How to use

Insert the compatible M.2 module or 2.5/3.5-inch drive into the appropriate slot of the GrauGear G-M2ST235-CL following any alignment and securing steps required by the device. Connect the docking station to a host system if data transfer to a computer is needed, or initiate the offline cloning function according to the product's controls to duplicate data between inserted drives. After operations complete, power down the device if required and remove drives carefully to avoid static damage.

Recommendations

Verify drive orientation before insertion and ensure the docking station is on a stable, non-conductive surface. Use the offline cloning feature for drive-to-drive duplication when you need to migrate or back up an entire disk without a host computer. For diagnostic tasks, connect to a computer to run drive utilities and file recovery software as needed. Handle M.2 modules and 2.5"/3.5" drives by their edges and follow static safety precautions.
