9. Do I have to use the Apricorn EZ GIG software with my Velocity
Solo?
No. Apricorn provides EZ GIG as easy to use software intended to clone
your existing operating system to a disk attached to the Velocity Solo.
You are not restricted from using any other software.
10. Am I required to attach my original disk to the expansion port on
the back of the Solo?
No. The expansion port on the back of the Solo is a SATA 3 connection
that may provide additional performance to any disk attached to it, but you
are not required to use it. Your original disk can remain attached directly
to your motherboard or if unneeded can be removed completely.
11. How fast is SATA 3?
SATA 1 max uncoded transfer rate is 150 MB/s (Megabytes per second),
SATA 2 is 300 MB/s and SATA 3 is 600 MB/s. Most spinning disks cannot
deliver data faster than SATA 2 and for this reason, Apricorn recommends
using a high speed Solid State Disk with the Velocity Solo to achieve the
greatest performance.
