The T4 Forensic SCSI Bridge is a write-blocker for use with SCSI (Small Computer Systems Interface) hard disks.

With throughput as high as 80MB/s, the Tableau T4 Forensic SCSI Bridge stands alone for computer forensic applications. No other SCSI forensic product can match the speed and ease-of-use of the Tableau T4.

The T4 is compatible with SCSI devices through the fastest Ultra 320 hard disks currently on the market. The T4 will negotiate with the SCSI device to use the fastest available 16-bit or 8-bit SCSI transfer mode up to 80MB/s. And the T4 is compatible with both LVD (Low-Voltage Differential) and SE (Single-Ended) SCSI devices.

And with the T4, forget about jumpers. The T4 automatically scans the SCSI bus to find the SCSI device, so you don't need to worry about SCSI ID settings.

The Tableau T4 includes both FireWire800 and USB 2.0 host interfaces, offering maximum flexibility when connecting the T4 to the host computer. FireWire800 (1394B) offers the best performance, while retaining backwards compatibility with FireWire400 (1394A) systems. USB 2.0 offers increased flexibility by supporting computers which don't have FireWire, but do have a USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 interface.

There are multiple power supply options, an integrated power switch - which also switches power to the hard disk, and seven indicator LEDs. The LEDs convey at a glance how the T4 is working, showing input power status, power ON status, SCSI device presence, host interface status, write-blocking status, and hard disk activity. Everything is housed in a clean, compact enclosure made from lightweight yet rugged ABS plastic which won't scratch other components in a field kit bag.

And, you can even make the T4 field-switchable between read-only and read-write modes if you choose to remove a knock-out panel on the plastic enclosure.
