Apricorn has released a dual interface version of its EZ Upgrade Notebook Hard Drive Upgrade Kit, a solution that allows the painless transfer of all data, applications, documents, address books, e-mail, settings, OS, and preferences from an old PATA/IDE or SATA notebook hard drive to a new hard drive in three easy steps. Compatible with both PC and Mac notebooks and featuring a high quality metal enclosure, the EZ Upgrade's dual SATA/PATA interface connects with any 9.5mm PATA/IDE or SATA notebook hard drive. Simply slide the easy open switch to release the hard drive tray, attach your notebook hard drive to the appropriate SATA or PATA connector, slide the tray closed and connect to your computer's USB port. Once connected the EZ Upgrade enables you to transfer your OS, settings, applications and all of your data to your new drive using Apricorn's Upgrade Suite, which features Apricorn's EZ Gig II cloning and imaging software for Windows and Shirt Pocket's SuperDuper! for Mac.

All you need to do to easily transfer your files to your new drive is connect the hardware; run the cloning software; and install the new hard drive into the notebook. After the upgrade is complete, the old drive can be re-used in the EZ Upgrade enclosure as a portable Hi-Speed USB 2.0 backup system.

The EZ Upgrade Notebook Upgrade Kit includes: Hi-Speed USB 2.0 hard drive enclosure (USB 1.1 compatible), USB cable and Apricorn's Upgrade Suite containing cloning software for PC and Mac.
