Hard drives used for forensic collections store many forms of data such as forensic images, network and email data, smart phone and tablet data, databases, and more. New hard drives may have residual data, even right out of the box. Why risk the annoying allegation that you "may have" contaminated your forensic drive by not sanitizing it according to industry best practices. With a Silicon Forensics forensically sanitized hard drive, you have the peace of mind knowing that it will stand up in court.
Our "forensic drives" go through a tested and audited process to render them forensically sanitized and ready for use. We do this by performing a complete wipe and "full" NTFS format; then seal, date and initial the forensically wiped hard drive seal. This process has been audited by law enforcement officials as being a forensically sound best practice for ensuring sanitized hard drives.
Should there ever be a need for evidentiary reasons, Silicon Forensics can produce an affidavit as to our procedures for creating a forensically sanitized hard drive. Please ask about bulk purchase discounts.
