Operation

A. Data Transfer (PC Mode)

When connected to a computer via the USB 3.0 cable, the ORICO 5-Bay Docking Station functions as an external drive enclosure. Each inserted HDD/SSD will be recognized as an individual drive by your operating system. You can drag and drop files, back up data, or access stored information as you would with any other external storage device. The device supports hot-swap, allowing you to insert or remove drives while the unit is powered on and connected to the PC, provided no data transfer is actively occurring on that specific drive.

B. Offline Clone Function

The offline clone function allows you to duplicate data from a source disk to a target disk without needing a computer. This is ideal for upgrading drives or creating backups.

  1. Prepare Disks: Insert the original disk into the Source bay (usually the first bay, labeled SOURCE). Insert the destination disk into the Target bay (any of the other bays, labeled TARGET).
  2. Connect Power: Ensure the power adapter is connected and the docking station is powered on.
