Mascom International stocks the UGREEN CM198 Dual-Bay Hard Drive Duplicator at KSh 5,000, brand new and sealed, ready for collection or delivery. This UGREEN docking station holds two SATA drives at once, in 2.5-inch laptop size or 3.5-inch desktop size, hard disks and SSDs alike. The UGREEN CM198 Dual-Bay Hard Drive Duplicator connects to a computer over USB 3.0 at up to 5Gbps, and it can also duplicate one drive onto another with no computer attached. It runs from its own 12V 3A power adapter. Find it at Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, in Nairobi CBD.
Designed for IT technicians, office administrators, accountants and photographers, the UGREEN CM198 Dual-Bay Hard Drive Duplicator handles the jobs a single USB cable cannot. Many Kenyan offices still keep years of records on old desktop hard disks pulled from retired towers. Getting those files off usually means opening a computer and connecting cables inside it. With this dock, you slide the disk in from the top and it shows up as a USB drive. A technician in Industrial Area can clone a failing office disk onto a fresh SSD before it dies completely.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that sell single-slot docks with no clone feature, Mascom International carries the UGREEN CM198 Dual-Bay Hard Drive Duplicator for workshops and offices that need both jobs done. Buyers throughout Kenya report that the standalone copy mode saves them hours when upgrading a batch of office machines. Every unit carries a 6-month warranty from our CBD service desk. Come to Kimathi Street to see the UGREEN CM198 Dual-Bay Hard Drive Duplicator working with your own drives, or order it for pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in the country.
Common Questions About the UGREEN CM198 Dual-Bay Hard Drive Duplicator
What is the UGREEN CM198 Dual-Bay Hard Drive Duplicator price in Kenya?
The UGREEN CM198 Dual-Bay Hard Drive Duplicator sells for KSh 5,000 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD, in a sealed UGREEN box. That covers the dock, its USB cable, the 12V power adapter and a 6-month warranty from our Kimathi Street desk. Drives are not included. You can pay on arrival anywhere in Kenya, so the dock is checked in your hands first. Walk-in buyers can test it with their own disks before handing over cash or M-Pesa.
How does offline cloning work on the UGREEN CM198 Dual-Bay Hard Drive Duplicator?
Offline cloning on the UGREEN CM198 Dual-Bay Hard Drive Duplicator copies the whole of one drive onto the other with no computer connected. You place the source disk and the target disk in the two bays, power the dock and start the clone from the dock itself. Everything on the target is overwritten, so back it up first. The target should be the same size as the source or larger. Ask our team for a short walkthrough when you collect it.
Which drives fit the UGREEN CM198 Dual-Bay Hard Drive Duplicator?
The UGREEN CM198 Dual-Bay Hard Drive Duplicator accepts SATA drives in 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch sizes, both spinning hard disks and SATA SSDs. The 2.5-inch size comes from laptops and most SATA SSDs, while 3.5-inch disks come from desktops, CCTV recorders and NAS boxes. It does not take M.2 NVMe drives or old IDE disks with wide ribbon connectors. If you are unsure, send a photo of the drive's label on WhatsApp and we will confirm the fit.
What should Kenyan buyers know about power and plugs for the UGREEN CM198 Dual-Bay Hard Drive Duplicator?
The UGREEN CM198 Dual-Bay Hard Drive Duplicator comes with an EU two-pin power adapter, so you need a UK-type plug adapter for Kenyan three-pin sockets. We can supply one at the store. Because the dock powers 3.5-inch disks from the wall, a KPLC power cut will stop it. Run long clones on a UPS or during stable hours, since an interrupted clone must restart. In dusty rooms, keep the bays covered when no drive is inside.
Should I choose the UGREEN CM198 Dual-Bay Hard Drive Duplicator or the UGREEN CM578 M.2 NVMe SSD Reader?
The UGREEN CM198 Dual-Bay Hard Drive Duplicator is for 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch SATA drives and can clone them without a computer. The UGREEN CM578 M.2 NVMe SSD Reader, also at Mascom International for KSh 2,800, takes one M.2 NVMe drive at up to 10Gbps and needs no wall power. Pick the CM198 for desktop disks, CCTV drives and office upgrades. Pick the reader if your drive is a small M.2 stick from a modern laptop.
How fast does the UGREEN CM198 Dual-Bay Hard Drive Duplicator transfer files?
