UPDATED FORENSIC DUPLICATORS IN STOCK
AND SHIPPING SAME DAY *
* If order and payment is processed by 12 p.m. Central
All Forensic Duplicators available from Digital Intelligence have been upgraded to v2.0 which includes major functionality enhancements including:
-
Logs can now be saved to a USB mass storage device (e.g., a thumb drive) attached to either of the Forensic Duplicator's USB ports.
-
Logs can now be printed to a USB printer device attached to either of the Forensic Duplicator's USB ports.
-
Logs now include the Forensic Duplicator serial number.
-
The duplication status screen now shows multiple performance metrics: instantaneous transfer rate in bytes/second, instantaneous transfer rate in GB/min, average transfer rate in GB/min, total elapsed time and estimated time to completion.
-
Voltage and current monitoring for source and destination drives.
-
Low-voltage warning for power supply.
-
Increased Disk-to-File duplication (imaging) speed.
-
Wipe transfer rate has been unified with duplication / hashing transfer rate.
-
Date and time have been added to the main menu.

 Engineered and built to the same quality, durability, and performance standards as Tableau’s write-blockers and hardware accelerators, the Forensic Duplicator is an intelligent alternative to higher-priced disk imaging solutions. The Forensic Duplicator supports hashed (SHA-1 & MD5) duplication of IDE or SATA HDD’s at sustained transfer speeds of up to 6 GBytes per minute.
The Forensic Duplicator is designed for easy, one-button operation. Upon source (write-protected) and destination drive (writeable) connection and power-up, the Forensic Duplicator will verify drive and device information. To start duplication, simply push the enter button. Imaging will begin based upon the user presets entered during initial device setup. Or if you prefer, use the control keys and LCD to select from a menu of available functions. Once duplication begins, progress information is displayed on the 80 character LCD.
The Forensic Duplicator provides the flexibility of cloning (disk-to-disk) or imaging (disk-to-FAT32 file system) hard drives. Source and destination drives may be any combination of SATA or IDE. The Forensic Duplicator supports 1:1 drive duplication and will prompt users when spanning multiple destination drives.
In addition to fast drive duplication, user selectable functions include FAT32 Disk Formatting, Disk Wiping, Disk Blank Check, Display Disk Information, Hash Disk Drives (MD5 or SHA-1), View & Print Logs, and Setup Device Information. Key Features (v1.0 Firmware):
 Disk to Disk Duplication- Disk to DD File Duplication (FAT32, with the ability to span multiple
destination disks)
- Source Hashing (without duplication)
- Drive-speed/real-time MD-5 and SHA-1 Hashing (simultaneous) for
duplication and hashing
- Destination Wiping (ATA Security Erase, 1-pass wipe, and 3-pass
wipe)
- Destination Disk Formatting
- Source and Destination Blank Check (both automatic and
menu-driven)
- HPA/DCO Support (ability to defeat/remove HPA and/or DCO)
- Native SATA or IDE on the source and destination
- 80 Character User Interface
- 2 USB Ports for Printing and/or Saving Reports to Thumb Drives (Planned for Rev 2)
- 1 Firewire Port for Fast Firmware Updates
- Upgradeable Firmware Offers Expanded Features

Performance
One of the primary design goals for the Forensic Duplicator was to achieve data path
transfer rates of 100 MB/s (6 GB/m). The test results below (using rev
1.0 firmware) show that they have been successful in hitting the data
transfer path design goals. The speed of the Forensic Duplicator is drive
limited. Below are the results of our Data Path Transfer Rate Benchmark
testing.
