3. 사용 설명서

3.1 드라이브 호환성

The SATDOCK4U3RE is compatible with a wide range of drives:

• SATA 드라이브: Supports 2.5" SSD/HDD and 3.5" HDD.
• IDE 드라이브: Supports 2.5" HDD and 3.5" HDD using the included IDE to SATA adapter.

3.2 Duplication Modes

The device supports standalone 1:3 sector-by-sector duplication, meaning it copies every sector from the source drive to the destination drives, including hidden partitions and empty space. The target drives must be equal to or larger in capacity than the source drive.

3.3 Erase Modes

The SATDOCK4U3RE offers various erase modes to securely wipe data:

• 빠른 지우기: A fast solution that removes partition tables and the first portions of the disk, leaving it in an uninitialized state. Data may be recoverable with software tools.
• Secure Erase (NIST SP 800-88 Rev 1 Purge): This mode uses erase functions executed by the drives themselves to overwrite sectors with zeros, making data recovery extremely difficult. This method is compliant with NIST SP 800-88 Rev 1 standards.

3.4 Standalone Operation & Host Connection

The duplicator can operate completely standalone, meaning no computer is required for cloning or erasing tasks. However, it can also connect to a host PC via USB 3.0 or eSATA to function as a multi-bay docking station for file transfer and data access.

3.5 Hot-Swapping

The SATDOCK4U3RE supports hot-swapping of drives when connected to a host computer. This means drives can be inserted or removed without requiring a power cycle of the dock or PC. However, be aware that adjacent bays may momentarily reset to re-detect removed or added drives. Do not swap media if an adjacent drive is actively transferring data to or from your PC in dock mode.

5. 문제 해결

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with the SATDOCK4U3RE. For more detailed troubleshooting, refer to the Q&A video in Section 3.6 or the official StarTech.com support resources.

5.1 일반적인 문제 및 해결 방법

• Duplication Failure (Target Drive Size): If duplication fails, ensure the destination drive(s) have a capacity equal to or greater than the source drive. Sector-by-sector cloning requires this.
• Inaccessible Duplicated Data (Encrypted Drives): It is not recommended to duplicate encrypted drives (e.g., BitLocker). The duplicated data may become inaccessible or unreadable. Decrypt the drive before duplication if possible.
• 오류 표시기: The LCD display and multi-function LEDs provide status and error codes. Consult the device's display for specific error messages and refer to the full product manual on the StarTech.com website for detailed explanations of error codes.
• 드라이브가 감지되지 않음: Ensure drives are properly seated in their bays. Check all cable connections (power, USB, eSATA). If using an adapter (IDE, mSATA, M.2), ensure it is correctly installed and connected.
• 느린 성능: Duplication/erase speeds can be influenced by the specifications and overall health of the drives themselves. Ensure drives are in good condition.
