- Storage Capacity: Heavy-duty architecture supporting an impressive total volume of up to 40 TB (20 TB per bay).
- External Power: Robust external 12V/3A DC power adapter supplying steady voltage to power-hungry mechanical platters.
- Progress Monitoring: Built-in 4-stage LED matrix indicator tracking duplication status in real-time increments (25% to 100%).
Design & Thermal Engineering
The physical architecture of the UGREEN CM198 focuses heavily on heat management and longevity. Its vertical, open-air docking design exposes your bare internal drives to ambient room airflow, ensuring rapid, natural heat dissipation without relying on loud cooling fans.
The top slots feature smart, spring-loaded dust baffles that push down during drive insertion and snap shut when empty to keep internal pins clean.
Additionally, integrated non-slip rubberized feet keep the entire docking station anchored to your desktop, preventing damaging vibrations during high-RPM spinning.
Standalone Offline Cloning Performance
The crowning achievement of the UGREEN USB 3.0 to SATA Dual-Bay Hard Drive Duplicator/Cloner is its highly efficient computer-free offline cloning functionality.
By pressing the dedicated clone button, the internal controller initiates a bit-level duplicate from the source slot to the target slot without using an external PC.
This saves hours of setup time since you do not need to install complicated data migration software. A bright, 4-stage LED array tracks your progress visibly, letting you know exactly when your system drive backup is ready to deploy.
High-Speed Data Access & Connectivity
When plugged into a laptop or desktop computer, the UGREEN Hard Drive Duplicator/Cloner operates as a premium dual-bay hub with UASP-accelerated USB 3.0 transmission speeds.
This high-speed pipeline moves large chunks of information at real-world rates up to 5 Gbps, allowing you to transfer vast photo archives or raw 4K footage in minutes.
It reads and writes to both connected drives simultaneously, meaning you can drag and drop files across different disks effortlessly. This fluid performance makes it an essential tool for creators who frequently ingest video clips from multiple field recorders.
Universal Compatibility & Smart Power
This versatile data dock offers unmatched storage flexibility by accommodating both heavy 3.5-inch desktop mechanical drives and slim 2.5-inch solid-state disks.
Its smart controller supports colossal volume capacities reaching 40 TB total, meaning you can manage extreme archiving projects with ease.
To keep your drives healthy over time, the UGREEN CM198 features an intelligent 15-minute auto-sleep timer. This feature automatically spins down the internal mechanical components when data transfers cease, slashing unnecessary energy draw and significantly extending the operational lifespan of your hard drives.
