We have tested the HardCopy II and were so impressed that we have added it to our own equipment inventory. In our years of experience we have never seen a faster way to image evidence hard drives. Below are some real-world test results. This is a tool that should be in the kit of every forensic examiner.

The review posted on VOOM's website is a good review, but we had several questions that it did not answer. The solution was to run our own tests.
| Evidence Drive | Image Time | Transfer Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Maxtor 30GB 3.5" 5400rpm | 22:31 | 1.6GB/min |
| Hitachi 30GB 2.5" 4800rpm | 31:12 | 0.96GB/min |
| WD 120GB 7200rpm | 43:42 | 2.74GB/min |
| WD 250GB SATA 7200rpm | 1:31:00 | 2.74GB/min |
| Wipe WD 250GB 7200rpm | 1:21:11 | 3.08GB/min |
The time to image a drive depends on many factors. Using our exsisting lab tools the WD 250GB drive was imaged in EnCase in 3:01:00 (1.38GB/min). HardCopyII cut that time in half! As drives get bigger and faster HardCopyII will keep up. It can support transfer rates up to 5.5GB/min. Nothing else is easier or faster, and there is a SCSI version, too.
