About Forensic LabDock

Lawyers, forensics investigators, and techs who want to create a digital forensic workstation rely upon the CRU® WiebeTech® LabDock™. Installed in a standard 5.25" bay, the Forensic LabDock gives convenient, forensic access to suspect hard drives. Write-blocking is done in hardware, with proven WiebeTech write-blocking technology.

Write-blocked access to thumb drives is just as convenient as write-blocked SATA and IDE. The Forensic LabDock FLDu model also incorporates a USB WriteBlocker, so you can forensically access USB thumb drives or many full size USB enclosures. Most USB 1.1 and 2.0 devices that normally register with the computer as a "USB Mass Storage Device" are supported.

Do you know what could be lurking in the hidden areas of a hard drive? HPA (Host Protected Areas) or DCO (Device Configuration Overlays) can exist on hard drives, which are not detected or accessible by your operating system. The Forensic LabDock will alert you if these areas exist, so you can inspect them. The Forensic LabDock comes with software to let you choose how to handle any hidden areas it encounters.

Forensic LabDock offers native connections for the most common drives types, such as SATA and IDE/PATA. Optional SATA and PATA Adapters are available that allow access to many additional types of drives such as ZIF drives, notebook drives, drives found in iPods, and more. SATA and PATA Adapters work with many of our docking products, including the Forensic LabDock.

Additional features:

  • 2-year warranty
  • Includes cables
  • Free US-based customer support
