Can you tell me if this device is capable of duplicating (cloning) hard drives regardless of their formatting. Specifically, is this device capable of duplicating Mac, PC, Linux HDs?

Yes, it is able to duplicate "bit by bit", so it doesn't matter what format. But the destination format will be the same as the starting format, of course.

can this actually be used to connect two 3.5" HDDs to a computer via USB 3.0, and see both as separate hard drives? I do not need the standalone copy feature.

...how big can the hard disk be, will a 14TB or 16TB hard disk work and will it be recognised?

I used this with 8TB. It went without a hitch. Nothing in the manual indicates a limit.

Is it also possible to clone HDs or SSDs that "only" contain the operating system? Which HD formats (various Windows and Linux) can be cloned, are there any restrictions? Thank you for one or more answers!

The HDD / SSD to be cloned must be the same size or larger -> So far I have been able to clone the following OS ... Win 7 / Win 10 / Ubuntu / iOS -> everything has worked perfectly so far.

Would this product work to transfer a 2TB NAS HDD to an 8TB? Would it create a 2TB partition or can I use the full 8TB after cloning? Are there other products that would be better suited for my project?

This is exactly how it should work. The new HD or the target drive must be at least the same size as the source. In my case, everything was in one partition. I don't know any other products.

I had a question about the partition size of the HD. If the source is e.g. 256Gb and I put a 512Gb HD/SDD in the 2nd slot, is the 1st partition 256 or 512 Gb large (i.e. does it make a bit copy or a sector copy). This is not clearly described. If the 1st partition is then the same size, it would not be interesting. I want to use the larger hard disk! Does this only work with MBR /Windows or also with GUID/Mac?

I wanted to clone 2 hard drives with ATA/IDE connection. I have only now seen that this device is only intended for SATA. Is there a solution to still clone disks with ATA/IDE connection?

I would do it manually. I can't say whether there is a device. Since IDE is hardly produced any more, I think the device would certainly cost more than 200. If it's a large amount of HDs, I would recommend you to look for a creative sysadmin to make you a script so that you only have to connect it.

I would like to know if we can clone disks with different sizes (e.g. from 320 to 500 GB)?

Hello, the answer is yes! I had a 256GB SSD that I cloned for another SSD that had 500GB, it was a success! The software to clone the drives is not included with the dock (I think you already knew that). I hope I have been able to help you. I hope I've been able to help you. Sincerely, The_Nubbies_
