Imaging of damaged drives
1. Drive diagnostics
Atola Insight Forensic is the product in both forensic and data recovery industries with the ability to accurately evaluate a hard drive's health and pinpoint specific problems. This feature allows the users of such Atola forensic data recovery tools to take into account all factors before they get down to imaging
2. ATA password removal
Atola Insight Forensic automatically removes ATA passwords from hard drives in just 2 minutes. This highly complex feature can be executed by the operator with one click of a button. Whenever possible, the extracted password is displayed upon its removal.
3. Evidence drive imaging
Extracting every fragment of data from hard drive is a crucial part of the data acquisition process. Insight's imaging system allows the user to completely customise the imaging process to handle even damaged or unstable media.
This module now comes standard with SELECTIVE HEAD IMAGING. This allows the operator to identify the status of a specific read/write head and create an individual imaging approach to each one
4. File recovery
Insight's file recovery engine is simple, intuitive, and effective. It integrates seamlessly with Disk Imaging and Case Management systems to effectively extract data.
Smooth case management
Atola Insight Forensic is the only data recovery product built with case management in mind. All functions are tied to one-another. The system tracks and records every action taken with a hard drive. If a session is stopped and the hard drive is disconnected from Atola Insight and then later reconnected, the system will recognise the hard drive and give the operator the option to re-open the case.
Well-rounded feature set
Atola Insight Forensic is equipped with a range of utility features for each step of the data acquisition process. These features include:
Forensic artifact finder
Segmented hashing
Device configuration for modifying hard drive parameters
HDD current monitoring for continuous diagnosis
Disk editor for modifying hard drive data
Security features like add/remove password
Ability to create custom scripts with low-level drive access
Comparison of 1 drive against up to 3 drives or images
Forensic target drive wiping including Secure Erase
