3.0 Quick Start Guide – Introduction
This chapter gives a basic overview and steps on how to perform different operations using the
SuperSonix-NG (Clone, Hash, Wipe, etc.). Complete details on each operation, menu, or
selection, and the different screens can be found in
Operation.
The SuperSonix-NG can perform up to five (5) tasks per mode of operation (specifically Clone,
Hash, and/or Wipe).
It is highly recommended to change the passwords for built-in accounts. Instructions
on how to change the passwords to the two built-in accounts can be found in
Chapter 6.

3.1 Clone

The SuperSonix-NG has three modes of operation to clone virtually any drive
(Hard Disk Drives or Solid State Drives). Drives can be cloned using Mirror (bit-
for-bit copy) or Clever (copies only data areas, skips blank sectors, and
partitions can be resized to fit larger capacity drives).

Drive to Drive – Clones a drive to one or more Target drives.

Image to Drive – Restores an image created by the SuperSonix-NG to one or more
Target drives.

Drive to Image – Creates a Logicube SuperSonix-NG image file to a target drive or
repository. This image file can be restored to drives using the Image to Drive mode.
The SuperSonix-NG imaging, hash, and wipe speeds are determined by
several factors including the following:
- The manufacturer specifications of the drive(s) being used
- The age of the drive (manufactured date)
- How often that drive has been used
For example, a 2 TB drive with 64MB of cache produced by the
manufacturer 2 years ago is most likely slower than a 2 TB drive that the
same manufacturer just released this year, even though they are both
7200RPM with 64MB of cache, and are both SATA III.
