Small, portable, and powerful is a great way to describe Digital Intelligence μFRED systems. Built to handle the processing needs of modern computer and mobile forensics software, μFRED is a viable, lower priced alternative to traditional forensic towers. μFRED systems now ship with a powerful 8-core Intel i9-11900K 3.5 GHz (5.3 GHz turbo) CPU with 16 MB cache.
With up to seven (7) storage devices, μFRED systems provide ample capacity for modern forensic software processing. Drives include two (2) internal M.2 NVMe slots, with one 500 GB drive reserved for the Windows 11 operating system. Fourteen different USB connections (with one port supporting Thunderbolt 4) provide expansion flexibility. Network data transfers are fast and efficient with an integrated gigabit Ethernet connection. Integrated WiFi and Bluetooth provide additional connectivity.
Scaled down in size but not processing power, μFRED’s offer the performance of a higher end system at an entry level system price. Don’t overpay for performance. If you need the quality and performance that come with FRED systems at a budget friendly price, the Digital Intelligence μFRED should be high on your list.
Need to change your work locations from time to time? Grab the handle on top of the μFRED case and go. The handle folds flush and out of the way once moved. This convenient feature ensures mobility when necessary while minimizing handling risk.
For acquisition, triage, and analysis work that doesn’t require multiple hot-swap, removeable drive trays, the μFRED fills the need. Space saving and efficient with power to spare, μFRED is the preferred compact forensic processing alternative.
All μFREDs include an UltraBay 4™ write blocker for imaging SATA, SAS, IDE, USB 3, FireWire, and PCIe suspect drives. An integrated, hot-swap USB 3.1 connected removable drive tray is available for the storage and process of case work and digital evidence. μFRED ships pre-installed with Tableau Imager (TIM) to maximize sustained forensic imaging rates through the UltraBay 4.
Recommending less is sometimes more. Optimizing system processor cores, RAM, and storage is something we take very seriously. We don’t want our customers to spend more than is necessary for great performance. We test all FRED configurations using industry leading software. This methodology produces systems optimized for excellent performance when conducting forensic examinations.
When you purchase from Digital Intelligence, you’re getting the best forensic products money can buy. But the value doesn’t stop there. You get lifetime technical support and access to a professional, dedicated support team. We measure our success not just by the number of systems we sell but also by the level of support we provide.
