    Driver Installation No driver installation is required for any supported operating system, as this hard drive dock is natively supported, so the drivers are already installed. How to Use Menu Options Copy HDD • Perform a 1:1 sector clone from the Source disk to the Destination disk. Each disk sector on the Source disk will be copied, regardless if it contains data or not.
  • Page 9 Compare HDD • Compares the sectors on the Source disk to the Destination disk. Used to ensure that the Copy operation was successful. Pre-scan • Scans the Source disk for bad sectors/blocks and reports the errors. Rescan Bus • Rescans the hard drive connectors on the duplicator dock to detect new/swapped drives. Source Size • Displays the total storage capacity of the Source disk.

The LCD screen will display transfer rates, progress percentage, amount of data copied and a countdown timer.
