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.

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.

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.

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…

With newest Atola TaskForce 2020.1 firmware, it is possible to image into files on an encrypted target drive using VeraCrypt for data encryption. Multiple target drives can be encrypted for the same or different sessions.After you have connected the source drive to a port in Source mode, take these steps: Read more…
