Clone Master USB-C Axagon ADSA-CC NVMe M.2 SSD in SATA HDD

The AXAGON ADSA-CC CLONE MASTER 2 universal USB-C 10Gbps adapter connects up to two drives to your computer quickly and easily at the same time. Easily connect any 2.5" or 3.5" drive directly to the adapter's external SATA connector. Simply insert the NVMe M.2 drive into the adapter body without the use of a screwdriver or other tools. You can also connect a SATA M.2 drive to the adapter using an external adapter such as the AXAGON RSS-M2SD.

In the package you will find a USB-C <-> USB-C cable with a fixed USB-C -> USB-A reduction. This solution enhances the versatility of the adapter, so you can connect it to any USB port on your computer, whether it's a double-sided USB-C connector or a traditional USB-A connector.

Thanks to the cloning function without the need to connect to a PC, the adapter can be used as a stand-alone device for convenient duplication and disk imaging. The cloning direction is adjustable via a switch, so you can easily choose whether to clone the contents of an NVMe M.2 drive to a SATA drive or vice versa. After all the data is copied, the target disk is an exact copy of the original disk. This is the easiest way to transfer the contents of one drive to another, including a working operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux ...).

In addition to the fast USB 10Gbps interface, the adapter also supports all important functions for working seamlessly with different types of drives, such as UASP for faster data transfer, TRIM for limiting the gradual degradation of SSD performance over time, S.M.A.R.T. for monitoring the status of the drives, BOOT for the ability to boot from drives connected to the adapter, Auto Spindown to automatically put drives to sleep during prolonged inactivity, Turn Off to shut down the drives after removing the device or putting the PC to sleep, and USB Bus Power to power the adapter including connected M.2 and 2.5" drives only from the USB port. In case of connecting a 3.5" drive, the included power adapter is of course already required.

These features make the CLONE MASTER 2 adapter a very handy and useful tool for frequent work with different types of drives. This makes it an ideal helper for backup, migration, data transfer and storage, testing and cloning discs, etc.

How to use

Insert an NVMe M.2 drive into the adapter slot (supported sizes: 2242/2260/2280) or connect a 2.5"/3.5" SATA drive to the external SATA connector. If using a SATA M.2 disk, attach it via a compatible M.2→SATA adapter. Connect the adapter to your computer using the supplied USB-C cable or the USB-A reducer. For 3.5" drives, plug the included 12V/2A power adapter into the unit. For cloning without a PC, insert both source and target drives, set the cloning direction using the switch, and start the cloning process; progress is shown by blue LEDs. When finished, the target disk will be an exact copy of the source.

Recommendations

Use a target disk that has equal or larger capacity than the source. For reliable performance, connect the adapter to a USB 3.2 Gen 2 port and enable UASP if supported by the host OS. When cloning or performing long transfers, ensure stable external power for 3.5" drives and avoid disconnecting the device until LEDs indicate completion.
