You can still repartition and format that partition as extra logical drive.

To do it you need software, I use Acronis, then you have pull your computer out, open the case, find cables for the hard drives, find the power connectors and then connect the drives and then you can start the cloning process after you start up the program.

I can remember one computer I used for this wouldnt recognize my USB mouse and I had a dig out an ancient PS2 ball mouse to use with Acronis, it was just all a big hassle really.

I did it that way for many years and I didnt like it, there had to be an easier way and there really wasnt until now.

Today for review Ive got a product that I just love and I think its something that we should have had long ago as its one of those things thats very much needed to make life simpler.

Kingwin has recently introduced the EZ-Clone which is a tiny hard drive duplicator, with the press of a button you can clone a hard drive very easily.

The EZ-Clone can also be used as an external drive to connect to your computer over USB 3.0, so its dual use really.

The EZ-Clone adapter provides support for two SATA (SSD or HDD) drives and one IDE hard drive in 2.5 or 3.5 form factors.

Access up to two external drives at the same time (two SATA drives or one IDE and one SATA drive) when connected to the PC.

The EZ-Clone also works as a standalone disk duplicator (IDE to SATA, or SATA to SATA) while disconnected to the PC.

Easy to Connect Connecting the external drives is simple and easy.

The EZ-Clone adapter comes with following drive interface: IDE Source for connecting a 3.5 IDE drive.

SATA1 Source for connecting a 3.5 or 2.5 SATA drive.

SATA2 Target for connecting a second 3.5 or 2.5 SATA drive.

NOTE: You cannot connect to the IDE Source and SATA1 Source at the same time.

Only the IDE drive will be detected if both source drives are attached at the same time.

Connect the SATA drive to the SATA2 Target interface to access IDE and SATA drive at the same time.

Box includes a 3.5 to 2.5 IDE converter board to support 2.5 IDE drive.

Simply attach the IDE power and IDESATA drives, connect the 12V DC power adapter, turn on the adapter power switch, and plug the USB cable into your computer and the drives are automatically recognized.

You can choose to connect just one IDE drive, or one SATA drive, or one IDE and one SATA drive, or two SATA drives.

The EZ-Clone adapter has an IDESATA1 and SATA2 LEDs which will turn red when the drives are detected properly.

You can also hot-swap SATA hard drives while the USB is plugged into the computer.

SuperSpeed USB 3.0 (10X Faster) SuperSpeed USB 3.0 PC interface offers 10X faster performance (5Gbps) over Hi-Speed USB 2.0 (480Mbps) while still retaining backward compatibility and interoperability with all PC USB ports and devices.

SuperSpeed USB 3.0 also works well with the latest Windows 8 and Mac OS X with no driver installation needed.

USB plug-and-play allows the drives to be detected easily without needing to restart the computer.

Standalone Disk Duplicator Another unique feature of the EZ-Clone is the stand-alone disk cloning feature that allows you to duplicate or clone the entire IDE or SATA source drive to another faster or larger SATA drive without having to connect to a computer.

Simply attached the IDE or SATA source drive and the new SATA drive to the SATA2 Target connector, then turn on the EZ-Clone power and press the CLONE button for 3 seconds to begin the cloning process.

The EZ-Clone has 4 progress LEDs (25, 50, 75, 100) that will turn blue to indicate the completed percentage of the clone process.

The result is two identical drives containing the same files, boot sector, partition table and file system format.
