FDAS - Fast Disk Acquisition System Patent Pending Technology from CyanLine LLC

The basics

With FDAS, it is now possible to:

Image a 300GB disk drive in under 90 minutes.
Restart a disk acquisition after a power failure
View an image as it is being created.

Making a forensically sound copy of a disk drive is a critical step in investigations these days. It can be a time-consuming process with typical copies taking over an hour for a simple 80GB disk drive. This means that the imaging rate was barely 1GB/m.

CyanLine has researched this problem and discovered that traditional imaging speeds were too slow. The main problem discovered was that the disk being written to was too slow to handle the speed of the imaging process.

FDAS is much faster than typical forensic solutions, making a copy of an 80 GB disk drive in 26 minutes. This means that it is really copying the disk at over 3GB/m. The brochure provides more detail. And, a forensic soundness document describes the testing performed on the unit.
