write-blockers. By installing SAFE Block on your field and

firms, IT security and litigation support professionals, SAFE Block

SAFE Block performs all write blocking operations while
maximizing I/O performance, substantially reducing forensic disk
imaging times. Conversely, hardware write blockers use
proprietary hardware and firmware to block write operations and
perform computationally intensive protocol translation from one
interface to another, resulting in significant decline in I/O
performance. Forensic, security, and litigation support
professionals around the globe depend on SAFE Block for its speed,
convenience, and affordability. Unlike hardware write
blocking products, which require an investigator to purchase a
collection of devices to block each common disk interface, SAFE
Block is a single inexpensive software program that blocks all
interfaces including: IDE (PATA, SATA, & eSATA), SCSI, USB,
IEEE1394, Fibre Channel, SAS, SSD, CF/SD/MS/MMC/XD, and mobile
devices detected as a "Mass Storage Device" by Windows. SAFE
Block also lets you multi-task and write-block every device
simultaneously without being limited to how many hardware write
blockers you have. No more bulky kits to carry into the
field, and no power supplies to misplace or leave behind! One
program - significant speed increase - all interfaces - one low
price!
Combine SAFE Block with any Windows computer and a powerful
digital forensic platform is born. Investigators no longer
need to purchase expensive special-purpose "forensic computers"
with integrated hardware write blocking devices. Forensic
labs utilizing any server version of Windows with large storage
arrays to store forensic images can write protect the arrays with
SAFE Block thereby allowing protected access to the images.
For attorneys and litigation support professional who may receive
evidence on thumb drives or disks from clients, installing SAFE
Block on their office laptops and desktops will ensure all evidence
remains unaltered and forensically-sound, without hiring a computer
forensic expert.
SAFE Block Win8 is available at www.forensicsoft.com for both
the 32 and 64 bit platforms and are each priced at $549. Bulk discount prices are available
for all products on the ForensicSoft website. Existing
