Steps to Clone HDD to SSD (Offline Mode – No PC Needed)

📌 Steps to Clone HDD to SSD (Offline Mode – No PC Needed)

1. Prepare the Drives

   • Remove both drives from your PC/laptop.

   • Insert the source HDD (old drive) into the "Source" slot (usually marked as A or Source).

   • Insert the target SSD into the "Target" slot (usually marked as B or Target).

2. Connect Power

   • Plug the docking station into power.

   • Do not connect it to the computer yet if you’re using offline cloning.

3. Power On the Docking Station

   • Turn on the power switch (if present).

   • Wait until both drives’ indicator lights turn on.

4. Start the Cloning Process

   • Press and hold the "Clone" button for about 3–5 seconds until the clone LED indicator starts flashing.

   • Release, then press it again briefly to confirm cloning.

5. Wait for Cloning to Finish

   • The progress LEDs (25% / 50% / 75% / 100%) will show the cloning progress.

   • Once all 4 lights are solid (100%), cloning is complete.

6. Install the SSD

   • Remove the SSD from the docking station.

   • Install it in your computer/laptop in place of the HDD.

⚠️ Important Notes:

• Capacity Rule: Your SSD must be the same size or larger than the HDD. If it’s smaller, cloning will fail unless you use software (like Macrium Reflect or Clonezilla) to shrink partitions first.

• Data Warning: Cloning will erase all data on the target SSD.

• Performance Tip: After cloning to SSD, check your BIOS/UEFI to ensure the SSD is the boot drive.
