Create a Write-Blocked Workstation Turn your computer into a digital forensic workstation with Forensic LabDock. Installed in a standard 5.25" bay, Forensic LabDock gives convenient, forensic access to suspect hard drives. Write-blocking is done in hardware, with proven WiebeTech write-blocking technology.
USB Write-blocking Write-blocked access to thumb drives is just as convenient as write-blocked SATA and IDE. Forensic LabDock also incorporates a USB WriteBlocker, so you can forensically access flash drives or full size USB enclosures. Most USB 1.1 and 2.0 devices that normally register with the computer as a "USB Mass Storage Device" are supported.
Built-in HPA/DCO Detection Do you know what could be lurking in the hidden areas of a hard drive? HPA (Host Protected Areas) or DCO (Device Configuration Overlays) can exist on hard drives, which are not accessible by your Operating system. Further, these areas can be used to hide information from you. Forensic LabDock will alert you if these areas exist, so you can inspect them. Forensic LabDock comes with software to let you choose how to handle a hidden area. It allows you to:
Detect and do nothing
Detect and temporarily remove HPA
Detect and permanently remove HPA
Detect and permanently remove HPA and DCO
Extend Support for other drive types Need to access a non-standard hard drive? Use WiebeTech's Combo Adapters to access 1.8" drives, notebook drives, drives found in iPods, and more. Combo Adapters work with many of our docking products, including Forensic LabDock.
Write-blocked
Protects drive's contents by preventing disk writes. Uses industry-proven WiebeTech write-block technology to provide access to USB Mass Storage devices (such as thumb drives), IDE/PATA and SATA hard drives.
Convenient Bay
Fits in standard 5.25" bays, including cases with confining bezels, such as Dell Optiplex and Precision mini towers. Access from the front of the workstation means no reaching behind your computer, fishing for cables.
Keeps suspect drives more safe during examination
Shorter cables and a dedicated out-of-the-way bay keeps your work area less cluttered and provides a safer environment for your drive.
eSATA or FireWire
