Quick Copy Mode
The duplicator automatically copies only the data area, supports Windows (FAT16/32/64/NTFS), Linux (ext2/ext3/ext4), and Mac (HFS/HFS+/HFSX).
Whole Media
The duplicator copies from the initial sector to the end, bit-by-bit.
Device All Partitions
Copies or skips HPA, DCO, unknown partitions, modified formats
Device Percentage (%)
Sets percentage of source capacity to copy.
High-Speed
U-Reach Mini SAS duplicators copy up to 18GB/min on all devices simultaneously, without any speed degradation as the number of targets increases.
Sanitisation Functions
Verification of Data Integrity
Skipping Bad Sectors
- GLBA (Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act)

Q1. What is the difference between system and files copy and whole media copy modes?
High speed, data consistency, and valuable functions.
1. HDD duplicators support all brands of HDDs. These duplicators copies bit-by-bit at high speeds, which takes around 1~3 hours to finish a 1TB HDD. (Actual speeds varies on HDD and duplicator models).
2. HDD duplicators support "data-only quick copy." Allowing users to save time and skipping empty HDD sectors.
3. Aside from using the copy function, additional features and functions are added; such as the erase function and DOD erase.
Q2. How long does it take for the HDD duplicators to finish duplicating 1TB?
1 Carry series: copy speeds up to 7.2GB/min. 1TB duplication takes around 2.5-3 hours.
2. Industrial IT/CT/MT Standard Series : copy-speeds up to 8.1GB/min. 1TB duplication takes 2~2.5 hours. High-speed Series: copy speeds are up to 18GB/mins, 1TB duplication takes 1 hours
3. Legend series: two different models support up to 3.9GB/min. 1TB duplication takes 4-4.5 hours.
4. Daisy-Chain Super 1 Tower Series: copy speeds up-to 7.2GB/min. 1TB takes 2.5-3 hours.
Q3. What is the difference between the HDD duplicator and ghost software?
GHOST:
1. Installation of GHOST on the PC is required and can only use 2 HDDs at the same time.
2. The speed of the operation depends on the computer's CPU, RAM, BUS, SATA/IDE, and HDD models.
HDD duplicators:
HDD duplicators can simultaneously back-up large-scales of HDDs without speed decline.
Q4. Can I duplicate HDDs that have different capacities?
Yes, you can copy HDDs with different capacities. But you should be aware of the copy mode you do.
1.If you choose to do the quick copy, the duplicator will analyze whether the data can or cannot be duplicated according to its capacity and location.
2.If you're copying with the NTFS format, the capacity of the target HDD must be at least 1MB bigger than the source.
Q5. Can I copy SSD HDD ?
Yes. All HDD/SSD duplicator has support copy SSD.
Q6. Why did the copy fail?
There are a few possible reasons for the copy to fail.
1. Please check if the data capacity in the source HDD has exceeded the amount in the target HDD.
2. If you are copying NTFS, the capacity of the target HDD must be at least 1MB bigger than the source HDD.
3. If the copy stops or fails during the copying process, please check if there are bad sectors in the target or source HDD.
4. If you can't find the reason, please record the operation process as detailed as possible in order to help us examine your issue. a. Briefly describe the process of how you operated the duplicator. b. Please have the model number and version available. Also please provide the HDD brand, capacity, data size, format, and partition of both the source and target HDD. c. Describe the problem. d. Please download the support form from the website, and we will help as soon as possible.
Q7. Why is the copying going slow?
There are few reasons that will cause the copying to go slow.
1. The speed limit of the HDD. You can view the speed limit by checking on the PC.
2. Please check if you placed the HDD horizontally or vertically. Due to the design of the HDD itself, any movement will slow the speed of the HDD's reading or writing.
3. If you are copying multiple HDDs simultaneously, please check if the issue if it is occurring on a few fixed targets. It might be because the connector module has been damaged by usage. You can contact your local seller to change to a new connector module or mobile rack.
Q8. What is the difference between the HDD duplicator and HDD docking machine?
