INTRODUCTION
This document provides technical information for the Tableau T35i combination Forensic
SATA/IDE Bridge.
The T35i combines two separate forensic bridges (IDE, and SATA) into one convenient package
while providing native support for each hard disk technology. The T35i is designed to be installed
permanently in the front of a forensic workstation or tower which has an open 5.25" half-height
drive bay.
The T35i connects to the host computer through a FireWire800 (1394B) interface. Using FireWire
as the interface to the host computer allows modern operating systems to recognize that the drives
themselves are hot-swappable. This, in turn, eliminates the need to turn the host computer ON and
OFF each time a new hard disk is attached or removed; only the T35i needs to be power cycled.
The combination of hot-swapping and the READ-ONLY forensic mode of operation make the
T35i ideally suited for use in high-volume forensic applications.
BRIDGE OVERVIEW
The picture below is a close-up front view of the T35i.
