3.2 Requirements
The SuperDuper Hard Drive Duplicating Unit supports parallel ATA and SATA
hard drives.
3.3 Introduction
The SuperDuper Hard Drive Duplicating Unit is designed to simultaneously copy
information from an external source drive to each of the 8 destination (target)
drives attached. It provides physical connections for both parallel and serial
drives. The architecture also provides a separate data bus for each drive, 9 in
all. This multiple bus architecture allows the hardware to transfer data directly
from the source drive to each of the target drives without the need for any
software buffering, resulting in the fastest data transfer possible. The primary
operations that are supported include the following:
●
Clone Drive – Performs a sector-by-sector copy of the entire source drive to
each of the target drives.
●
Verify Drives – Performs a sector-by-sector verify of the data stored on each
of the target drives.
●
Wipe Drives – Writes an all zeros data pattern to each of the target drives.
3.3.1 Features
The SuperDuper product is designed to operate with drives (up to 2TB) that
support either 28 or 48 bit addressing and both PIO and UDMA data transfer
modes. In addition, it automatically detects the drive type (ATA/SATA) and the
drive address (Master/Slave) for both the source and each of the 8 target drives.
