Standalone Drive Duplicator/cloner?

[MeDownYou]

Looking for a cheap standalone drive cloner 1:1, Sector/block cloning okay. 

 

I've read a bunch of reviews and it always seems like SOMEONE is unhappy with these devices and loses data, was wondering if there were any recommendations from the forum as I have data to routinely transfer onto new drives and I need it to be basically totally reliable. 

 

Shooting for something in the sub 60 dollar range, but willing to go a bit more if pressed.

There's always going to be a lemon or some anecdotal issue listed in reviews; that generally shouldn't be a barrier to purchase. Reliability is going to be questionable at the price point you're looking for. If you go a little higher, something like one of the StarTech ones should be serviceable for you. Normally, I'd suggest something in the realm of a small business unit if you're doing it consistently enough but then you're looking at a lot more money.

I was considering some of their higher models, but that one should be alright; the reviews are decent. All comes down to frequency as well.
