This device combines the functionality of a USB read/write docking station for various formats with the function of a standalone offline duplicator for SATA and NVMe storage media.
In "Connected to a computer" mode, it allows direct access to M.2 NVMe SSDs, M.2 SATA SSDs, mSATA SSDs, and 2.5" and 3.5" SATA hard drives. The host connection is based on a USB Type-C interface according to USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (20 Gbps).
In standalone mode, without connecting to a computer, the device allows direct hardware cloning between two storage media of the same protocol without software or system intervention.
Compatibility:
Storage media supported: M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen3/Gen4 SSDs, M.2 SATA NGFF SSDs, mSATA SSDs, 2.5" SATA SSDs, 2.5" and 3.5" SATA hard drives.
Support M.2 formats: 2230, 2242, 2260, 2280, 22110
Compatible with USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (20Gbps) and USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 (10Gbps).
Supports Windows, macOS, Linux...
Technical description:

Read/write access via USB interface.
Autonomous offline cloning.
Direct duplication from storage media to storage media.
USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Host Interface (USB Type C) 20Gbps
Cables included: 1 x USB Type C to Type C, 1 x USB Type A to Type C.
The specified measured performance scores reach 1.69 GB/s reading and 1.59 GB/s writing to NVMe storage media, as well as up to 529 MB/s reading and 487 MB/s writing to SATA storage media, depending on the storage media used, host interface and system environment.
3 separate source/destination interfaces: 1 x NVMe and SATA compatible M.2 socket, 1 x mSATA socket, 1 x 22-pin SATA connector (7+15).
External power supply: 12 V / 3 A.
Aluminum housing, passive cooling by heat dissipation through the housing.
Cloning function:
Cloning is done offline, without connecting to a computer, via an integrated hardware controller and is triggered by physical button.
Supported clone protocols:
NVMe to NVMe,
M.2 SATA to M.2 SATA,
mSATA to mSATA,
SATA to SATA,
M.2 SATA to mSATA,
mSATA to SATA,
M.2 SATA to SATA
The clone controller does not perform protocol conversion (not supported examples: NVMe to SATA, SATA to NVMe, mSATA to NVMe).
