Why don't the maker of these hard drive put "cloning" software in the package? Or a website? It would be simple....

Question

Accepted Answer

Many people who buy hard drives don't need cloning software, and the software is readily available on the Internet. While some might feel this reduces the value of the hardware, I have had absolutely no complaints with the drive. If they had included software, it would drive up the price even more, just to add something that not everyone needs or wants. For most of us, backing up to an external drive or the cloud--a function that's included on most operating systems--is plenty.

That said, I know that cloning software is useful, but I don't know enough about it to recommend a good product. Hopefully someone else here does, and I wish you luck! Hopefully you enjoy the drive anyway.
