WiebeTech® USB 3.0 WriteBlocker™

Unparalleled performance, ultra-lightweight design

CRU® is pleased to introduce the WiebeTech USB 3.0 WriteBlocker, an essential tool for any digitial investigation or eDiscovery team. The USB 3.0 WriteBlocker has attained the fastest data capture speeds of any write blocker available today with a benchmarked read rate of 400 MB/s. The device can write block two drives simultaneously – at full speed – and is ultra-lightweight and small, easily fitting in the palm of your hand.

In conjunction with the USB 3.0 WriteBlocker, CRU will release the WiebeTech WriteBlocking Validation Utility, a free Windows application designed to test the functionality of any write blocker – software- or hardware-based – available on the market. Our new application is based on NIST's write blocking standards but with the familiar Windows interface for easy integration into your investigation or eDiscovery team.

You can watch a recording of our webinar "WriteBlocking: A Whole New Game," presented by James Wiebe, for further details on the USB 3.0 WriteBlocker and the WriteBlocking Validation Utility.

Using write blockers in digital investigation and eDiscovery

The USB 3.0 WriteBlocker, along with our other write blocking offerings such as the Forensic UltraDock and Forensic ComboDock, are essential for gathering forensically sound evidence, which is as important to law enforcement investigations as it should be to professionals in corporate human resources, IT, and security during eDiscovery or investigating hacks or cyberattacks.
