About this site

Why this site exists

Search for “best free disk cloning software” and most of the first page is published by companies that sell disk cloning software. Their articles are not lies exactly, but they will tell you a program is free without mentioning that its free edition refuses to clone the Windows system disk — which is the only drive most readers wanted to clone.

CloneHDD.com exists to state those limits up front, in a table, on the first screen.

How the assessments are made

• Feature limits come from the vendor's own current documentation, licence terms and feature-comparison pages, not from third-party review articles.
• Prices are recorded as list prices at the time of checking. Discounting in this market is constant, so treat them as a ceiling.
• Retired products are marked retired rather than quietly left in the rankings.
• Every page carries the date it was last verified.

What we do not do

There are no affiliate links on this site and no sponsored placements. Nobody has paid for a position in any ranking here.
