USB-C 10Gbps adapter for NVMe M.2 and 2.5/3.5" SSD/HDD with cloning CLONE MASTER 2




















USB-C 10Gbps adapter for NVMe M.2 and 2.5/3.5" SSD/HDD with cloning CLONE MASTER 2
AXAGON CLONE MASTER 2 is a practical solution for backup, migration, and drive testing. Thanks to the fast USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) interface and real throughput up to about 1,000 MB/s, it handles fast data transfers. Insert an NVMe M.2 drive without screws, and connect 2.5"/3.5" SATA drives directly to the SATA port on the adapter. The cloning direction can be switched between NVMe M.2 → SATA and SATA → NVMe M.2.
For stable SSD operation, technologies include UASP for higher performance, TRIM for long-term health, and S.M.A.R.T. monitoring. The adapter supports boot from connected drives, Auto Spindown when idle, and Turn Off after device disconnection or PC sleep. USB power is sufficient for M.2 and 2.5" drives; for 3.5" HDDs, an external 12 V / 2 A adapter is included.
Main advantages:
- Fast USB-C 10Gbps interface, also compatible with USB-A (adapter included).
- Offline cloning without a PC, speeds up to ~500 MB/s.
- Wide compatibility: NVMe M.2 2242/2260/2280 and SATA 2.5"/3.5" SSD/HDD.
- Supports UASP, TRIM, S.M.A.R.T., boot, Plug & Play.
- Clear LED indicators including cloning progress (25–100%).
