“When Logicube’s last forensic imager (Falcon®-NEO) was released in 2018 and the massive enhancements and capabilities that it introduced to the digital forensic market, it was difficult to imagine that any new or competing products could reach, let alone surpass, its specification in the next few following years. An assessment done by me in 2021 on the Falcon®-NEO found it to be the Best-In-Class among all digital forensic imagers available to forensic examiners. While the first part of that prediction has indeed materialized and other digital forensic imagers are still a generation behind the preceding Falcon®-NEO’s features, Logicube themselves have been the ones to surpass the standards set by it by the introduction and release of the Falcon®-NEO2. While maintaining the same size, footprint, GUI, and look and feel as their last product, the Falcon®-NEO2 packs such a collection of new technologies, additional ports, accessories, and unprecedented imaging speeds into its box as to make it a groundbreaking powerhouse available to discerning forensic examiners. Falcon®-NEO2 is the first field forensic imager to surpass the 100 GB/Min E01 imaging speeds. The upgrade of the SAS source and destination ports of the product to SAS-3 (12 Gb/s) and its USB ports to USB 3.2 Gen-2 (10 Gb/s) and the inclusion of the Cloud Storage Acquisition capability as a standard feature, along with a multitude of options that enable the support for practically every drive technology, make Falcon®-NEO2 the most powerful and peerless field forensic imager, bar none. In their marketing literature, Logicube refer to the Falcon®-NEO2 as the “Best Ever” forensic imager made. While it is neither the purpose nor the purview of this assessment to validate that claim, it is indeed the finding of this assessment that no other digital forensic imager has ever reached the levels set by the Falcon®-NEO2 in terms of the breadth and multiplicity of its features, functions, capabilities, technologies, and certainly its imaging speeds.”
