SAFE Block

SAFE Block is the latest innovation in the realm of System Utilities and specifically in the Backup & Restore subcategory. The latest version, 1.3, developed by Forensicsoft, Inc., presents a user-friendly and efficient solution for write-blocking directly attached storage media on Windows workstations.

This software stands out with its impressive speed and reliability, proving to be much faster than traditional hardware write blocking solutions. The application, named SAFEBlock.exe, occupies a modest 5.5 MB of disk space and ensures the safe acquisition and analysis of any disk or flash storage media.

SAFE Block is particularly beneficial in scenarios requiring simultaneous write-blocking of multiple disk devices. Unlike hardware-based solutions, there is no need to employ multiple expensive devices, which makes it both a cost-effective and time-saving tool. It works seamlessly with all forensic acquisition and analysis applications compatible with Windows, ensuring wide application flexibility.

One of the key features of SAFE Block is its ability to identify and access Host Protected Areas (HPAs) and Device Configuration Overlays (DCOs) on IDE (PATA and SATA) disks, connected directly via PATA or SATA controllers. These features are vital for forensic professionals, who require precise and accurate disk imaging without permanent changes to the disk configuration. More
