Forensic Device User Advisory

Your Forensic Field Kit contains one or more Forensic units. These units are write-blocked so nothing can be written to the source drive connected to them.

Prior to first use, please verify that the write-blocking function of these products is working properly. This is easily done: attach a known good formatted drive, and verify that the drive mounts properly on your computer. Use a drive that has data on it that you are willing to overwrite. Transfer files to the drive. The files will appear to transfer to the drive. Thereafter, dismount the drive and remount the drive. The files that you wrote to the drive should not appear after the drive is remounted. If they do appear, there is a problem with your Forensic Device, and you should contact our support department for further instructions.
