Workflow

1. Drive diagnostics

Atola imagers are the only products in both forensic and data recovery industries with the ability to automatically and accurately evaluate a hard drive's health and pinpoint specific problems. Atola Insight automatically diagnoses the drive's PCB, heads, media surface, firmware, and partitions, assesses imaging time, and creates a detailed report. The Diagnostics module helps you take informed decisions when getting down to imaging.

2. ATA password removal

Atola Insight automatically removes ATA passwords from hard drives in just 2 minutes. This sophisticated feature is executed with one click of a button. Whenever possible, the extracted password is displayed upon its removal.

3. Evidence drive imaging

Retrieving every fragment of data from a drive is a crucial to a forensically sound data acquisition. Atola Insight's imaging system allows completely customizing imaging process to handle even damaged or unstable media.

It includes selective head imaging, which enables an individual imaging approach to each one based on the status of specific heads as identified by the Diagnostics module.

Not only does the imaging system copes with damaged drives, but also it runs multi-threaded sector-level analysis in the course of image acquisition:

4. Forensic file recovery

Insight's file recovery module is simple, intuitive, and effective. It integrates seamlessly with the imaging functionality and the Case Management system to retrieve data effectively.
