It is It is possible to insert a PCIe M.2 hard drive into this device and connect it to computer via SSD, and then map the PC hard drive to the SSD in the device with other software (e.g. free version of AOMEI Partition Manager). clone. A drive on this device appears as another drive on the computer. USB cable included - CC. Since my PC doesn't have a Type-C USB port, I used a USB 3.0 AC cable (the same type you might already need to charge your new Android phone). I mentioned in the title that even with a single M.2 slot, this case gets very hot when powered on and plugged into a PC (I haven't actually tested it without it plugged into a PC, it always could get warm). I think there might be extra power conversion capacitors inside to run the drives. Not sure, but keep an eye on it anyway. The heat didn't seem to bother the drive I was using as long as I was cloning it. There are a couple of thermal transfer pads in the package, one for each SSD you can put in the unit (which is what I used). but keep an eye on it anyway.
