8. FAQ
Q : Is it possible to copy data between 2 HDDs with different capacities?
A : It is possible. If the capacity of the Destination Disk is larger than the Source Disk, then all of the data
can be copied and the unused space on the Destination Disk will remain as an unallocated partition.
If the capacity of the Destination Disk is smaller than the Source Disk, then not all of the data can be
copied. When the Destination Disk is full, the copying process will be stopped.
Q : If my Destination Disk is larger than the Source Disk, what will happen to the remaining space
after the copy process?
A : With Copy Mode, you can copy the partition of the HDD perfectly as it is. E.g. if you copy the data
from a 40GB HDD to a 80GB HDD, 40GB of data will be copied to the Destination Drive and the
remaining 40GB on the Destination Drive will be left as unallocated space.
Q : Is it possible to copy data between two HDDs with different RPMs and transfer rates?
A : It is possible. This product supports copying data between SATA1 and SATA2, SATA1.5Gbps and
SATA3.0Gbps. It also supports copying between USB and eSATA.
Q : For copying is it possible to use an HDD with bad sectors?
A : The miniClone cannot read any partitions which cannot be read by a PC. It is possible to copy only
the readable data while skipping the unreadable parts to an HDD with no bad sectors.
Q : Can I copy data using two hard drives that are the same capacity but were produced by
different manufacturers?
A : Yes. Even though the both HDDs are the same capacity, you may receive a Capacity Mismatch error.
There may be a small difference in capacity depending on the HDD manufacturer.
Q : Is it possible to copy a HDD with SCSI or Serial SCSI?
A : This product does not support SCSI and Serial SCSI.
Q : Is it possible to make a copy of my PC’s hard drive through Device Mode?
A : When connecting through Device Mode, it may not be possible to copy your entire PC’s hard drive.
It may be necessary to remove the HDD from your computer and connect it directly to the miniClone.
