Atola TaskForce 2

When tackling demanding data recovery, forensic imaging, or large-scale sanitization tasks, the Atola TaskForce 2 is the definitive solution. Engineered for maximum throughput and efficiency, it empowers IT professionals and forensic experts to handle vast amounts of data with unmatched speed, precision, and reliability.

Why Choose TaskForce 2 for High-Volume Data Acquisition, Wiping, Imaging, and Diagnostics?

Understanding the condition of evidence drives is paramount. TaskForce 2 offers state-of-the-art diagnostics, parallel imaging, and high-speed sanitization—enabling professionals to evaluate, clone, and erase drives efficiently, even when working with severely compromised media.

Unmatched Performance and Capacity

• Exceptional Speed: Achieve breakthrough imaging and wiping performance, including NVMe operations up to 6000 MB/s.
  
  
• 26-Port Parallel Operation: Handle up to 26 drives simultaneously across various interfaces: SATA, SAS, NVMe (M.2 PCIe & U.2), USB HDDs/SSDs, IDE, and Flash media (SD, CompactFlash), including Apple PCIe SSDs (MacBook 2013–2015).
  
  
• Powerful Internals: Built on a robust Xeon 16-core CPU and 16 GB ECC RAM to maintain high-speed parallel tasks across all drives.
  
  
• High-Speed Network Connectivity: Two 10Gb Ethernet ports enable efficient data transfers and remote control over LAN or WiFi (with optional setup).
  
  

Comprehensive Data Wiping and Sanitization

TaskForce 2 sets a new standard in secure data destruction:

• 26-Drive Parallel Wiping: Securely erase up to 26 drives simultaneously with unmatched speed and precision—perfect for bulk media sanitization.
  
  
• Certified Sanitization Standards: Complies with NIST 800-88, DoD 5220.22-M, and other international standards, ensuring complete data erasure that meets regulatory requirements.
  
  
• Custom Overwriting Algorithms: Choose from preloaded wiping protocols or define your own to align with specific organizational policies or client mandates.
  
  

Advanced Diagnostic & Imaging Capabilities

Atola TaskForce 2 excels in evaluating drive health before any data handling begins:

• Real-Time SMART Health Monitoring: Monitors drive status, flags unreadable sectors, and estimates imaging times based on actual surface health.
  
  
• Comprehensive Surface Testing: Includes full surface scans, integrity checks, and detection of latent or hidden hardware faults.
  
  
• Automated Report Generation: Every diagnostic session produces detailed reports with actionable insights, ideal for audit and compliance documentation.
  
  
• Parallel Imaging & Cloning: Image multiple drives simultaneously while maintaining speed and data integrity—ideal for forensic workflows and lab scalability.
  
  

In-Depth Automated Diagnostic Process

• Motor and PCB Analysis: Detects power-up current issues in motor or circuit board. Non-responsive drives can still be assessed using identification sector scans.
  
  
• Head Condition Testing: Evaluates read/write head degradation or failure; disables faulty heads to prioritize successful extraction from operational zones.
  
  
• Media Surface Scanning: Performs precision scanning of media to locate bad sectors, gauge readability, and assess imaging feasibility.
  
  
• Firmware & Partition Analysis: Inspects drive firmware for password locks, HPA/DCO/AMA hidden areas, and analyzes partitions and file systems for inconsistencies or unallocated space.
  
  

Key Features for Efficiency and Workflow Automation

• Parallel Multi-Tasking: Simultaneously perform diagnostics, wiping, and cloning across multiple drives without any loss of performance.
  
  
• Intuitive Touchscreen Interface & Remote Access: A user-friendly UI supports fast local control via touchscreen and full remote operation via web browser across the network.
  
  
• Workflow Customization: Save and reuse imaging or wiping presets to automate repetitive tasks and standardize processes across teams.
  
  
• Detailed Logs and Audit Trails: Automatically export comprehensive operation logs and erasure reports, supporting compliance, internal reviews, and chain-of-custody tracking.
  
  

Built for Reliability and Peace of Mind

• Lifetime Hardware Warranty: Included with active subscription, reflecting Atola’s confidence in its build quality and minimizing long-term ownership costs.
  
  
• Hardware Protections: Each drive port includes automatic overcurrent and short-circuit protection, safeguarding both the unit and your media.
