1: Introduction
1.0 Introduction to the Logicube Falcon-NEO
The next-generation of our ground-breaking Falcon® forensic imager, the Falcon®-NEO has
been engineered specifically for digital forensic investigations. Delivering high performance and
advanced features, the Falcon-NEO is designed to meet the challenges of digital investigations
head-on. Efficient and secure digital evidence collection is accomplished with a feature-set that
provides sophisticated functionality with a goal to shorten acquisition time. Future-focused, the
Falcon-NEO sets new standards in digital forensic imaging technology.
1.1 Features
•The Falcon®-NEO is an extremely fast forensic imaging solution. It achieves imaging
speeds surpassing 50GB/min and can clone PCIe to PCIe at speeds of 69GB/min.
•Image and verify to multiple image formats; native copy, .dd image, .dmg image, e01
and ex01. The Falcon-NEO provides MD5, SHA1, SHA256, and dual hash (MD5+SHA1)
authentication at extremely fast speeds.
•Falcon-NEO formats destination drives to NTFS, exFAT, EXT4, or FAT32 file systems. The
unit supports imaging from source drives formatted to any major file system.
•Four Write-blocked source ports include 2 SAS/SATA, 1 USB 3.0, 1 PCIe. Six
Destination ports include 2 SAS/SATA, 2 SATA, 1 USB 3.0 and 1 PCIe. All destination
ports are built-in to the unit, no additional module or bay attachments required.
