Built on the strength and reputation of Tableau's TD1, the newly released TD2 Forensic Duplicator delivers advanced functions and exceptional performance in a compact, durable and easy-to-use package.  This second-generation product was engineered for standalone forensic acquisitions in both field and lab settings, natively imaging both SATA and IDE/PATA hard drives at speeds up to 9GB/min.  Utilizing the same protocol modules as TD1, investigations can (optionally) include USB, SCSI and SAS suspect drives.

New for TD2 is "Twinning" support, for 1:2 drive duplication.  Standard features include Disk-to-Disk-to-File duplication, Format, Wipe, Hash (MD5 or SHA-1), HPA/DCO detection and removal, and Blank Disk Check.  TD2 can write out in Raw DD, EnCase .e01 (compressed) and is field upgradable to EnCase v7 .ex01 (AES encrypted).  As with all Tableau forensic products, TD2 is firmware upgradeable through the Tableau Firmware Update (TFU) utility.

The TD2 is a complete kit including the TP4 high-output power supply, SATA and IDE drive and power cables, a FireWire cable for firmware updates, three different notebook drive adapters and a quick-start guide.  The kit also includes a custom foam insert which protects kit contents during shipment and can be transferred directly to any of several industry-standard hard-sided cases.
