The Forensic Cloning Software also provides the ability to capture from Apple MAC computers using a PC interface. This software allows you to perform a native (Mirror) capture, capture DD images, compute an MD5 Hash on the entire source or destination drive or on each individual DD image. Expected capture speeds are up to 1.4GB/min with verify and up to 1.8GB/min without verify. Speeds will vary depending on the USB and FireWire hardware and the processor speed of the PC.
