With the Renkforce SATA docking station featuring clone and erase functions, you can connect up to two 6.4 cm (2.5”) and 8.9 cm (3.5”) SATA hard drives to your computer without having to open the PC or use an external hard drive enclosure. It simply connects to the computer using the included USB 3.0 cable. LED indicators show power supply and data flow, and by pressing the eject button, the connection is terminated, allowing you to remove the hard drive. When connecting two hard drives, the clone function can be used to clone the drives without a PC.

Hard drives have a limited lifespan. When this is reached, it may manifest as rattling and/or squeaking noises. In this case, cloning the HDD to a new hard drive saves you the hassle of reinstalling the operating system and every single software.

You can also use the docking station for backups, as your data is safest on a hard drive in a safe. The hard drive cloner/eraser can also delete unnecessary data. This process erases all data from the hard drive.

Ideal for quickly transitioning from a traditional hard drive to fast SSDs: simply copy the old SATA hard drive 1:1 to the SSD. This allows you to boot directly from the SSD without any loss of time or data. For bootable SSDs, settings need to be configured beforehand; otherwise, the SSD may experience performance loss over time.
