        This option adds 1 additional SATA\/SAS-ready source port and allows you to image from multiple source drives to multiple destinations simultaneously. This option also provides support to image one drive while hashing and\/or wiping a second drive simultaneously. Users can perform up to 5 tasks concurrently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Networking<\/strong>
        This feature provides the ability to image to or from a network location. Use the Talon Ultimate to image to a network repository using CIFS protocol and\/or image from a network repository using iSCSI. Users can use iSCSI as a source or destination drive. Also features a network \u201cPush\u201d function to push evidence files from destination drives connected to Talon Ultimate to a network repository. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Image from a desktop or laptop PC<\/strong>
        This feature allows you to image without removing the hard drive from the PC or laptop. Create a forensic bootable USB flash drive that allows the user to image a source drive from a computer on the same network without booting the computer\u2019s native operating system. Requires our USB boot client software (available in our Knowledge Base on our website). Supports imaging from Surface Pro 4 laptops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Image From a MAC™<\/strong> 
        Image from a MAC™ system booted in \u201ctarget disk mode\u201d using the write-blocked FireWire port on Talon Ultimate (requires the purchase of the FireWire option). The MAC\u2019s internal drive is seen as a \u201csource\u201d drive. MACs with either FireWire or Thunderbolt ports can be connected to the Talon Ultimate, a Thunderbolt to FireWire adapter is required. MAC As A Source Drive Application Note. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Web Browser\/Remote Operation<\/strong>
        An easy to use and intuitive interface allows you to connect to the Talon Ultimate from a web browser and manage all operations remotely. The browser features automatic page scaling for iPad type devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Broad Interface Support<\/strong>
        Built-in support for SATA\/USB3 storage devices. SAS and FireWire devices are supported with the purchase of software options. 2.5\u2033\/3.5\u2033 IDE drives are supported with an adapter included with Talon Ultimate. Support for 1.8\u2033 IDE and 1.8\u2033 IDE ZIF, microSATA, eSATA, mSATA and flash drives is available with optional adapters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Wipe <\/strong>
        Wipe up to DoD specifications or use Secure Erase to erase drives, wipe at speeds up to 27GB\/min. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Error Granularity Setting<\/strong>
        Drive error handling is enhanced with a configurable error granularity feature. When a bad sector on the source drive is found Talon Ultimate will, by default skip that sector. Changing the granularity allows more sectors to be skipped. There are 3 options ( 512 Bytes, 4096 Bytes, 64 KIB,). As an example, if 4096 Bytes is chosen, and one of the 8 sectors in that cluster size contains a bad sector, the Talon Ultimate will skip the entire cluster (or 4096 bytes or 8 sectors).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        PCIe Support<\/strong>
        Support for imaging from M.2 PCIe (SATA, AHCI and NVMe types), PCIe and mini-PCIe express cards are available using the Talon Ultimate\u2019s PCIe port and optional adapters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Write-blocked Drive Preview\/Triage<\/strong>
        Preview drives connected to Talon Ultimate on a PC with the USB3.0 device port software activation option. Users can also copy files from drives to their PC when this option is enabled. The Talon Ultimate can be used as a write-blocker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        File Browser<\/strong>
        Write-blocked preview of drive contents directly on the Talon Ultimate is available using the file browser feature. This provides logical access to source or destination drives connected to Talon Ultimate. Users can view the drive\u2019s partitions and contents, and view text files, PDF, XML, HTML files. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Concurrent Image+Verify<\/strong>
        Imaging and verifying concurrently takes advantage of destination hard drives that may be faster than the source hard drive. Duration of total image process time may be reduced by up to half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Parallel Imaging<\/strong>
        Perform multiple imaging tasks from the same source drive to multiple destinations using different imaging formats. Clone to a network location or a destination drive using mirror copy mode while simultaneously imaging in e01 or .dd format to a different destination drive. Requires the purchase of the Multi-Task option. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Optional Targeted\/Logical Imaging<\/strong>
        The feature allows you to create a logical image using pre-set, custom filters, file signature filters and\/or keyword search to capture only the specific files needed. An MFT report can be generated that contains a potential deleted file list. Format output to L01, LX01, ZIP or directory tree. Users can browse and view directly on the Talon Ultimate display, or use a web browser on a PC that is connected to the same network as the Talon Ultimate. Requires the purchase of the Targeted Imaging option. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Encryption<\/strong>
        Secure sensitive evidence data with whole drive AES 256 bit encryption. Decryption can be performed using the Talon Ultimate or by using a free open source decryption software such as VeraCrypt, TrueCrypt or FreeOTFE (On The Fly Encryption).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        ATA Security<\/strong>
        Unlock and clone ATA Security locked drives. Temporarily unlock drives and then clone, hash or wipe. Requires ATA Security password to unlock <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Drive Trim<\/strong>
        Allows the Talon Ultimate to manipulate the DCO and HPA area of the destination drive so that the destination drive\u2019s total native capacity matches the source drive<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        CD\/DVD Blu-Ray<\/strong>
        The Talon Ultimate can image CD\/DVD\/Blu-Ray media by using a USB optical drive connected to the USB port on the Talon Ultimate. Supports multi-session CD\/DVDs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
