RAID 53 Computer Forensics

Computer Forensics on RAID 53 systems is very complex. Often there will be issues with configuring the way that the RAID was initially set up to access the data. RAIDS.co.uk prefer to use the experts Computer Forensic Specialists at Disklabs Computer Forensics. Sometimes the person who set the RAID up has left the company, and the new IT manager, Network Administrator, Systems Administrator may not know how it was originally set up, therefore when it fails, they are at a loss. If it fails and an investigation is required, it is imperative that the data on the systems is analysed without any other agency attempting to work on it. Should another agency work on the RAID, then they may well damage the data, or write to the storage array, again, making the data inadmissible.

When you need data analysing, (computer forensics), use a reputable, professional organisation, such as Disklabs.

Computer Forensics is a fast growing area of specialist knowledge, as is the technology behind RAID systems. Knowledge of both is incredibly rare, however Disklabs has experience in all aspects, from File Structures, Disk Geometry, RAID system structures and the investigative knowledge of how to deal with data acquired.

Like standard computer forensics, it is critical that full evidentially sound procedures are found. Using computer forensics analysis is not worth the time if the correct procedures are executed. BIOS time is vital, as is the photographing of the exhibit. Ensuring continuity of the evidence is again critical – if there is a break in the ‘ownership’ of the data, then there is a good possibility that the evidence will not be allowed as it ‘could’ have been tampered with.
