NTI Corporation announced the release of NTI Echo 7, the latest version of its popular disk cloning software. Echo 7 provides a more flexible, capable, and robust cloning experience while retaining the signature ease of use that has long distinguished NTI Echo.
NTI Echo 7 makes it easy to clone an HDD or SSD to another drive, helping users upgrade to a faster SSD, replace an aging drive, or migrate an existing system without reinstalling Windows, applications, settings, or personal files. Its straightforward operation and proven cloning technology make Echo a practical solution for home users, technicians, system builders, and other professionals.
Echo 7 expands support for filtered cloning, improves compatibility with BitLocker drives, and adds support for cloning between 4K-native and 512-byte sector disks in either direction. Together with additional bug fixes and reliability improvements, these enhancements enable Echo 7 to support a broader range of modern and legacy storage configurations.
“Storage devices continue to evolve, and users need cloning software that can handle a wider variety of drive configurations without making the process more complicated,” said Bill Yao, President of NTI Corporation. “With enhanced filtered cloning, stronger BitLocker support, and the ability to clone between 4K-native and 512-byte sector disks in either direction, Echo 7 gives consumers, technicians, and OEM partners greater flexibility while preserving the ease of use that has always defined NTI Echo.”
What’s New in V7
- ENHANCED: 4K-Sector Compatibility — Clone from a 4K-native sector disk to a 512-byte sector disk, or from a 512-byte sector disk to a 4K-native sector disk
- ENHANCED: Filtered Cloning — Exclude selected files and data so a larger source drive can be cloned to a smaller target drive when the selected data fits, while making more efficient use of available disk space
- ENHANCED: BitLocker Drive Support — Improved support for drives protected with Microsoft BitLocker broadens compatibility with encrypted Windows storage configurations
- IMPROVED: Additional bug fixes and reliability enhancements provide a more dependable cloning experience
Echo 7 is built for real-world drive upgrades and storage migrations. Enhanced filtered cloning helps users move from a larger hard disk drive to a smaller solid-state drive by transferring only the data needed on the target. Expanded sector compatibility provides greater flexibility when replacing, upgrading, deploying, or repurposing drives across newer and legacy storage environments.
Despite its expanded capabilities, Echo 7 retains NTI’s intuitive, step-by-step operation. Users can complete common disk migration and upgrade projects without advanced technical expertise, while professionals and OEM partners gain a more capable cloning solution for a wider range of drive configurations.
