Product Description
Product Features
HARD DRIVE DUPLICATION
- Supports 3.5″/2.5″ SATA hard drives,3.5″/2.5″ SAS (optional), USB enclosures and thumb drives with three dedicated USB 3.0 ports. Optional adapters are available for 1.8/2.5/3.5″ IDE and IDE ZIF drives, eSATA, microSATA, mSATA and flash media.
PCIE SUPPORT
- M.2 PCIe(NVMe, AHCI, SATA types) drives, PCIe and mini-PCIe express cards are supported with the optional PCIe Bridge adapter. Connect multiple adapters (a maximum of 3) to the ZXi’s USB 3.0 ports to clone from a master drive or an image repository to multiple PCie drives simultaneously.
MULTI-TARGET CLONING
- Clone from 1 master to 5 SATA or 5 SAS (if SAS option is purchased) target drives, or clone from a ZXi created image repository stored on an external USB enclosure or on a network repository to a total of 6 SATA/SAS target hard drives.
4 DRIVE EXPANSION KIT
- The optional expansion kit provides an additional 2 SAS/SATA and 2 SATA only targets for a total of 9 SATA (7 SAS) targets when cloning from a master hard drive or 10 SATA (8 SAS) targets from a network repository or from a repository stored on an external USB enclosure connected to the ZXi.
ALTERNATIVE LAPTOP CLONING VERSION
- Customers can purchase a version of the ZXi (F-ZXI-LAPTOP) that is shipped with a factory-installed feature that provides support for cloning of 6 laptops (Windows or Mac x86 based) or 6 tablets (Windows x86 based) and 6 hard drives simultaneously without removing hard drives from the laptops. Tablets require a docking station enabled with an Ethernet port.
DATA TRANSFER RATE
- The ZXi duplicates hard drives at speeds up to 24GB/min*
FLAT BED DESIGN & REMOVABLE DRIVE STATIONS
- Provides fast, easy connection to a variety of hard drive types. Removable drive stations are field replaceable.
MULTIPLE MASTER/SOURCE AND TARGET DRIVES
- Users can assign any drive stations as a master or target drive.
ERROR HANDING
- A error granularity user-selectable setting provides more control over error handling of the master drive. Four cluster size settings are provided to determine the number of sectors to be skipped when a bad sector is found on the master drive. The ZXi can also abort or skip bad sectors found on the master drive.
NETWORK SHARING
- Allows network access (upload/download) to drive images and log files. Two Gigabit Ethernet ports are available.
CLONING
- Supports cloning from a ZXi-created image stored on a USB enclosure connected via one of the ZXi’s USB 3.0 ports, from a ZXi-created image stored on a shared network drive location, or clone from a master/source hard drive.
MULTI-SESSION CAPABILITY
- Allows users to perform multiple tasks including cloning wiping or hashing concurrently.
CLONE USB ENCLOSURES AND THUMB DRIVES
- 3 USB 3.0 ports are available.
LARGE CAPACITY DRIVES
- The ZXi provides support for today’s large capacity drives (>2TB).
WRITE-PROTECTED SOURCE
- ZXi drive stations or USB ports that are designated as a master by the user are automatically write-blocked to prevent any alteration to sensitive data on the source drive.
WIPE FEATURE
- The ZXi provides a comprehensive wipe mode. DoD wipe, Secure Erase and custom pass settings. Supports NIST 800-88 guidelines.
COLOUR TOUCH SCREEN DISPLAY
- A vibrant display provides an intuitive and easy to use interface.
HASH VERIFICATION OPTION
- This optional feature allows the user to clone and verify the exact replication of the master drive. Features user-selectable SHA-1, SHA256 or MD5 algorithms.
MULTIPLE CLONING MODES
- Supports Mirror (bit for bit copy) and CleverCopy (copies only data areas, skips blank sectors).
TASK MACRO
- Allows users to set specific tasks to be performed sequentially. For example, set task 1 to wipe, task 2 to clone, task 3 to hash.
FILE SYSTEMS
- Supports all OS and file systems including Linux and Mac in Mirror mode. Supports FAT16/FAT32/NTFS and Linux (ext, ext2, ext3, ext4) in CleverCopy mode.
REMOTE OPERATION
- ZXi allows you to control all operations from a remote computer using a web browser or CLI interface.
BLANK DISK
- Blank disk feature checks if the drive is blank.
DRIVE “TIME-OUT”
- A user selectable feature will set a specific “time-out” for drives connected to ZXi. After a specified idle time the drive will automatically be put into standby mode, powering down the drives.
ADVANCED ADMINISTRATIVE FUNCTIONS
- Administrators can create/manage image repositories, manage network settings, create user profiles, save configurations, manage drive station assignments.
COMPACT FOOTPRINT
- The ZXi takes up minimal real estate on the work bench at a size of 3.7″ X 19″ X 17.2″ (9.39cm X 48.26cm X 43.68cm) and weighs only 14lbs (6.4kg).
FLAT-BED DESIGN
- The ZXi features a flat-bed design with removable, field-replaceable drive stations. The drive stations provide drive power port protection.
AUDIT TRAIL/LOG REPORT
- Detailed information about the cloning session is provided, and reports can be printed from a browser or via CLI. Report includes a digital signature for authentication purposes.
USB 2.0 HOST PORTS
- The unit features two USB 2.0 ports for connecting a keyboard and mouse to the ZXi.
HPA/DCO
- Clone or wipe HPA/DCO areas of the drive.
ONE-YEAR STANDARD WARRANTY
- The system comes complete with a one year parts and labor warranty. Both an optional 1 year extended warranty (total of 2 years) and a 2 year extended warranty (total of 3 years) are available.
*Speed based on 1 to 1 mirror cloning using solid state drives. Speeds will vary depending on type of drives and number of targets
