Know before you buy
No, the AC-Elite is a completely standalone unit. It operates independently, so you can perform cloning and erasing tasks without needing a PC or any additional software.
Yes, it is designed to support a wide range of drives, including M.2 PCIe (M-Key), M.2 SATA (B+M-Key), and standard 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch SATA drives. It also supports various M.2 form factors from 2230 up to 22110.
The 'System & File' mode copies only the data and partitions present on the source drive, which is faster and skips empty space. 'Whole Drive' mode performs a bit-for-bit clone of the entire drive, including hidden sectors and empty space, which is ideal for exact forensic or recovery backups.
Yes, the unit includes a 'Secure Erase' mode that complies with NIST SP 800-88 Rev 1 standards. This ensures that data is permanently wiped and unrecoverable, making it suitable for sensitive business or personal information.
The AC-Elite supports a broad range of file systems, including FAT16/32/64, NTFS, Ext2/3/4, and HFS/HFS+/HFSX. Because it operates at the hardware level, it can clone these formats regardless of the operating system used on the drive.
While the unit natively supports SATA and M.2 interfaces, it is expandable. You can use third-party adapters to connect IDE or mSATA drives to the system if needed.
