Where to buy
The AXAGON ADSA-CC CLONE MASTER 2 universal USB-C 10Gbps adapter connects up to two drives to your computer quickly and easily at the same time. Easily connect any 2.5" or 3.5" drive directly to the adapter's external SATA connector. Simply insert the NVMe M.2 drive into the adapter body without the use of a screwdriver or other tools. You can also connect a SATA M.2 drive to the adapter using an external adapter such as the AXAGON RSS-M2SD.
In the package you will find a USB-C <-> USB-C cable with a fixed USB-C -> USB-A reduction. This solution enhances the versatility of the adapter, so you can connect it to any USB port on your computer, whether it's a double-sided USB-C connector or a traditional USB-A connector.
Thanks to the cloning function without the need to connect to a PC, the adapter can be used as a stand-alone device for convenient duplication and disk imaging. The cloning direction is adjustable via a switch, so you can easily choose whether to clone the contents of an NVMe M.2 drive to a SATA drive or vice versa. After all the data is copied, the target disk is an exact copy of the original disk. This is the easiest way to transfer the contents of one drive to another, including a working operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux ...).
In addition to the fast USB 10Gbps interface, the adapter also supports all important functions for working seamlessly with different types of drives, such as UASP for faster data transfer, TRIM for limiting the gradual degradation of SSD performance over time, S.M.A.R.T. for monitoring the status of the drives, BOOT for the ability to boot from drives connected to the adapter, Auto Spindown to automatically put drives to sleep during prolonged inactivity, Turn Off to shut down the drives after removing the device or putting the PC to sleep, and USB Bus Power to power the adapter including connected M.2 and 2.5" drives only from the USB port. In case of connecting a 3.5" drive, the included power adapter is of course already required.
These features make the CLONE MASTER 2 adapter a very handy and useful tool for frequent work with different types of drives. This makes it an ideal helper for backup, migration, data transfer and storage, testing and cloning discs, etc.

FAQ
A): Drivers are included with operating systems and are installed completely automatically. The external box (adapter / docking station) is detected as a standard storage device, such as a USB flash disk, no additional drivers are needed.
B): No other drivers need to be installed and are not even available. If you continue to have problems with your external box (adapter / docking station), check out more tips that can help you troubleshoot problems.
A): If the external box (adapter / docking station) is not displayed in "Device Manager", there may be a USB port malfunction. It is also possible that your computer has a poor power supply to USB ports and the power is not sufficient to operate an external box (you can detect by listening that HDD is not spinning). This is a problem especially for older computers, where the source part already works at the limit of its parameters. In this case, it would help to use a USB hub, with an auxiliary power supply, by which the external box (adapter / docking station) would be connected to the computer.
B): Try plugging the external box (adapter / docking station) into another USB port, preferably on the back of your PC. The external box (adapter / docking station) should be detected and the drivers loaded automatically. If the problem persists, plug the external box (adapter / docking station) into the USB port of another computer to verify its functionality.
A): If this happens, it means that the operating system failed to get the necessary information to install the drivers.
B): The cause may be a defective USB cable or damaged device. If the problem persists, plug the external box (adapter / docking station) into the USB port of another computer to verify its functionality.
A): If this happens, it means that the Windows operating system did not assign a drive letter to the new storage device.
B): If the drive letter is not assigned, open "Disk Management", right-click on the desired drive and manually assign the drive letter. If the drive letter can not be assigned to the disk, it is possible that the disk is formatted as "dynamic". If you want to keep disk data, connect it to the original device and make a backup of the disk. Then convert it to a normal disk, initialize it to MBR (or GPT, see other points), and then perform Low Level Format (e.g. using the Low Level Format Tool)
A): The newly purchased disk must be initialized before first use.
B): If the new disk is not initialized automatically, open "Disk Management", right-click on the desired disk and initialize it.
A): By initializing the disk, you can set the mode in which the hard disk will work.
B): You can use the partition with the master boot record (MBR) or the GUID partition table (GPT). For disk up to 2TB, use the MBR option, we recommend selecting GPT on a larger disk than 2TB. Subsequently, the initialized disk should be formatted.
A): If the external box (adapter / docking station) with a 3.5“ HDD is not displayed in "Device Manager ", the inserted disk may not be powered.
B): Make sure you have the power supply plugged in and the external box (adapter / docking station) turned on with the power switch. If the disk is properly powered, it should spin (can be detected by listening).
A): The AXAGON external boxes (adapters / docking stations) are always equipped with the latest firmware to support disks of all capacities.
B): The 2TB limit is given as the maximum partition size when initializing a disk with the master boot record (MBR). If you want to create a larger partition on the HDD stored in the external box (e.g. 3TB or more), you must select the GUID partition table (GPT) when initializing the disk. Subsequently, the initialized disk should be formatted.
A): The external AXAGON boxes (adapters / docking stations) support the USB Mass Storage protocol making it easy to connect to TV.
B): When using a disk larger than 2TB, some TVs do not support GPT format. In such case, MBR format must be used when initializing a disk.
A): For proper spin-down setting, this feature must be supported by all components that are in the path between the operating system and the HDD, i.e. the USB controller, box electronics, and the disk itself. The spinning down of idle disks is set up by the operating system, but it is very complicated.
B): We recommend setting up using one of the freeware programs, where the procedure is mostly simplified. E.g. by HDDScan (http://hddscan.com/). The program has the ability to verify whether the disk and all components in the path support the feature. Select "Spindown" to test an immediate spin down of the disk. Set up the spindown time using a slider in the "Power Management" section.
