Logicube Forensic Falcon™ User’s Manual 157
Q. Can I remove the internal hard drive for secure locations or SCIFs?
A. Often investigators must work in a sensitive compartmentalized information facility (SCIF). These
secure areas have very stringent requirements regarding the use of electronic devices to ensure
sensitive information does not leave the confines of the SCIF. The Falcon has been designed with a
removable internal hard drive. The Falcon’s operating system, system settings and log files are all
stored on this internal drive. If an investigation requires that the Falcon must be removed from the
SCIF or be transported to another location, the internal drive can be removed prior to leaving the
facility. It is a good practice to always make a back-up copy of the hard drive prior to entering a
secure location.
Q. If I am imaging to or from USB enclosures, will the Falcon’s USB ports power my devices or will an
additional power source be required?
A. Each of the Falcon’s USB ports meets the standard specification of up to 5V of power. If your USB
device has higher power requirements an external power source will be necessary. Check with the
manufacturer of your USB device to determine the exact power requirements.
Q. Can the Falcon image to an external storage device such as a NAS (Network Attached Storage)?
A. Yes, Falcon can image to external storage devices. The external device can be connected to Falcon via
the Gigabit Ethernet or via the destination ports (USB 3.0 or the SAS/SATA) built into Falcon. If the
external storage device has a RAID configuration it will require that it be configured as a single drive.
Any source drive connected to Falcon can be imaged directly to the external storage device.
