I don't care if it gets the job done super easy. It certainly also depends on which kind of drives you clone (HDD or SSD).

No

dd

actually.. nope, no.
if you got a lot of shit on the drive, its fastest method. Cant larger to smaller but, obv.

>ELECTRONICS WORK BY MAGIC SURELY THIS DEVICE HAS NO SOFTWARE ON IT

>huurrr look at what a smartass I am

just use dd

sudo dd if=/dev/sd(a) of=/media/backupdrive/backup(date).img BS=1M conv=noerror,sync status=progress

Here. Simple.

What if you don't have computer at your hands? That Icy Box works without one.

You want to make a backup of a computer without access to said computer?

Well, yeah. You get more options when you go software.

>he spends $80 on a box rather than type dd into a terminal

I have some magic beans if you’re interested.

Yeah.

>HDDs
exchanging spinning magnetic discs
>SSDs
exchanging flash storage

No it doesn't. It needs a computer. It just happens to be built in.

You are correct. Here's your (You).

What if you don't have a fucking working screen? Ever thought about that?

then why bother cloning? it's not like you're going to be able to use it anyway

Well, maybe I want to get rid of the old harddisk and still keep the data?

turn the thing off and wait until you have a working monitor then. that or use ssh to login and do the copy using something else.

Just use dd

SSH in you fool

why the fuck would I have a drive cloner at my fingertips more often than a fucking computer?

You think OP's pic does that? Think again.

Well, you can't be sure whether your system is fucking compromised, don't you? Certainly not a problem with Icy Box.

What's wrong with CloneZilla?

>compromised
lol fuck off
unplug the fucking ethernet if you're scared

>Cloning individual drives
>Not deploying via LAN to 48 pcs per switch at the same time

What's wrong with Etcher?

the result of that is not cloning

What's wrong with dd?

It's a fuckup?

>muh dd
You don't get it. You're like a person who wonders why someone uses a toaster instead of an oven. That Icy Box makes it as simple as possible: Just stick the drives in there and push a button.

would never trust one of these.

chance it fucks up is much higher than your motherboard and OS.

>let's think of a way to make people pay for what they use to do for free
Yeah and what if I don't want to just copy? What if I want to partition, convert filesystems in the process? What's the fucking point of this crap?

simplicity
bullshit

Macrium reflect

>dd is too hard
wew lad

my preferred pronouns are "xiaomi" and " contents : gift "

A whistle noise or a wet fart will prevent this from becoming a hate crime.

Simplicity at the cost of flexibility is the shittiest deal ever. Banana cutter tier tool.
