Digital evidence is growing faster than most forensic laboratories can keep up with.
A decade ago, imaging a hard drive was relatively straightforward. Today, investigators face multi-terabyte SSDs, encrypted systems, cloud repositories, smartphones, network storage, and increasingly shorter investigation timelines.
The challenge is no longer simply acquiring evidence. The challenge is acquiring it quickly, accurately, and efficiently.
That is why many forensic laboratories continue to rely on the Logicube Falcon-NEO2.
1. Faster Acquisitions Mean More Cases Completed
Every examiner has waited hours—or even days—for an image to complete.
The Falcon-NEO2 dramatically reduces that wait time. With imaging speeds reaching up to 115 GB per minute and PCIe cloning speeds exceeding 100 GB per minute, investigators can process modern SSDs and NVMe drives significantly faster than many traditional imaging methods.
For busy laboratories, faster acquisitions translate directly into increased case throughput and reduced evidence backlogs.
2. One Tool Instead of Four
Many acquisition workflows require separate tools for:
- Hard drives
- Cloud storage
- Mobile devices
- Network collections
The Falcon-NEO2 combines these capabilities into a single platform.
Investigators can acquire evidence from OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, Apple iOS devices, Android devices, and even capture network traffic without switching between multiple solutions.
Less equipment. Less training. Less complexity.
3. Connect to Almost Anything
One of the most frustrating parts of digital forensics is discovering that you don’t have the right adapter or interface.
The Falcon-NEO2 supports SAS, SATA, NVMe, PCIe, USB, Thunderbolt, FireWire, SCSI, and 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity.
Whether the evidence is cutting-edge or ten years old, there is a good chance the Falcon can connect to it.
4. Built for Modern Investigations
Encryption is now standard on many systems.
The Falcon-NEO2 can identify encrypted drives and supports BitLocker, OPAL, VeraCrypt, and TrueCrypt decryption when appropriate credentials are available.
It also supports Project VIC and VICS databases, helping investigators quickly identify known files and prioritize evidence review.
5. Collect Only What Matters
Not every investigation requires a full forensic image.
Sometimes investigators only need specific files, folders, or data related to a particular case.
The Falcon-NEO2 supports targeted and logical acquisitions using file filters, signatures, and keyword searches, helping examiners reduce acquisition times and focus on relevant evidence.
The Bottom Line
The Logicube Falcon-NEO2 is more than a forensic duplicator. It is a complete evidence acquisition platform designed for today’s investigations.
Whether your team is processing large SSDs, collecting cloud evidence, acquiring mobile devices, or conducting rapid triage in the field, the Falcon-NEO2 helps investigators work faster, collect more relevant evidence, and reduce the time between collection and analysis.
For agencies looking to modernize their forensic collection capabilities, the Falcon-NEO2 remains one of the most capable and versatile acquisition platforms available today.
