Tableau TX1
The Tableau TX1 is a powerful, yet intuitive, forensic imager that offers superior local and
networked imaging performance with no compromises. The touch screen user interface is easy
to use and provides a familiar user experience similar to modern tablets and smartphones. The
TX1 is custom built for forensics, and provides many standard and advanced features that
serve the specialized needs of digital forensics and incident response practitioners, including:
l
Acquisition of PCIe, USB 3.0, SATA, SAS, FireWire, IDE, and network shares (iSCSI and
CIFS).
Note: PCIe and IDE adapters (sold separately) are required to image these drive
types.
l
The ability to target file-based evidence with a powerful logical imaging function, including
an intelligent, easy to use search engine and industry standard file outputs (Lx01 and
metadata CSV files).
l
Output to USB 3.0, SATA, SAS, and network shares (iSCSI and CIFS).
l
The ability to export locally attached media as an iSCSI share for remote, network based
acquisition.
l
Support for cableless, toolless, SATA or SAS destination drive connections via the optional
drive bay (TX1-S1), which also provides drive cooling.
l
The ability to duplicate a source drive to up to four destination drives.
l
Destination drives that can be a mix of directly connected drives and network shares.
l
The ability to run multiple jobs in parallel of any type (clone, physical image, or logical
image) to any available destination media.
l
The ability to run up to two forensic jobs simultaneously and add additional jobs to the
queue.
l
Superior network imaging performance through a 10 gigabit Ethernet interface, with
auto-negotiation for use with slower 1 gigabit Ethernet networks.
l
Superior data transfer rates, even while performing calculations of MD5, SHA-1, and SHA-
256 hash values.
l
Viewing extensive drive detail, including filesystem information and available free space.
l
Detection and notification of many popular whole disk encryption types.
l
Browsing drive filesystems.
l
Extensive filesystem support - ExFAT, NTFS, EXT4, FAT32, and HFS+.
l
Whole-disk, open standard, destination drive encryption using XTS-AES.
l
Automatic blank checking of source and destination drives.
