Logicube Falcon®-NEO2 : A Practitioners Experience and Assessment

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.”
