SOLO 5 ENTERPRISE M.2 I7 - IT
Validated Speeds of 69GB/min* From 1 PCIe M.2 to another PCIe M.2
The new Image MASSter™ Solo 5 Enterprise Forensic takes the IM Solo-4 G3 Slim to a whole new level. Faster by far and more flexible than any other unit on the market, the new Solo 5 Enterprise Forensic is also less expensive. The new Solo 5 Enterprise Forensic shares the same footprint of the successful and established IMSolo-4 G3 Slim. Without compromising any of the IMSolo-4 G3 Slim’s features, the Solo 5 Enterprise Forensic offers two additional, unique 4-lane PCIe Expansion Ports, allowing it to acquire data at validated Speeds of 69GB/min from a PCIe M.2 storage device to another PCIe M.2. The new Solo 5 Enterprise Forensic is configured with an Intel i7™ processor. With a total of 17 I/O ports, the Solo 5 Enterprise Forensic has the capability of supporting the simultaneous acquisition of up to 16 storage devices, providing the user with maximum cost/performance flexibility for Forensic Data Acquisition and Analysis Operations. NOTE: This product has capability to add the ACC-5000-001 M.2 2-channel "M" key NVMe/PCIe drive module, but does not include that module. If you need M.2 "M" key NVMe drive capability, the ACC-5000-001 may be ordered and added at any time; if you need that capability immediately, please refer to the KIT-5001-307 which includes this module standard.

The Image MASSter units support all types of interfaces from IDE, SATA and SCSI to Firewire 800 and USB 2.0. ICS further supports customers by providing customized solutions whether it is a specialized unit design or the ability to clone proprietary software.
Forensic Products
ICS is a widely known and well-respected industry leader in Computer Forensic Data Acquisition. In the mid-nineties ICS introduced innovative forensic tools based on its patented technology of capturing data at high speeds, to fight surging computer-based crimes such as identity theft, child pornography, etc. The forensic products developed by ICS have been designed as a result of close consultation and cooperation with various law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and other parts of the world.
As illustrated in the following pages, ICS now offers state-of-the-art technology in its latest computer forensic hard drive data capturing products. These products are based on knowledge accumulated over the last 24 years, providing basis for highly reliable designs and sound engineering, and are produced in U.S.-based manufacturing facilities. These products support all the latest forensic analysis tools available in the market, including Encase by Guidance Software and FTK by Access Data and I Look, thus allowing the capture and acquisition of data and analysis at speeds previously unknown in the industry. ICS forensic products, on the strength of their innovative and creative designs, have forged a new standard by which others are judged in helping the efforts of law enforcement agencies and corporate security departments. Today these products are being used by both Federal and Local Law Enforcement Agencies and Private Corporations in the US, Canada, Europe, the Middle East, Australia, New Zealand, China, Japan and India.
