEDs (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) will illuminate sequentially to indicate the cloning progress. All LEDs will remain solid when the cloning process is complete.
  5. Osatzea: Once all LEDs are solid, the cloning is finished. You can then safely disconnect the power and remove the drives.
