I don't know how the $80 generic ones work, but the 'real' ones are just running an embedded linux controller and dd 'ing (more or less) the entire drive.
The source is only ever mounted in read only so having it come back as 'raw' is just about impossible.

is not the same as this: https://www.mediaduplicationsystems.com/fx2125-sata-sas-usb3.0-hard-drive-duplicator

If you walk into a shop or your tech is using something like the StarTech one. Run away as fast as you can.

can confirm the startech is junk. i have it (maybe not exactly this model but startech) and while its never corrupted the source drive its only successfully duplicated maybe half the drives i tried. like 4 or 5 out of 10 i tried. and damn its slow af.

waste of money.
