A disk imaging method that creates a bit-for-bit copy of a storage device, such as a hard drive or USB stick, replicating all data, including files, file structure, boot sectors, and unused space. Named after the Unix dd command, this mode captures an exact image of the source, making it ideal for data recovery, backups, and cloning drives for precise duplication. DD Image mode is commonly used when creating bootable drives or transferring entire disk contents. Since it copies every sector, the resulting image size is typically the same as the original device, and this mode can capture hidden or deleted data as well.
