Atola TaskForce

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…

Atola supports RAID imaging and provides a breakthrough configuration autodetection module for RAID 0, 1 and 5 with NTFS and ext4/3/2 file systems. More RAID types and file systems will be supported in the upcoming releases with RAID 10 coming by the end of 2020. Here is how to make a RAID image from RAID 5 with an unknown configuration. The RAID array can be imaged as a whole only its individual partitions.

Today we are introducing the largest firmware update of Atola TaskForce ever – 2020.7. It adds a new facet to the product turning it into the first forensic hardware RAID imager in the world and forensic RAID rebuild effortless! I’d like to start by revealing the pain digital forensic experts Read more…

A damaged hard drive, especially when it comes to evidence drives, requires a complex imaging approach. It is necessary to avoid the drive’s further deterioration and data loss during damaged drive imaging. TaskForce system enhances your working with damaged evidence drives, minimizing the risk of losing data on the functioning Read more…

Atola TaskForce is designed to be the fastest forensic imager. It allows imaging multiple drives simultaneously at the overall speed of 15 TB/hour. The individual imaging sessions run at the top native speeds of most drives. To test TaskForce imaging speed, we used various models of SSD, HDD & USB Read more…

Segmented hashing allows verifying data imaged from damaged media and ensuring that the image can be verified even if data gets corrupt later in the case’s life cycle.

By selecting Segmented hashing in the imaging settings, along with an image you get a csv file with hash values for the individual segments of the evidence drive.

The key feature of this release is imaging to segmented E01 files (to E01, E02, E03 and so forth). For many forensic examiners, E01 segmentation makes sense for a more convenient way of storing data. Some back up the segmented images on BluRay drives, others want to avoid repeated attempts Read more…
