DI FRED Systems

• The industry's first FireWire Write-Blocker.
• Completely integrated / internal system solution.
• Integrated Write Blocked (Read-Only) Ports:
  • SATA
  • IDE
  • SCSI (both SE and LVD Devices)
  • USB
  • FireWire 1394b/800 (1394a/400 backward compatible).
• Integrated Read/Write Ports (Hubs):
  • FireWire 1394b/800 (1 Port)
  • USB 2.0 (2 ports)
• Integral LCD/keypad for viewing device and bridge status/info and configuration.
• Full multi-LUN FireWire acquisition support is provided for Write Protected imaging of Apple Mac systems
  booted to FireWire device mode.
• The UltraBay II provides both dedicated Write Protected USB and FireWire ports, as well as dedicated
  Read/Write USB and FireWire ports.
• SATA/IDE/SCSI ports can be temporarily switched between Write Blocked (Read-Only) and Read/Write modes via LCD/keypad configuration. To maximize forensic safety, the UltraBay II automatically reverts to Write-Blocked mode at power-up and after a drive is detached:
  • The SATA/IDE/SCSI ports auto-configure to Write Protected (Read-Only) mode at every power up.
  • The SATA/IDE/SCSI ports may be manually configured to allow Read/Write operation using the
    front panel LCD Control after a drive is connected.
  • The SATA/IDE/SCSI ports automatically revert to Write Protected (Read-Only) operation after the drive is removed.
• The UltraBay II has both FireWire800 and SATA internal connections to the FRED System for write blocked services. Future firmware updates will allow simultaneous connection and smart inter-operation between FW800 and SATA interfaces for maximum aggregate performance and functionality.
• Firmware updates available at no charge through Tableau Firmware Update. Unlike less-functional
  integrated solutions, all firmware updates can be applied using existing communication channels and do not require labor-intensive temporary re-cabling of the forensic workstation.
• Full HPA/DCO support for SATA & IDE devices.
• SCSI supports SE and LVD devices.
• The USB 2.0 write-blocked port has same range of device support as The UltraBlock USB (T8). Additionally, the USB implementation is about 25-35% faster than the standalone UltraBlock USB (T8).
• FireWire write-blocked port has 9-pin FW800 connector and supports both FW400 and FW800 devices.
• The UltraBay II is supported by Tableau Disk Monitor application.
• The UltraBay II is supported by Tableau "tabphys" library. This will allow it to be recognized by Encase upon release of the updated Encase imager by Guidance Software.

Please note:  The UltraBay II is exclusively available with select Digital Intelligence FRED systems and is not available separately or from any other source.
