Customer Ratings & Reviews

Software took over 4 hours to clone a 500 GB disk and then the clone would not boot.

I want to connect the 3.5' sata hard drive but this item don't connect my hard drive.

The software will not transfer Windows 10. Customer service was useless.

It did not work as Advertised would never use any of their products again

My external hard drive is dead - my it rest in pieces!

I could have gotten something better than pny but I still bought it. Price match

Tried the product after a mother board failure. Would have made life must simpler if it worked

I couldn't get it to work... I went over the instructions quite a few times.

It dd not work the way the clerk told me it would. Not happy about it at all wasted my money.

Who knows, I returned it because it wasn't compatible with windows 10

The wire stopped working a few weeks later I bought it

The clerk said this was what I needed, but it wasn't

Purchased to upgrade a Win10 laptop from 500gb to 1TB. The supplied CD wouldn't boot, but a CD produced by the program after installation did. Easy workaround. Unexpectedly, the Apricorn cable does NOT make an attached drive appear as a typical USB drive, so its only purpose is cloning. It would be nicer if it could also serve that "dual purpose". The cloning ran for 1.75 hours, encountered some bad blocks on the source and stopped, declaring that the cloning failed. The resulting drive wasn't bootable. (since the cable didn't act as an external USB drive, i wasn't able to see if it was mountable or had any usable data). If the source drive had been perfect, i'm certainly willing to believe that the clone operation would have been successful. But it wasn't, and rescuing systems from beginning disk failure would be one of my primary uses for such a system. (see Clonezilla, below) I was finally able to perform my transfer with Windows' System Image function to an external USB drive, then from the USB drive back into the blank 1 TB drive. System Image also hit the bad blocks and declared a problem, but at least the resulting System Image file did successfully create a fully functional system. If i were to try this as a Clone operation again, i'd revert to my old techniques of using the free Clonezilla package for the Clone (it *can* survive bad blocks on the source drive, and handles them intelligently) and an external USB drive carrier. The only reason i tried the Apricorn system was seeing it included (without cable) with some Western Digital retail kits. Oh, well, a cheap experiment.

This was a waste of my money. The USB could not power the SDD.

It did not work for me and best buy would not take it back.

not really worth buying it, it ended up just sitting there

Same part number, package includes the cable and CD as pictured. It works. Just one thing: The instructions really need to advise running a full "Check Disk" on the source drive first, with both options checked ("automatically fix file system errors" and "scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors"). At the end of my first cloning attempt it errored out because it found bad sectors. Had to fix those and rerun the software. The second time it worked without a hitch and I'm up and running on a new disk drive. Run a "check disk" by opening Computer, select the drive, select Tools tab, click Check Now and then BOTH options. Then reboot, grab coffee or something and wait for an hour or so, if you've got a big drive. I'm giving this product 5 stars because of past professional experience with cloning and "bare-metal recovery". As an IT tech and enterprise manager of 30+ years, I'm very impressed with this user-level product priced less than a fourth of what this capability used to cost. Acronis will cost you $10-$20 more without the necessary cable or box for the new drive. Granted this doesn't have a full list of options (and "select data" is limited, as apparently you cannot discretely select individual folders and files, just the "My" stuff), but for the advertised purpose it's right on the money. If you need to copy an entire 2.5" hard drive for full backup or hardware replacement, this will do exactly that.

I tried to pull data from hard drive. But it did not work at all.

Even with a store inservice, nope doesn't work! :(

This item was not able to do what the store rep said.
