Diskology has brought out a new version of their award-winning Disk Jockey portable hard disk duplicator. The new model includes a write blocking feature essential for computer forensic examinations.
“When we began selling the Disk Jockey we primarily focused on the IT market,” said Diskology CEO Tony Overbay. “The fast-growing forensic market found us based on our price point and feature set. We were missing one piece, however, the ability to block writes to a suspect’s hard drive after a copy. They told us what they wanted, and we did it.”
The Disk Jockey is a Swiss Army Knife of a product. It can be used on a Microsoft Windows or Apple Macintosh computer or as a stand-alone device. The Disk Jockey mounts IDE hard disk drives via USB 2.0 or Firewire (IEEE 1394) as well as mirrors, spans, copies, compares, tests and erases hard disk drives using either a 1-pass or a 3-pass erase per the US National Security Administration (NSA) guidelines.
The Disk Jockey “Forensic Kit” retails for $429 and includes the write-blocking Disk Jockey, SATA adapter and extended 2.5” and 3.5” cables. The standard Disk Jockey without write blocking is available for $349. More information on the Disk Jockey can be found at www.diskology.com.
