What Is Disk Clone?

Disk clone, sometimes also called disk image, disk copy, or disk backup, is to mirror a hard drive and save the new mirror image on another physical hard disk. The original source hard disk is still there and workable.

HDD clone is used to move data (in most situations) and system from small old drive to larger new advanced disk, thus improving hard disk performance like higher read and write speed.

Strictly, HDD clone is more convenient than HDD backup. Users can get access to data or system right after clone while they can’t after backup. Only when the backup image is restored to the original location or another location can users be allowed to use the data or system. To learn more about them, please go to the Overview page
