Do-It-Yourself Data Collection A Hit At New York LegalTech Show.

Jan. 31, 2013 - PRLog -- PLANTATION, FL -- The January 29, 2013 introduction of Forensic Data Services’ DataFerret 5.0 Do-It-Yourself Data Collection Device was a hit with visitors to the LegalTech Trade Show in New York.

In the recent past, imaging a hard drive on a computer involved a computer forensics data collection team and a cartful of equipment to interrupt an office’s work flow. Today that has changed with The DataFerret 5.0 (http://Forensic-Data-Svc.com), “today’s most advanced Do-It-Yourself data collection device.”

“We call it the future of electronic discovery,” said its inventor Robert Moody, founder of Forensic Data Services. “It is a universe beyond traditional devices.”

The innovative DataFerret 5.0 is “a tremendous advance over the DataFerret collection device that we have been using and that has proven itself in the field with our technicians,” said Moody.

The size of the unit is about the same as a cellular phone, but the power and capacity are great. The DataFerret 5.0 can easily collect the information from multiple computer drives up to 1000 Gigabytes.

Using the DataFerret 5.0 to do a self-collection is easy and menu driven by the device. An easy-to-follow instruction booklet and “How To” video presentation make it easy for a layman to image one or more hard drives.

For more advanced users and requirements, The DataFerret 5.0 is feature laden to allow notations for evidence intake, chain of custody and analyst’s notes on-site. It also does custom collections of email, graphics and financial information and it searches based upon terms or file names.

The DataFerret 5.0 is so unique compared to anything else available that it has a patent pending and a growing reputation for reliability and ease of use.
