Current boot disk is unstable with pending sectors and bad sectors. Thinking of getting a new HDD using Astone HDD dock to do cloning from the existing 1.5TB to a new 2TB HDD. This morning saw that Easeus todo backup free also have the feature to do HDD clone.
So trying to get feedback if anyone has used easeus to do cloning or spend $79 and get a docking with cloning feature?

For that rare occasion of cloning an old boot disk to a new disk, u dun really need to use hardware clone and waste money.

Just connect the two disks into the same system and use software like Acronis True Image or freeware like Clonezilla to do the cloning.