The UGREEN CM198 Dual-Bay Hard Drive Duplicator links to a computer over USB 3.0, rated at up to 5Gbps. In practice, a spinning hard disk sets the pace well below that limit, while a SATA SSD runs closer to it. It also works on USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports, only far slower. For the quickest copies, plug it into a blue USB 3.0 port or a USB-C port on your laptop, not a front panel hub.
Can the UGREEN CM198 Dual-Bay Hard Drive Duplicator recover CCTV footage or data from a dead computer?
The UGREEN CM198 Dual-Bay Hard Drive Duplicator can read a disk taken from a computer that no longer boots, as long as the disk itself still spins. Windows-formatted drives open directly, and Mac drives open on a Mac. CCTV recorders often use their own disk format, so footage may need the recorder maker's software. Shop owners in Kisumu and Nakuru tell us they use it to pull invoices and M-Pesa statements off old office towers before scrapping them.
Who should buy the UGREEN CM198 Dual-Bay Hard Drive Duplicator, and who should skip it?
Buy the UGREEN CM198 Dual-Bay Hard Drive Duplicator if you repair computers, run an office IT desk, or keep archives on several old hard disks. It suits anyone moving an office from hard disks to SSDs. Skip it if you only need to carry one fast drive in a laptop bag, because it needs wall power and sits on a desk. For portable NVMe use, the UGREEN CM578 M.2 NVMe SSD Reader in our store is the better fit.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Cloning
- Two SATA drive bays in one dock — read, copy or back up two disks at the same time from one computer.
- Offline clone mode — duplicates a full source disk onto a target disk with no computer, ideal for batch upgrades.
- Clone target must match or exceed the source size — a 500GB disk clones onto a 500GB or 1TB drive.
- Cloning overwrites the target drive completely — old files on it are erased, so back them up before starting.
- Drives appear as normal USB storage when connected to a computer — open, copy and delete files as usual.
- Top-loading bays — drives slide in vertically with no screws, trays or tools needed.
Compatibility and Supported Drives
- Takes 2.5-inch SATA drives — the size used in laptops, PlayStation consoles and most SATA SSDs.
- Takes 3.5-inch SATA drives — the larger size used in desktop towers, CCTV recorders and NAS storage boxes.
- Works with both spinning hard disks and SATA SSDs — one dock covers old archives and new solid-state drives.
- Does not accept M.2 NVMe sticks or older IDE disks — those need a different reader or adapter.
- Works with Windows, macOS and Linux systems that support USB storage — no driver install for basic file access.
- Backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports — useful on older office desktops, though copies run slower.
Build and Power Supply
- USB 3.0 interface rated at up to 5Gbps — roughly ten times the bandwidth of the old USB 2.0 standard.
- USB-C port on the dock — the reversible connector plugs in either way up, so there is less wear on the socket.
- External 12V 3A power adapter — enough current to spin up two 3.5-inch disks, which USB alone cannot power.
- Adapter fitted with an EU two-pin plug — pair it with a UK-type adapter for Kenyan wall sockets.
- Body made from PC and ABS plastic — a light, rigid shell that does not conduct electricity near exposed drive boards.
- Black finish — blends in on a workshop bench or an office desk beside a desktop tower.
Inclusions and Support
- The UGREEN CM198 Dual-Bay Hard Drive Duplicator dock in sealed UGREEN retail packaging.
- USB-C to USB cable — connects the dock's USB-C port to the USB-A port found on most laptops and desktops.
- 12V 3A power adapter with EU plug — powers the dock and both drives during copying and cloning.
- Drives not included — the dock is sold empty, ready for disks you already own or buy separately.
- Purchase receipt and 6-month Mascom International warranty — keep it for any claim at the Kimathi Street desk.
- Setup advice by phone or WhatsApp — our team explains clone steps and drive formatting for first-time users.
Package Contents
Opening the sealed box, you find the UGREEN CM198 Dual-Bay Hard Drive Duplicator, a USB-C to USB cable and a 12V 3A power adapter with an EU two-pin plug. No hard disks or SSDs come with it. Because Kenyan sockets take three-pin UK-type plugs, add a plug adapter, which Mascom International sells separately at the store. SATA SSDs and hard disks for cloning or backup are also available on request.
Warranty
The UGREEN CM198 Dual-Bay Hard Drive Duplicator carries a 6-month warranty through Mascom International, covering manufacturing defects under normal use.
