• Device interfaces: SATA, IDE, USB, and PCIe via included adapters
• Included PCIe adapters: TDA7-1 (card), TDA7-2 (M.2 SSD), TDA7-3 (U.2 SSD), TDA7-4 (Apple SSD)
• Additional adapters: TDA3-1 SATA to IDE, TDA5-1 SAS/SATA to IDE
• Maximum transfer rate: up to 20 GB/min (host and device dependent)
• Power supply: Tableau TP2 (5V DC, 4A) included
• LED indicators: power, host activity, device activity, write block status
• Forensic features: automatic HPA/DCO detection, bad sector handling, read-only access
• Firmware: field-upgradable via Tableau Firmware Update (TFU) utility
• Compliance: FCC, CE, RoHS

Why choose it

The T7u kit eliminates the need for multiple write blockers when dealing with diverse PCIe storage. Its rugged aluminum enclosure and soft-sided carrying case make it suitable for field deployments, while the included adapters cover the most common PCIe form factors encountered in modern devices. Hardware write blocking is enforced at the firmware level, providing a defensible chain of custody.

Ideal use cases

• Acquiring forensic images from NVMe M.2 drives in laptops and desktops
• Processing U.2 enterprise SSDs from servers
• Handling proprietary Apple SSDs from Mac systems
• On-site triage where portability and quick setup are critical

Good to know

The kit includes all necessary cables (USB 3.0 A-B, SATA, IDE, IDE power) and is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux host systems. The Tableau T7u is widely recognized in digital forensics for its reliability and ease of use, making this kit a solid investment for any lab or field unit.
