AXAGON Docking Station ADSA-M2C, USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 - 2x M.2 NVMe SSD CLONE MASTER

The AXAGON ADSA-M2C DUAL NVMe CLONE MASTER DOCK SuperSpeed USB-C 10 Gbps docking station quickly and easily connects up to two NVMe (PCI-Express) M.2 SSD disks to your computer. Comfortable connection allows reversible USB-C connector. You will find two cables to connect the box in the package - standard USB-C -> USB-A cable and also USB-C -> USB-C cable.

This little helper will give you the easiest and fastest way to connect up to two NVMe M.2 SSDs to your computer. You just take the M.2 card and insert it into the base, no tools or accessories are needed. Replacing M.2 SSDs is very fast and easy.

You can also use the docking station to easily clone the contents of connected NVMe disks without the need to connect to a PC. Insert the source M.2 disk into the first slot of the station (source) and insert the target M.2 disk into the second slot (target). Then you just press the clone button and watch the cloning process on a scale of four LEDs. After all the data has been copied, there is an exact copy of the original M.2 disk on the destination disk. The dock can thus be used as an autonomous device for convenient duplication and disk image creation. This is the easiest way to transfer the contents of one SSD to another SSD, including a working operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux...).

Fast USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface and NVMe Express support with UASP function support allow you to enjoy the speed of modern NVMe M.2 SSD disks. TRIM support to reduce gradual degradation of SSD performance over time. Reading S.M.A.R.T. information monitoring the condition of the connected disks.

Low docking station centre of gravity is for good stability. Rubber anti-slip pads prevent sliding on the table. Modern minimalist design of aluminum body.

Input:

• USB 3.2 Gen 2 (USB 3.1 Gen 2) SuperSpeed USB 10 Gbps transmission rates up to 10 Gbit/s.
• Connection via USB type C female connector.

Device support:

• NVMe (PCI-Express) M.2 SSD disks, one-sided and double-sided, no capacity limitation,

• Supports M-KEY NVMe M.2 SSD disks,
• NGFF 75-pin M-key slot for NVMe M.2 disks.

Disk cloning feature:

• Cloning takes place without connecting the station to a computer.
• The target disk must have the same or larger capacity as the source disk, otherwise cloning cannot be started.
• Cloning speed up to 1000 MB/s.
• The total disk cloning time depends on the capacity of the source disk, not the amount of disk data.
