Qiling Disk Master provides Disk Clone, System Clone, and Partition Clone tools that can help you clone bootable internal hard drives to external hard drives or SSDs, either for duplication purposes or for disk upgrades.

Step 1. Connect the target disk to your computer and launch Qiling Disk Master. Next, click on Tools > Disk Clone.

Step 2. Select the source disk and the destination disk.

Step 3. Click Proceed to execute the operation.

✍Helpful Tips:

❗Important:

If you want to clone your disk on a laptop with only one slot, you will need a USB-to-SATA cable. Some USB bridge chips reserve some spare sectors to store internal data on the hard drive, this means that when you use a USB interface the reported maximum LBA will be smaller than when you use a native SATA controller.

This can lead to the partition mapping function being incompatible with the altered maximum LBA settings and results in the cloning speeds slowing down. In some cases, it may even cause the target disk to be unbootable. As a result, we recommend you use the backup and restore method on laptops.
