Can you copy data from one HD to the other HD in this Case ? What kind of speeds are you getting when you do this?

Yes, on the U3 model, but not on the RU3 (Raid) model. Both drives are visible in my program "USB Safely Remove" shows both drives as one USB 3 port.

Yes,It can copy data from one HD to the other HD. USB 3.0 Transfer Rates Up to 5Gbps , Reverse compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices.Thank you!

Honestly, I haven't tried it myself, but I don't see why you can't. It's just an enclosure. Since I haven't done it myself, I can't quite answer your second question also. Though when connected to a USB 3.0 port on my computer, I get speeds around 50mb/s.

Yes... Since its not a RAID enclosure, you can copy from one drive to the other from within. You get normal SATA 3G speeds when doing this.

Hi Bandi, Technically, your drive is capable of making disk-to-host transfers of up to 110 MB/s, and USB 2.0 maxes out at 60 MB/s, where USB 3.0 maxes at around 125 MB/s. Your drive will probably never reach 110 MB/s, but I would suggest using a USB 3.0 enclosure so that your drive can run as fast as it pleases. Besides, at some point you'll probably upgrade even your "backup drive", and you'll want the speed. On a personal note, I love this enclosure. You'll need to buy some little rubber feet from the hardware store to keep it from sliding around, but other than that, it's great! Jack

Yes. I found out just the other day. You need to format the Target Drive before duplication. I did mine, took forever but, No Errors !

Holy Crap! It takes an HOUR or more??? I have a 750GB HD that is probably two thirds full, and when I connect it, it takes like a MINUTE, maybe TWO!!! Sounds like you have a crappy drive, or some other problem!

Yes you can, its like having two hard drives connected independently only via the same cable.

no you will need to buy that separate or buy a hard drive enclosure, i personally purchased one that is 3.0 usb for faster transfer speed.

I'm not an expert on the program, but i use 2 seperate HDD's with it and it caches/works for both of them at the same time if that's what you mean. If you're asking if there is a way so it only works for the 2 HDDs and not the SSD's, I'm not sure.

No....unless you turn on folder duplication which will eat up storage space. I used to have a Drobo, had stability issues with it, bought the AH340, felt that it was too slow transferring files (based on CPU load) and ended up buying an HP EX495 which is the bees knees

I have no experience with HD. I would ask your question on an HD forum. There, I bet you would get an answer. Good luck!

If you are using an older machine that does not have USB 3.0 support the slower transfer rate can cause an issues such as this and there is no fix. If you are using a USB 3.0 port make sure your motherboard drivers and bois settings are up to date. After trying all this if the drive continues not to perform to your expectations I would exchange it for a different one.

You can use the cable that came with the drive (actually, you have to since USB 3.0 has one different end). It will automatically transfer data at 2.0 speeds.

Absolutely. Use Carbon Copy Cloner and that will work great. However, I would just take the old HDD and stick it in a drawer as a backup drive, get another SSD and use it as external super fast storage.

I transferred 750GB HD from a MacBook Pro to a 1TB Hybrid drive. It claimed it was going to take 2 days 9 hours using the Macs own OS but it actually took around 14 hours or so to transfer all the data and OS.

Yes, just be sure you do not install any programs on the drive or they may not run. If you are using the 2nd drive just for data it should be fine.

We have not tried to copy any HD discs. The unit does not show any documentation of HD so I feel it would not copy hd files

Sorry, but I'm not sure... I used 2 hdd 2.5 512 GB mirroring, for a year works fine, then one hdd die, but all the data was perfect at the other hdd. we can't see the rebuilding status, just the hardware swith.

The drive is used for dvd backups and picture storage. When the old drive failed, I purchased another USB 3.0. That didn't help. I recovered almost 1 TB in two days. Then, since I had not yet received the new 3.0 card, I tried using the USB 2.0 to transfer from another backup (a western digital) to the Seagate. In 3 days, I moved about 300 Gb. That was left on 24 hours, too. After I got and installed the new 3.0 (I still doubted the old one), all remaing 500 plus Gb moved in less than 3 hours!. I never measured or recorded the speed. And the old 3.0 USB worked similarly.
