The only reason to get that thing that I can see is if you were a field tech making site visits.maybe? No one here would use such a thing so you are probably just confusing people with the "software vs.


That it does 1:1 replicas of drives doesn't make it special, lots of PC cloning software does that too.

The link to the hardware based cloning device you posted is still using software to clone, it just doesn't require a PC in the middle.
