Apricorn DriveWire - Cloning Made Easy Via USB

  December 28th, 2007

Filed under External Hard Drives & Other USB Storage

No, we aren't talking about sheep or cats, but your hard drive. Most of us have replaced a hard drive and hated that a reinstall of the OS and everything else was forced upon us. Usually only businesses have the software to clone your old drive to the new, such as Symantec Ghost. Apricorn seeks to change that, by bundling their DriveWire universal hard drive adapter with their EZ Gig II cloning software.

The DriveWire HDD adapter works just many of the adapters available on the market today allowing you to connect any drive, SATA or PATA to your computer via USB and access the data on the drive. What makes this setup so special is their EZ Gig II software that is a bootable CD and lets you clone the drive connected via the HDD adapter. To top it all off, it doesn't matter what OS you are running since it you boot from a CD and aren't interfacing at all with your currently installed OS.

This is great and all if you need the ability to clone a drive but very few of us do and we often have other ways of doing what is needed. If you are simply looking for a SATA HDD adapter for your desk, GeekStuff4U and Logitec probably have better offerings for you and they'll look a lot better sitting there too.
