UltraBlock FireWire Bundle for Ultra Kits
The UltraBlock FireWire Bundle is an optional kit that adds FireWire and Mac target mode forensic imaging capability to Digital Intelligence Ultra Kits. Designed as an (optional) add on to the UltraKit v5, UltraKit v5 + TD2u, and UltraKit v5 + TX1, this bundle is also compatible with previous generation Ultra Kits.
The UltraBlock Firewire Forensic FireWire Bridge is the Forensic Industry’s first portable FireWire write-blocker. The UltraBlock Firewire features FireWire 800/400 and USB host connections, an integrated LCD, and six LEDs for visual status. Intelligent and efficient to use, this write-blocker deserves a place in your forensic toolkit.
The UltraBlock Firewire solves the growing challenge of imaging FireWire hard drives and Apple Macintosh® computer systems in a forensically sound manner. Built with similar operational features as our popular UltraBlock USB bridge, the UltraBlock Firewire enables reliable and efficient data acquisition in both field and lab environments.

Acquire Data from Firewire Storage and Apple Macintosh Computers
Imaging
FireWire storage devices, including Apple Macintosh® computers, has
always presented a special challenge to forensic examiners. The
UltraBlock Firewire supports full multi-LUN (Logical Unit Number)
write-blocked acquisitions of FireWire storage devices (including
Macintosh computers booted in target disk mode). The UltraBlock Firewire
identifies multiple LUNs present and prompts the user to select the
appropriate LUN for imaging. The ability to image without the need to
remove hard drives means you will work faster, more effectively, and
with less risk of damage to evidence.
Integrated LCD Operational Display
The
UltraBlock Firewire LCD functions as the information center for storage
device and write-blocker information. Using the two convenient operator
buttons, the user progresses through a variety of menu displays to view
vital information. The monochrome LCD features 2 rows of 16 characters
that are used to display status information, detailed technical
information obtained from the attached FireWire device, as well as key
information about the UltraBlock Firewire bridge itself.
Notes:
- UltraBlock Firewire performance is heavily dependent on block size and works best when used with an imaging application which can be configured for 128 kByte blocks.
- The UltraBlock Power Supply may only be used to power one UltraBlock and one Hard Drive. Do not attempt to use a single external power supply to power more than one UltraBlock and Hard Drive.
- Additional FireWire-A (400), FireWire-B (800), and USB Cables are available from Digital Intelligence.
