Tableau's T335 Forensic Drive Bay Controller provides three independent bridges, two SATA and one IDE, each of which can be configured for read-only or read-write operation at system build time.
The T335 is designed to be mounted in a 5.25" half-height drive bay on the front of a forensic workstation or tower. The T335 is specifically designed to work in conjunction with SATA and IDE removable drive trays, which should be mounted in close proximity to the T335 in the host computer.
In a typical system, one SATA and one IDE channel will be set for read-only mode and the remaining SATA channel will be set for read-write mode. In this way, the operator can use a write-blocked SATA or IDE drive bay to image a subject device, using the remaining SATA drive bay to write a copy of the image.
The T335 also includes an active FireWire800 hub and an active USB 2.0 hub, each with two connectors on the front of the unit. These front-mounted FireWire and USB connections are designed to give users convenient, front access to these high-speed ports, eliminating the need for a separate front-mount hub.
Special Bundles:
CRU Bundle: The T335 is available with one CRU DataPort V IDE Rail set, two CRU DataPort V SATA rail sets plus an additional IDE Tray for the READ/WRITE SATA Rail. Price: $854.00
External Bundle: An external 4 Bay unit with the T335 and CRU trays is available. Price: $1165.00
Tableau T3458 Forensic SATA/SCSI/IDE/USB Bridge
Part #: T3458is
MSRP: $979.00
Forensic Computers, Inc.: $979.00
The T3458is is the latest integrated OEM forensic bridge from Tableau. This product supports write-blocked acquisitions of four different types of storage media: SATA, SCSI, IDE, and USB.
The T3458is mounts in one 5.25" half-height drive bay at the front of a forensic workstation and connects to the host computer via one FireWire 800 and one SATA (optional) host connection. When both SATA and FireWire ports are connected to the host, the T3458is provides intelligent, redundant data transfers. Like all other Tableau products, firmware updates are performed over the FireWire host connection which offers a quick and seamless firmware upgrade experience.
As with all Tableau write-blockers, the T3458is automatically defeats HPA and detects DCO regions on IDE and SATA drives. Tableau firmware updates and the Tableau Disk Monitor software are included.
The T3458is Bundle comes with:
