• The capacity of the target disk (Slot B) must be equal to or greater than the capacity of the source disk (Slot A).
• Ensure both disks are free of bad sectors for a successful clone.
• All data on the target disk (Slot B) will be overwritten during the cloning process. Back up any important data from the target disk before proceeding.
