Many of those who read this blog, whether in-house or from law firms, are not necessarily going to understand the technical minutiae which lie behind Guidance Software’s latest announcement, headed Guidance Software Debuts Fastest Forensic Bridge  about its faster than ever Tableau® T35u USB 3.0 forensic SATA/IDE bridge for forensic imaging in both lab and field environments.

If the lawyers don’t get the details, that hardly matters – lawyers instruct forensic experts to deal with deeply technical things in the same way as clients instructed lawyers. The word which matters is “fastest”.

If the forensic experts can collect data faster then the lawyers can begin more quickly to examine the data and start making tactical and strategic decisions about its use. A faster process is, generally speaking, also a cheaper one because less time is spent collecting the data and work fewer hours generally means lower costs.

The T35u is available now.
