Comments about Aleratec 1:1 Hard Disk Drive PortaCruiser:
This great little unit has already allowed me to recover data from and repair a SATA laptop drive, SATA 3.5" drive and a PATA 3.5" drive. All within my first few weeks of use. Great device.
Haven't used the copy or RAID functions yet, but I'm sure they're just as straightforward.
Highly recommend it!!

Comments about Aleratec 1:1 Hard Disk Drive PortaCruiser:
It works. We use it to clone 1TB sata-ii drives, all seagate. It takes ~5.5 hours to do this. It claims it can do 66.6MBps on paper. USB is slow, maxes out @ 26MBps. Except for label, it's the same as the Startech branded one. Pretty easy to use, has a verify function. Probably would have purchased a Kanguru mini instead.
