Image MASSter 4000 PRO (2.5″ Host and Drive Caddy) is one of the IM 4000 PRO families. And if you a full kit with all the optional software, it is indeed powerful hard drive duplicator which is able to meet your most of feature requirements though the transfer speed is not inviting. On the other hand, it allows connecting up to so-called 8 HDD, it is inevitable to affect the performance; and the full kit’s price is not so inviting for common users to get close to.
