How do you go about cloning the boot SSD onto another USB drive? I thought I had read something about it on here but I cannot remember where. Does Dolby still sell these with the software on them? Seems easy enough to buy the SSD from InnoDisk. Then I could just clone a Doremi onto it.

There is a tech support document from Doremi/Dolby explaining the clone process:

Thanks. With that said, what do you recommend in the way of replacement SSDs? I found the exact drive on Mouser Electronics. I would assume I'd be better off with an industrial USB drive than any old drive off the shelf at Walmart.Comment

If you find the original device, go ahead. I remember Dolby selling replacements with a current OS on it at close to 80-100US$ or something.
A colleague ran his ShowVault off a standard SanDisk USB stick for years without issues. One reason probably being that it is a read-only boot disk (unless you are performing software upgrade), and the whole OS is copied into a RAM disk during the boot process. So, once the system has booted, the USB stick has little to do. All write operations after it has booted up go to the RAID.Comment

Likewise, I've replaced deceased boot flash drives on DCP2000s, DCP-2K4s, and SVs, with regular USB sticks and just left them - they've run indefinitely without issues.Comment
