Is there a way of cloning a drive 1 to 1 (or sector by sector) preferably a dock station?
I have 2 instances that I would like to copy a drive exactly over to a new drive.
1.) I have a WD Sharespace NAS that has 4 drives in a RAID 0 config. This drive was mostly for movies that I could reload onto another drive (hence the RAID 0 for space over redundancy), but I do have some other files that I had to store on there from a cloud service that shut down with little notice. Due to power flickers, one drive light has turned amber noting a drive going bad.
2.) I have an old desktop that has one drive in a 2 drive RAID 0 that has given me S.M.A.R.T. error saying it's failing. This RAID 0 array is my boot drives.
Is it possible to get a 2 drive docking station of sorts, where I can put the failing drive in one slot, and a brand new drive in the second slot and do an exact copy of the old drive to a new one and be able to plug the new drive into the device the old one came out of and have it operate like the original drive?
i.E.:
Take the failing drive from the RAID 0 boot drives out of the desktop, place it in slot 1 of the dock station. Put a new drive of the same size in slot 2 of the dock station. Do the steps to needed to make an exact copy of the drive in slot 1 to the new drive in slot 2. After the clone, be able to take the drive in slot 2 and put it into the desktop and have it operate as the original did.
