Cloning MSXXX Drives

[sgbroimp]

Did anyone actually do this successfully, by that I mean install the cloned drive in the MS and have it boot and access its files successfully? If so, could you please share cloning device and/or software used to do so? Have tried several methods and both drives are seen but the source drive (In this case a Maxtor 300) is only seen as target, not source which it needs to be. Target is Seagate same 300 gb size.

You can use EaseUS Disk Copy. I cloned drives for all my three MS750 successfully. Or you can use Aleratec PortaCruiser duplicator (or StarTech Cn0166) if you don't want to monkey with the PC and the cabling associated with it.

Yes I have cloned at least 10 drives. I buy used Escient machines. If the drives is alive I clone them and they work well. I use a simple machine StarTeck.com. It is a stand alone machine Just plug in source drive on one side and destination drive on the other side follow the prompts and wait. It takes depending on the size 1 hour to 3 hours

Many thanks, Fellas! Doc D. - What do you do with all the Escient machines, fix the power supplies, put in better fans running 100% of the time and re-sell them?
