Testing Acquisition Hardware Part 2
A few people liked what I wrote the other day so I’m coming back with a couple more tests that I’ve run today. I have acquired the same drive as with the software tools but this time I have done it with the Tableau TD1 and the ImageMaster Solo III. The hard drive is a…

Testing Acquisition Software Part 1
At work we’re going for the ISO 17025 certification. As part of this I have been verifying and testing tools for a few weeks.
