µFRED: The Smallest, Full-Powered, Forensic Workstation
 The µFRED system has much of the processing power of a full size FRED system but in a package only a fraction of the size (9in x 8in x 13in). µFRED systems utilize an ultra-compact i5 motherboard and include a full 8 GB of DDR3-1333 memory. This system includes the very best features of the standard FRED system but in a much smaller package. All uFRED systems include the UltraBay and a removable drive tray so there is no need to open up the processing system to install drives or crawl around the back of the unit to attach devices. This compact package provides processing and acquisition capabilities far in excess of any laptop or generic “shoebox” computer system!
The UltraBay+ - Integrated IDE, SATA, SCSI and USB Write Blockers
The Digital Intelligence UltraBay+ is included in the uFRED and can be used to acquire a forensically sound image of IDE, SATA, SCSI and USB drives using your choice of Forensic Imaging software. Your drives may be connected and removed from the UltraBay+ without having to shut down the workstation. The UltraBay+ is available on Digital Intelligence uFRED and FREDDIE systems.
Hot-Swap Removable Evidence Drive
The uFRED includes one internal hard drive to support the Operating Systems and Application Software. It also includes a second hard drive in a shock-mounted Hot Swap bay to be used for the storage and processing of case work and digital evidence. The evidence drive in the Hot Swap bay can be inserted, removed, or replaced without powering down the system. An external high-speed FireWire 800 (1394b) port is also available for the connection of additional equipment such as the UltraBlock USB write blocker. The uFRED comes pre-installed with a Dual-Boot Operating System (Win98 DOS, and Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit) on the Primary Drive. Additionally, a fully-loaded, pre-configured Suse Linux installation image is also included on DVD for installation if desired.
Network Functionality Built In
The uFRED systems have an integrated Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000 Mb) for network connectivity. This can be used for connection to laboratory forensic network such as our FREDC or also for connection in the field to a suspect or target network for data acquisition.
