Startech's SATDOCK22R Hard Drive Duplicator functions as both an external hard drive docking station and a convenient hard drive imaging solution. Providing quick yet complete hard drive cloning functionality, the device can operate as a standalone HDD duplicator with no connection to a host computer delivering an exact one to one clone of the target hard drive, including partition and boot sector information as well as user data. Functioning as a SATA docking station, the SATDOCK22R can be connected to a computer through USB with support for simple plug-and-play installation, allowing users to access hard drive contents without having to open the computer case for conventional drive installation.
