Product Description: EZ Upgrade makes upgrading your PATA/IDE or SATA notebook hard drive easy. This innovative kit includes all the hardware and software needed to painlessly transfer all the data from an old PATA/IDE or SATA notebook hard drive to a new hard drive. Disk Clone creates an exact copy of the original hard drive including the operating system, files, folders favorites and system settings. A cloned copy of a hard drive can be used for disaster recovery backup, or as a hard drive upgrade. Disk Image takes a snapshot of your entire system and compresses it into a file up to half its original size. This method takes up less space, thus allowing multiple backups to a single drive. The Image option also allows restoration of individual files or folders and a password to be assigned to a backup image, providing security for your data. A detailed description for each image can be entered giving the user total flexibility to retain backups from multiple dates, or multiple computers. ShirtPocket SuperDuper! for Mac is a highly acclaimed program that makes recovery painless, because it makes creating a fully bootable backup painless. Its incredibly clear, friendly interface is understandable, easy to use. It runs beautifully on both Intel and Power PC Macs! SuperDuper's interface confirms all your actions in simple, clear language to ensure that the end result is exactly what you intended.

Great product!
Went from 10GB to 250 GB in my old Dell Inspiron 8600 in less than 30 minutes from package opening to boot of the new drive. No muss no fuss no cryptic error messages (ala Symantec Ghost). Highly recommend it. Rating:

Excellent Device and Software, Just Like Its Previous Version
This product perfectly suits my needs. I rate this product 5 stars. The purpose for which I bought this product is to clone my notebook harddrive as I upgrade from a lower to a higher capacity. I may also use this to backup my harddrive. My trust at this product stems from my happy experience so long ago with its previous version, Apricorn's EZ Notebook Upgrade Kit which included the software EZ Gig II. It even allowed me cloning (instead of simply imaging) from a higher to a lower capacity harddrive which I would use as a backup (Windows 98 and Windows XP Media Center) for my laptops. I also bought an adapter, and so I was also able to use EZ Gig II to clone and backup my desktop pc. I never had any problems, and Apricorn's customer service was excellent. As the Serial ATA (SATA) port and Windows Vista operating system came about, I had to buy this new product. The old version only applied to parallel ATA (PATA) ports with operating systems prior to Windows Vista. SATA and Windows Vista did not yet exist at the time that I bought the old version. This new product now applies to both PATA and SATA ports (both from IDE or EIDE), and Windows XP and Windows Vista operating systems. Apricorn's literature indicates this product also applies to Apple's MAC. Rating:

Drive enclosure doesn't work.
The title says it all. Loaded the new drive in it, plugged it in and nada, zip, zero, nyet. Not DOA: the light comes on so power is getting to the unit; and I could feel the disk drive running. Tried all the usual ways (ie disk management, etc) and still nothing. Pulled the drive from an older laptop -- I know that drive works -- and got the exact same results.
Called the Apricorn tech support and they said, given what I had done, to return it for a replacement. Alas, Amazon does NOT allow return of this item. So I'm either I'm out the $45 or so the package costs, or I shell out another $20 to $35 for a new enclosure at Circuit City. OH, and I have a nice new, expensive, drive I can't use. Rating:

This Product ROCKS!!!
This is the BEST, COOLEST product I have used in a long time. Worked exactly as described. Put the new hard drvie in the supplied enclosure (the one I received is very solid aluminum). Plugged into my laptop and booted from the supplied disk. Followed the simple onscreen instructions. It took 90 minutes to clone 70 GB of data to the new hard drive. The congratulations screen came up, I shut down the laptop, switched hard drives, and like magic the laptop booted up with everything exactly as on the old drive except for an extra 100GB of space. Software also give the ability to make a recovery disk. I haven't tried that yet.
Read all the instructions first. The only problem I encountered was that in some documentation it states the best way to clone is to install the software and run from windows, and in other documentation it states the best way is to boot from the disk and clone from there. I tried cloning from windows (XP) and got a write error about 30 minutes into the process. I shut everything down and then booted from the disk. The clone went perfectly.
I highly recommend this product. [...]
