Detailed Use Cases and Compatibility

The UGREEN USB 3.0 to SATA Dual-Bay Hard Drive Duplicator/Cloner CM198 serves professional and personal storage tasks. IT technicians clone failing drives or duplicate setups for deployment. Home users back up important files from one HDD to another without software. Small businesses create identical archives or mirror data for redundancy.

Offline cloning operates independently—no PC required. Insert source and target drives, press the clone button, and monitor progress via LEDs. It supports sector-by-sector cloning for exact copies, including bootable drives. The duplicator handles capacities up to 18TB+ per drive depending on firmware.
