Features

High Speed: Implements support for SATA2 3GB/s and USB 3.0. The unit is designed to acquire today's High Performance drives and prepares the user with the hardware necessary to take advantage of tomorrow's hard drive speed improvements. The unit's advanced Duplication Technology provides the capability of performing multiple operations simultaneously. Capture and Wipe drives at transfer rates exceeding 7 GB/min. Average speeds are recorded as follows: 100% Capture at 6.9 GB/min, Hash E01 at 7.15 GB/min, E01 Capture & SHA1 at 3.7 GB/min, E01 Capture at 4.2 GB/min.

Ruggedized Design: The new Solo 102 G3 Forensic unit is built in a shock absorbent case that permits investigators to easily carry, store, and use the machine in even the toughest environments.

Small and Light Weight: The Solo 102 G3 Forensic weighs approximately 7 pounds and measures 10.8 x 9.85 x 4.5 inches.

Improved User-friendly touch screen interface: color touch screen display offers an intuitive improved interface with easy navigation including a wizard mode.

"Suspect/Evidence" Connections: One SATA-2 connection and one USB 3.0 connection are available for the "Suspect" drive position. One SATA-2 connection and one USB 3.0 connection are available for the "Evidence 1" drive position.The unit also includes one IDE adapter. One SATA-2 connection and one USB 2.0 connection are available for the "Evidence 2" drive position. Optional Adapters are available for 1.8", 2.5", ZIF, and micro SATA interfacse including adapters for Flash media such as compact flash, memory sticks, SD, micro SD, multi media card, etc. SCSI drives can be acquired utilizing 3rd party usb to scsi adapters. Support copying data between different drive interfaces such as copying from an IDE "suspect" drive to a SATA "evidence" drive. The "suspect" port is write-protected by default to prevent any accidental changes to the "suspect" drive's data.

Operational Modes: One-to-One copy mode - captures one "suspect" drive to one "evidence" drive (1:1). Multi-copy mode - captures "suspect" drive up to two "evidence" drives (1:2) Multiple Image Storage - Store multiple "suspect" drive images using a single "evidence" drive. Sanitize drives using Single Pass, DOD Standard, or secure erase. Hardware accelerated SHA-1 and SHA-2 hashing functions. Standard MD-5 hashing also included. Upload "suspect" images to a shared network storage location using the native 1 Gigabit ethernet interface.

Multiple Imaging Formats: Single capture: creates "mirror" image of suspect's drive. Linux DD: supports storing single or multiple DD images (industry standard) on a single "evidence" hard drive or USB storage device. User can define the size of the linux DD image segments.

"On the Fly" Data Encryption: Built-in AES 256 encryption technology encrypts with minimal speed degredation all digital data during the acquisition process for the purpose of safe-gaurding sensitive information.

Image Restore: Restore a proviously capturd DD to a EO1 image to the original "source" drive format.

Preview Source Data: Preview source drive's data utilizing third party applications or using the unit's built-in O/S utilities. The unit's preview capability allows previewing Word, Excel, PDF, text or multimedia (pictures, video and audio) files prior to cloning the data.

Windows 7 Special Edition Operationg System: The Image Masster Solo-102 runs on the highly stable and proven Windows 7 Operating System. Unit can be customized to individual organization needs upon request.
