Nothing that the Pro version of HDDSuperClone can't do, with only having to purchase an additional cheap relay for power cycling.

It has this claim: "Automatic PIO / DMA protocol switching."
As someone that understands these things, those are IDE modes of data transfer over a 40/80 pin PATA ribbon cable. SATA uses AHCI, and has three available modes, 1 (1.5Gbs), 2 (3Gbs)., and 3 (6Gbs). Maybe some pro could argue with me, but that is the reality. Nice sales pitch to anyone that doesn't understand that though.

I downloaded the Challenger OS a while back just to check that out, and I was not impressed. There was little to no help or instructions on how to use it or how any of the options worked, maybe that has been improved since then.

I may have spoke too soon. I only tried the free version, and back then there was a card mentioned but did not seem to exist for purchase. The whole thing is a bit confusing because there are multiple websites. I found some interesting videos on the main company website, but they are in Italian. It might actually work half way decent. If I could understand Italian I could make a better judgement. It does look like much time and effort have been put into it. Although I still won't admit it could be better than HDDSuperClone :D
