Well yeah! The drives have to be connected if you're going to transfer data from one to the other (as in clone)! And not to each other! But yeah, they'd have to be connected to the motherboard.

P.S: Be sure you pick the correct source and destination. The last thing in the world you want to do is clone the empty drive and overwrite (and pretty much wipe) the drive with your data on it.
