EZ Upgrade Universal Hard Drive Upgrade Kit USB 3.0

Please note: KIT DOES NOT INCLUDE HARD DRIVE. In order for this kit to successfully clone your hard drive it must be in good working order. The kit may not clone your drive properly if it has bad sectors in an area where data is stored.

EZ Upgrade makes upgrading your notebook hard drive as easy at 1-2-3.

This innovative kit includes all the hardware and software needed to painlessly transfer all the data from an old hard drive to a new hard drive in three easy steps.

If that's not enough, EZ Upgrade transforms the old hard drive from the notebook into a portable Hi-Speed USB 3.0 / 2.0 external backup and/or storage solution.

EZ Upgrade includes: Apricorn's EZ Gig Cloning and Imaging software for Windows and ShirtPocket SuperDuper! Cloning software for Mac, a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 hard drive enclosure (USB 1.1 compatible) and USB cable.

THREE SIMPLE STEPS TO UPGRADE YOUR NOTEBOOK HARD DRIVE

1. Slide the new hard drive into the EZ Upgrade enclosure, using the included USB cable, connect the EZ Upgrade to the notebook's USB port.
2. Run the included cloning software by booting to the included Upgrade Suite CD, follow the prompts.
3. Finally, install the new hard drive into the notebook.

Once the new drive is installed, the old drive can be used in EZ Upgrade's Hi-Speed USB 3.0 enclosure for external storage. When used with EZ Gig 3, the external drive becomes a state-of-the-art backup solution.

EZ Gig Upgrade & Backup software gives the user two options to upgrade or backup their data.

The Clone option creates an exact clone of a hard drive and is perfect for upgrading hard drives, or for a creating a Disaster Recovery clone - the ultimate backup solution.

The Image option is the ideal backup tool. EZ Gig creates a compressed ³image² of an entire hard drive, or an individual partition of a hard drive. At its maximum setting, the Image option can compress data to less than 1/2 its original size, allowing backups to be made to a smaller hard drive, or multiple backups to a large hard drive.

EZ Gig also provides password protection for backup images, a comments field so each image can be labeled and easily identified, and verification that the image is complete. The EZ Gig File Editor allows editing or restoration of individual files or folders.
