.: Extreme Speed Built for Today's and Tomorrow's Hard Drive Technology: Built to work with the fastest  hard drives available, Solo-4 captures, authenticates and sanitizes at SATA-2 speed (18 GB/min top capability). This technology not only allows the unit to take advantage of today's fastest hard drive speeds but also allows the user to be prepared for tomorrow's future hard drive speed improvements.
.: Multiple "Suspect" Side Connections: 2 SATA/SAS connections and 2 USB 2.0 connections (Operator can choose to use either the SAS/SATA connection or the USB connection for each of the two "Suspect" positions) Unit features built-in support for imaging of a RAID drive pair (0,1,JBOD).
IDE drive adapter included.  Optional drive adapters for 1.8", 2.5" ZIF, and proprietary interface/Laptop drives, and Micro Media Cards including Compact Flash, Memory Sticks, SD, Micro SD, MultiMedia cards, etc.Cross Copy support allows user to image any "Suspect" Drive interface to any "Evidence" Drive Interface. ( ie. IDE "Suspect" drive to a SATA "Evidence" drive)
All "Suspect" Drive connections are permanently write-protected at all times to prevent changing of "Suspect" Data (cannot be disabled)
.: Multiple "Evidence" Side Connections: 2 SATA/SAS connections and 2 USB 2.0 connections. Optional Drive Adapters will allow imaging to many other drive formats including external RAID devices.
.: Multiple Operational Modes: Captures "Suspect" drives to one "Evidence" Drive (Single Copy Mode), Captures "Suspect" drive to two "Evidence" drives (Multi Copy Mode), Captures two "Suspect" Drives to two "Evidence Drives (Parallel Copy), Drive Wiping and Sanitization, Drive Hashing (SHA-1, SHA-2). All processes are done simultaneously with no speed degradation.
.: Multiple Imaging Formats: 100% Copy (bit-by-bit), Linux DD images (industry standard), and E01 imaging files (EnCase forensic file format) on a "Evidence" Hard Drive or USB storage device. User can define the size of the Linux DD segments.
 .:  Multiple File Format Support: Seize Data using Raw Mirror Capture Format, Raw Segment File Format or Encase (E01) File Format.
.: "On the fly" Drive Image Encryption: Built-in DiskCypher technology allows the full encryption (AES 192/256) of Forensic Images. The process is done without speed degradation during the acquisition process.
.: Windows XP Operating System: Solo-4 runs on the highly stable and proven Windows XP Operating System. Unit can be customized to individual organization needs upon request.
.: Drive Spanning: Solo-4 allows for the imaging from one large "Suspect" Drive to multiple smaller "Evidence" Drives.
.: Image Restore: Restore a previously captured DD or E01 Image to a fully bootable 100% working copy.
.: Drive Wiping: Supports single pass or full DoD Sanitization.
.: Multiple Hash Verifications: SHA-1, SHA-2, MD-5 of the Suspect Hard Drive and DD Images
.: Uploads "Suspect" Images to Network Storage: Solo-4 forensically uploads "Suspect" Data Images to Networked Storage Area using 1 Gigabit Ethernet Connection for the purpose of processing and archiving forensic images.
.: Preview "Suspect" Data directly on the unit: Preview active files on the "Suspect" Drive utilizing Windows XP file viewers.

The following Software features come standard with the IM Solo-4 Forensic unit:
.: Device Configuration Overlay (DCO) : DCO can be used to hide and protect a portion of the drive’s area from the operating system and file system.  If DCO is detected on a Suspect’s drive, the IM Solo-3 Forensic's seizure operation will capture the DCO hidden sectors.
.: Host Protected Area (HPA) : An HPA area may exist on a drive, hiding a certain portion of the drive’s contents from the operating system and file system.  If an HPA area exists on a Suspect’s drive, the IM Solo-3 Forensic's seizure operation will detect and capture data from the HPA area.
.: WipeOut DoD : WipeOut was designed to meet the U.S. Department of Defense specification DOD 5220-22M regarding the sanitization of hard disk drive data.  Three iterations are performed to completely erase data and the contents of a hard disk drive.  Each iteration makes two write passes over the entire drive.
.: WipeOut Fast : The WipeOut Fast option provides a quick non-DoD method of sanitizing a drive of all previously stored data.
.: Linux-DD Capture : The LinuxDD Capture option captures data as individual “LinuxDD” segmented files.  This option also allows multiple data capture to be performed using the same Evidence drive.
.: E01 Capture : Supports imaging to EnCase forensic image file
.: Image Restore: Restore a previously captured DD Image or E01 imaging files to a fully bootable 100% working copy.
.: Linux DD Hashing: Hashes DD Images
.: 100% Copy: Bit-by-bit Copy
.: "On the fly" Drive Image Encryption: Built-in DiskCypher software allows the encryption of "Evidence" Images during the acquisiton phase.
.:  Multiple File Format Support: Seize Data using Raw Mirror Capture Format, Raw Segment File Format or Encase (E01) File Format. The Mirror Capture Format transfers data to the Destination drive using the same LBA location which was read from the Source Drive. The Raw Segment File Format creates an NTFS partition on the Destination Drive and transfers data as Raw Segment files to a Destination folder. The Encase (E01) Segment file format creates an NTFS partition on the Destination drive and transfers data using the Encase Segment file format, to a destination folder. The Segment files size can be defined as 640 MB, 1GB, 2GB, 4.7GB, Whole Drive or Custom Size.
