Black standalone M.2 NVMe to SATA drive duplicator with top-loading SATA bay and M.2 slot

STARTECH

STARTECH N2-M2-SSD-DUPLICATOR M.2 NVMe to 2.5/3.5" SATA duplicator adapter

SKU CH-TFVT-FH8V5 MPN N2-M2-SSD-DUPLICATOR

Standalone duplicator clones M.2 NVMe and 2.5 or 3.5 inch SATA drives bidirectionally at up to 27 GB per minute without a computer, and connects via USB 3.2 for host access

  • Standalone cloning copies drives without a host computer
  • Bidirectional duplication moves data between M.2 NVMe and 2.5/3.5" SATA drives
  • USB 10Gbps host connection provides external access to both drive types
  • Supports M.2 2242, 2260, and 2280 NVMe form factors
  • Operates from 0°C to 45°C for reliable desktop use

Standalone M.2 NVMe to SATA Cloner

The StarTech N2-M2-SSD-DUPLICATOR copies data between M.2 NVMe drives and 2.5 or 3.5 inch SATA drives without a host computer. Sector-by-sector duplication runs at up to 27GB per minute. It supports M.2 2242, 2260 and 2280 form factors and works with any file format. LEDs show power, activity and cloning progress.

Check drive sizes and connection needs

The target drive must be equal to or larger than the source drive. For standalone cloning, no computer or software is required. To access drives externally, a USB 10Gbps (USB 3.2) port on the host is needed. The SATA bay accepts standard 2.5 and 3.5 inch drives. The unit operates between 0°C and 45°C.

Upgrades from software-based migration

This replaces slow, PC-dependent cloning software and separate docks. The jump is worth it when you regularly migrate OS installs or data between NVMe and SATA media. It is not suited for users who only need occasional file transfers or who require PCIe Gen4 speeds.

Questions about this item

What is included with the duplicator and what must I supply?

The unit ships with the standalone cloning dock and a USB 3.2 10Gbps cable for host connection; you must provide your own M.2 NVMe drive (2242, 2260 or 2280) and a 2.5 or 3.5 SATA SSD or HDD.

Which M.2 NVMe lengths does the slot accept?

The M.2 slot supports 2242, 2260 and 2280 form factors; choose the length that matches your NVMe drive.

What does the 27GB/min figure mean when I am cloning drives?

That is the maximum sector-by-sector copy speed in standalone mode; actual time depends on the source drive's performance and the target drive being equal to or larger than the source.
