You will never regret to have one

1. To access M.2 SSD with a PC: You’re ready to go once you attach power and Type-C-C-A USB. Carefully insert the SSD into the slot(s) of your choice and push the power button on the back of the dock. Wait a few seconds, and the dock should be enumerated in Windows. Depending on the state of the SSD, you’ll either need to go to Drive Manager to initialize and format the SSD’s, or they could just pop-up in Explorer, ready to use.

2. For Standalone Duplication: Plug the target SSD into Slot B and plug the source SSD into slot A (the end were the power adapter connects). Target SSD capacity must be Larger than the Source SSD capacity. Press and hold the button for 3-5 seconds to begin the clone process. LED’s on the front top of the dock indicate clone progress – 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%.

Warm Tips

• Check if your SSD interface is clean before inserting into slot.
• Insert and remove your SSD carefully only when the power is off.
• Do not tilt or bend your SSD during its installation or removal. Never force it into the slot.
• When using or duplicating a drive, especially a large one, it’s best to use with a cooling fan for better heat dissipation.
• A brand new SSD needs to be formatted and initialized on the computer before it can be used.
• It only supports NVMe to NVMe clone or SATA to SATA clone, not support NVMe to SATA clone.

Supported SSD:

FIDECO NVMe SATA SSD Docking Station can support M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD with M-Key or M+B Key and M.2 SATA SSD with M+B Key. The supported M.2 SSD sizes are 2230/2242/2260/2280/22110. Just one dual NVMe SATA SSD dock can meet your needs of using different sizes of SSDs.

Connecting steps:

Step 1

1. Before cloning, disconnect the USB cable from the device.

2. Plug the source M2.NVME SSD in Slot A and the target M2.NVME SSD in Slot B.

Note: The capacity of Target SSD needs Larger than the source SSD. Target>Source

Step 2

1. Connect the power adapter to the enclosure

2. Press the power button.

3. Hold the clone button for 3-5 seconds until LED indicator begins to flash.

Step 3

The LED indicators show the cloning process from 25%,50%,75% and 100%.

When all four LEDs stop flashing, the cloning is finished. This process may take a long time which mainly depends on the capacity of SSD.

What you will get?

• 1 PCS M.2 SSD duplicator
• 1PCS USB C-C/A Cable
• 1PCS 5V3A Power adapter
• User Manual

FAQ

Q1: Why does the clone operation quit immediately?

This happens mainly for two different reasons:

(1) the target drive is new and has not been initialized, or (2) the target drive is smaller than the cloned drive.

When cloning is started, the device checks the source and target drives. If the target is not initialized or is smaller than the source, the cloning operation is aborted.

Solutions:

If the SSD is new, it needs to be formatted and initialized before it can be used.

1) Connect the device to a computer.

2) Right-click This PC -> Management -> Disk Management.

3) Right-click the target drive (the one that shows as uninitialized), and select Initialize from the drop-down menu.

4) Disconnect the device from the computer, and try cloning again.

Q2: Does the M2288 with power adapter?

Yes, M2288 comes with 5V3A power adapter.

Q3: How  long does each clone take?

Clone 256GB M.2 SSD to 2TB SSD about 4 minutes as tested.
