Atola TaskForce

Imaging and RAID functionality are enhanced in the new release: Enjoy the RAID 10 and XFS support as well as HEX and Signature tabs in imaging.

For examiners who need to ensure they are using specific imaging settings for certain types of drives or cases, TaskForce has presets functionality for easy, one-click switching to a specific imaging routine. Presets can be shared with colleagues who use another TaskForce with a simple export/import.

When you need to wipe a bunch of target drives for subsequent imaging sessions or double-check hash values on multiple drives in your archive, multi-launch functionality in TaskForce helps you save time and avoid repeated clicks to complete such multi-drive tasks. This function is currently supported for three single-drive tasks: Hashing, Wiping, Diagnostics.

Looking back at these three years, you notice how fast TaskForce has transformed. From an extremely flexible high-capacity imager with a traditional forensic feature set to an even more productive and innovative tool. TaskForce now offers unique solutions for emerging and long-standing problems of forensic examiners like RAID support and automation.

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…
