XpressNVMe 1:6 M.2 NVMe/SATA, U.2/U.3, SATA SSD Duplicator & Eraser
The XpressNVMe 1:6 represents the pinnacle of SSD duplication technology, capable of cloning six drives simultaneously with exceptional speed and reliability. This professional-grade duplicator accommodates every workflow need through two distinct performance tiers: the Standard model delivers a robust 400 MB/s transfer rate that handles most daily operations efficiently, while the PRO model pushes performance to 1,000 MB/s for environments where time equals money. Both configurations fully support the entire spectrum of modern NVMe technology from Gen3 through Gen5, ensuring your investment remains valuable as drive technology advances. Beyond its core NVMe capabilities, the system's versatility extends to U.2/U.3, SATA, and mSATA formats, eliminating the need for multiple devices in your workspace. Despite housing this comprehensive functionality, the XpressNVMe 1:6 maintains a remarkably compact footprint that fits comfortably in any professional setting, from small repair shops to enterprise data centers.

Footnotes & setup
- ✓¹ Cross-protocol (NVMe ↔ SATA) works two ways:
-
- Staged image: Capture the source to the internal 2.5" SATA Image Drive, then deploy that image to all top ports (including the original source port after swapping its socket).
- Mixed-ports in one job: Port 1 NVMe source; remaining ports fitted with U.2/U.3/SATA sockets as targets.
-
- 3.5" SATA (bench-top, cabled): Bare internal 3.5" SATA HDD using the optional 3.5" SATA power/data cable set (one set per drive); place beside the unit on an anti-static mat.
- △ = swappable socket/adapter required when the interface isn't native to that port.
- USB is for firmware/utility only not a cloning target.
Built for Production Environments
The XpressNVMe 1:6 transforms high-volume duplication workflows through intelligent design and robust engineering. This professional-grade system operates continuously without performance degradation, maintaining full speed whether you're cloning one drive or six simultaneously. The architecture ensures that each target receives dedicated bandwidth, delivering consistent 400 MB/sec transfers on the Standard model or 1,000 MB/sec on the PRO model across all ports.
The system's versatility stems from its dual-source capability and intelligent copy modes. Technicians can clone directly from a source drive in port one to five targets, or leverage the internal SSD storage to deploy saved images to all six ports simultaneously. This flexibility becomes particularly valuable in production environments where the same image needs repeated deployment throughout the day. Four distinct copy modes address every duplication scenario: Quick Smart Copy intelligently skips blank sectors while preserving all data and system files, dramatically reducing copy times for partially-filled drives. All Partitions Copy maintains exact partition structures for multi-boot systems. Percentage Copy allows selective duplication of specific drive portions, useful for standardized deployments. Whole Copy performs sector-by-sector mirror cloning, essential for forensic work or when dealing with proprietary formats.
Data security receives equal priority through comprehensive sanitization options that meet or exceed government standards. Quick Erase handles standard overwrites for routine drive recycling, while Full Erase ensures complete data removal across all sectors. For regulated industries, Secure Erase implements NIST 800-88 guidelines for cryptographic erasure, and DoD 5220.22 provides military-grade sanitization with multiple overwrite passes. The DoD Erase + Compare option adds verification to confirm complete data elimination, providing documented proof of secure disposal for audit requirements. These aren't just checkbox features – they represent the difference between simple deletion and legally-defensible data destruction that protects your organization from liability.
The open platform design accommodates the full spectrum of modern storage devices through the innovative swappable socket system, allowing technicians to quickly reconfigure the unit for different drive types without fumbling with adapters or cables. This attention to workflow efficiency extends throughout the design, from the tool-free drive insertion to the clear LED status indicators that allow instant assessment of operations across all ports from across the room.

XpressNVMe 1:6 Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 1:6 model powerful enough for professional use?
Absolutely. The XpressNVMe 1:6 includes all the same professional features as our larger models - the only difference is the number of simultaneous targets. You get the same speed, security features, and reliability in a more compact package.
How long does it take to clone a typical 500GB NVMe drive?
With the PRO model at 1,000 MB/sec, a 500GB drive clones in approximately 8-10 minutes when using System & Files mode (which skips empty space). Whole drive cloning takes about 15-17 minutes.
Can I upgrade from the Standard to PRO model later?
The Standard and PRO models have different hardware configurations, so field upgrades aren't available. However, we offer attractive trade-in programs for customers ready to upgrade.
What's the advantage over using software cloning?
Hardware duplication is OS-independent, doesn't require booting systems, handles proprietary formats, and clones multiple drives simultaneously at full speed. Plus, it includes secure erase capabilities that software can't match.
Is the 22.1 lb weight truly portable?
Yes! The XpressNVMe 1:6 is designed with field service in mind. It includes a sturdy handle and is light enough for one person to carry comfortably. Many customers keep it in a rolling case for easy transport.
