The system has just received a revamped hardware unit named DiskSense 2. It is still a very compact device, which nevertheless possesses immense power thanks to the server-grade motherboard and CPU. Another great addition is the ECC RAM module, which helps avoid even the tiniest chance of data corruption during data transfer.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The hardware revamp is great news for small forensic labs that have been experiencing higher data volumes within their investigations: DiskSense 2 allows performing 3 imaging sessions in parallel.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>DiskSense 2 is equipped with 6 source ports:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>3 SATA<\/li>\r\n<li>1 IDE<\/li>\r\n<li>1 USB<\/li>\r\n<li>Extension port for SAS, M.2 NVMe\/PCIe\/SATA SSD, Thunderbolt, Apple PCIe SSD.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The 4 target ports are:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>3 SATA<\/li>\r\n<li>1 USB<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Imaging sessions can run to 3 targets each.
