I am using a EC-HD2B HDD Docking Station and Cloner to offline clone a 3.5-inch 2TB Seagate Barracuda onto a 3.5-inch 10TB Barracuda Pro hard drive. All started well; the first light, 25%, started blinking blue. After about 3 days, the third light (75%) is blinking blue, but it has stayed on that blinking 3rd light for 2 more days. I expected this would take a long time with a 10TB disk, but I’m worried the cloning process has hung up and I need advice on what to do.
I did not format the destination 10TB drive as I thought I read I didn’t need to. Should I let the process run longer? If so, how much longer before I am sure there is an error? Or should I stop the process and try to do it over? I really don’t want to corrupt the source, 2TB, drive. If I do stop and start over, do I just turn off the docking station and then follow the manual again a second time?
I would appreciate any help you can provide.

@Tom Whedbee A sector-by-sector offline clone can take a very long time, unfortunately, although I'm not sure if that's the issue here. Drive health can impact the process as well. Formatting should not be required, but can be tried. I would directly contact our customer service team on the website for a specific procedure but generally the source is only being read if the clone is directionally correct, which is should be given the capacity differences.
Cześć wszystkim! Często musimy radzić sobie z różnymi problemami technicznymi w naszym codziennym życiu, a klonowanie dysków to jedno z tych zadań, które mogą być dość skomplikowane. Jeśli szukasz pomocy w tej kwestii, polecam odwiedzenie strony spinmama, gdzie znajdziesz wiele przydatnych informacji i wsparcia. Pamiętaj, że cierpliwość jest kluczem, zwłaszcza przy dużych dyskach, więc jeśli jesteś w trakcie klonowania, daj sobie czas na zakończenie procesu i nie spiesz się z wyłączaniem urządzenia, aby uniknąć potencjalnych problemów.
