Atola TaskForce

With RAIDs landing on forensic examiners’ desks often being completely anonymous, finding the correct RAID configuration becomes a tedious manual job that can take hours and days to complete.  To make this process efficient and effortless, Atola developers equipped TaskForce forensic imager with a breakthrough configuration autodetection module. This time-saving Read more…

When it comes to RAID imaging, a forensic specialist may be confronted with an array that not only has an unknown configuration but also one of the drives severely damaged or missing. This is when Atola TaskForce comes to the rescue! If this is a RAID 5 with a missing Read more…

Minimizing imaging time has been our core priority. With this idea in mind, we have created Atola TaskForce forensic imager. With it, you can image at 15TB/hour!

Here is how TaskForce’s RAID functionality helps you minimize imaging time by imaging selected partitions of a RAID array.

When imaging RAID 5 array with errors on multiple drives, Atola TaskForce is still able to detect its parameters and image the whole RAID. Let’s examine a case with a RAID 5 consisting of 5 drives, two of which have bad sectors. Reassembling RAID 5 array with errors on multiple drives Read more…

When working with evidence drives, data integrity is critical. Using ECC RAM, which identifies and corrects common single-bit errors, would help dramatically improve data transfer reliability in digital forensic tools. Why use ECC memory Electrical, magnetic or even radioactive interference inside a system, may cause a single bit of DRAM Read more…

How often are you faced with a case with multiple individual devices with different interfaces (HDDs, SSDs, NVMe, USB, etc.) or a whole RAID array? If all you have on your hands is one imager with no parallel imaging capacity, it can result in a prohibitive processing timeline. To help Read more…

TaskForce’s 2020.7.1 firmware makes its operation in a network effortless and further enhances autodetection of RAID:
– add a missing device to RAID 5
– up to 100,000,000 configurations checked
– output narrowed down to just 1 in 90+% of cases!

Made of lightweight metal, the cover protects the screen from scratches and other types of damage and allows fast packing of the hardware unit for transportation.

TaskForce has a unique RAID configuration detection module. Furthermore, it is able to sustain multiple high-speed imaging sessions on its 18 ports. This makes it a perfect imager to perform reassembly of RAID with an unknown configuration and fast forensic imaging of such arrays. Here is how imaging RAID 0 array Read more…
