Hello all.
I am building a forensic hard drive acquisition kit.
I'd like to spend money as wisely as possible, and so I have a question.
Which of the two scenarios below would be recommended, and, if you don't mind, why?
Scenario 1
Purchase a forensic bridge for each type of host drive interface that I plan to be prepared to acquire. So, say, SAS, SATA/IDE, Firewire 400 & 800, USB?
or
Scenario 2
Purchase a single type of forensic bridget, say, the newest Tableau eSata bridge and deal with the host interfaces by having hard drive interface adapters or a single all-in-one hard drive interface adapter? Of course, one would purchase as many of the bridge as he/she anticipated needing for concurrent acquisitions. Multi function adapter of a similar type to this perhaps... http://www.archgon.com/Web_en/MH-2624.htm
Is there any advantage to having all the bridges with all the complimentary cabling? Purchasing all the bridges is certainly bound to be more expensive.
Many thanks,
A
