The Tableau Forensic PCIe Bridge is the Tableau portable write-blocker that enables forensic acquisition of PCIe solid-state-drives when used with a Tableau PCIe Adapter.

FEATURES

Suitable for both the field and lab

Imaging speeds up to 330 MB/second

USB 3.0 host computer connection

Integrated, backlit LCD presents useful bridge and PCIe device information

Six LEDs provide status on power, host connection, PCIe media detection, write-block status, and activity

Read/write mode capability via internal DIP switch

NOTE: The Tableau Forensic PCIe Bridge must be used in combination with one of the Tableau PCIe Adapters: Tableau PCIe Card SSD AdapterTableau PCIe M.2 SSD Adapter, or Tableau PCIe Adapter for Apple SSD
