Is there a piece of software I can use to create a mirror of a HDD to several other HDDs in parallel?

Reflect might be able to do it easily, havent used it for a while though

Not sure if it does simultaneous duplication from an image though.

That's kind of the key thing. If it takes X time to replicate to 1 HDD, I'd much prefer it if it took that same time to create 5 copies at once.

Ok so clonezilla appears to do it. Better yet there's standalone devices called hard drive replicators it seems.

stick the drives in, then go to windows disk management and choose the raid 1. I think they will need to be dynamic disks though so just right click each one on disk management and convert to dynamic
