OWC Drive dock




I need to clone and recover. Not bulk hot swapping.
Still reading.

Okay found Dual Thunderbolt ports on OWC.
Does Solid State Drives.

The big difference in the first sentences: one connects via TB2 or USB 3.1 - the other USB 3.0. Also one is INSANELY expensive and the other, merely expensive.

I found this on ebay for $11.50 + $11.50 shipping - I suspect it's exactly the same as the cheap one you posted. But I don't use the duplicating feature.

This.

Clone from one drive to another? Or just clone from a computer to a drive?

Dozens of models on amazon or newegg, many under $30, and a huge mass @ $30-40

I ordered one rated for 12 TB from Newegg last week when they had a sale, $18. Supposed to get here today. My old one runs at USB 2 speeds with drives of 8 TB or larger.

oh crap - I just bought a 10GB drive - didn't occur to me that my cases may not be compatible

If this is the same model, says 8TB -- but Im thinking if it takes 8 it can take 10.

I want to put the drive into a LaCie TB case that shipped with dual 3TB drives installed - they went as high as dual 4TB drives when I got this one.

Could have spent less now and some more later.
Good tech support and a neat gimmick for IDE.
