Comprehensive Diagnostic Process
With TaskForce 2, starting a diagnostic process is as simple as connecting the evidence drive and initiating a one-click automated test. Within minutes, TaskForce 2 generates an in-depth diagnostic report, offering actionable insights and recommendations.
The diagnostics process includes:
-
-
Motor and PCB Check
The system evaluates power-up currents to detect issues in the motor or PCB. Drives that are not recognized can still undergo diagnostics using identification sector analysis. -
Head Assessment
Each drive head is tested for damage or degradation. If an issue is found, TaskForce 2 can disable faulty heads to prioritize data extraction from functional areas. -
Media Surface Scans
The device performs targeted scans to identify bad sectors, assess readability, and estimate imaging times. -
Firmware and Partition Analysis
TaskForce 2 evaluates the drive's firmware for password locks, hidden areas (HPA/DCO/AMA), and defective sectors. It also reviews partitions and file systems to identify data structures, unallocated space, or inconsistencies.
