Atola TaskForce 2 is a top-performance forensic imager capable of running 25+ imaging sessions in parallel, automatically retrieve data from damaged media, detect and reassemble unknown RAID arrays.
TaskForce 2 has 26 ports: 8 SATA, 8 SAS/SATA, 4 NVMe(M.2 and U.2), 4 USB, IDE and extensions for Thunderbolt and Apple PCIe SSDs. Two 10Gb Ethernet ports are available for fast data transfer. Device racks for convenient and secure drive organization.
TaskForce 2 can be connected to a network and operated by multiple users in Google Chrome browser on their own devices. An offline Kiosk mode use is available, too.
Imaging 25+ drives simultaneously at 25 TB/hour
Atola TaskForce 2 lets you multi-task using the fastest imaging engine thanks to its server-grade motherboard, 16-thread Xeon CPU 3.7 GHz and ECC RAM
- 25+ imaging sessions in parallel plus other tasks
- 25 TB/hour cumulative speed of imaging
- imaging at 500+ MB/sec on SSDs, 4 GB/sec on NVMe
- Source/target switch on all ports for maximum flexibility
- Hardware write protection in Source mode on all ports
- Integration with workflow automation tools via Web API
- Pause and resume any imaging session
- Imaging to up to 5 targets including E01, RAW, AFF4 files in the networks, on other drives, VeraCrypt-protected drives
- Express mode (configure, activate and connect drives to have them imaged without further clicks into the selected destination)
- Powerful logical imaging module with smart filters for files and folders, time and size ranges to save time and target space
RAID autodetection, reassembly and imaging
Autodetection for RAID arrays with an unknown configuration:
- identifies RAID type by reading data on selected members
- processes thousands of potential configuration variants
- one-click application of a suggested configuration
- partition preview for visual assessment of a reassembled RAID
- rebuild of RAID even with a missing or damaged device (for redundancy-based RAID)
- physical or logical imaging of a complete RAID or its elements
- Currently supported: RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, JBOD
