Hello,
Just wondering how other members store and backup there digital evidence? Mainly E01 and E01X files.
Currently our plan was build a hardware raid setup which would be connected to 2 workstations via Infiniband 20GBPS ports.
Specs
RAID
8 x 2TB HDD Hardware RAID 6
Infiniband 2 x 20GB/s ports
Workstation 1 (ENCASE 7 PROCESSOR)
Evidence Cache- 2 x 512GB SSD'S Raid 0
Evidence Storage- 2 x 2TB HDD Raid 0
Infiniband 1x 20GB/s ports
Workstation 2 (ENCASE 7)
Infiniband 1 x 20GB/s port
We currently use the Tableau TD3 for evidence collection. The plan is to transfer the collected evidence from the TD3 to Workstation 1 for processing. Once processed the evidence would be packaged and transferred to the RAID. When the examiner is ready to examiner the evidence he/ she will access the evidence straight from the RAID. Once the case is closed the evidence and all associated files will be achieved to tape.
It is hoped that the RAID will produce around 600-800MB/s which the Infiniband should cope with easily. All HDD will be WD Black Drives.
I look forward to your thoughts and opinions
Regards
Jem
