The Tableau Forensic SAS Bridge (T6u) is a portable write-blocker that enables forensic acquisition of SAS hard drives.
Note: The T6u does not come with any accessories (cables) or power supply when purchased as a stand-alone item, and therefore you will need your own cables and power supply to use the device. For this reason, we also offer a kit version of the T6u that does include the corresponding power supply and cables. See below for kit content details.
We also offer the T6u, other Tableau write-blocking devices, plus all related cables and accessories in our premium write-blocking kit for a more comprehensive option: EFS Premium Tableau Write Blocking Kit.
