Chapter 3 Configuring TD4

3.3.2 Drive adapters

For some of the TD4 ports, external adapters are required to connect certain types of
drives. Chapter 5 of this user guide contains a comprehensive list of available
Tableau drive adapters. Here is a summary of commonly used adapters:
Drive Type
PCIe add-in card SSD
m.2 PCIe SSD
Apple PCIe SSD 2013+
u.2 SSD (PCIe)
IDE
Apple PCIe SSD 2016+
FireWire
mSATA/m.2 SATA SSD

3.3.3 Drive tiles

On the left and right sides of the home screen you will find drive tiles that align with
the physical drive connection ports. These tiles will be grayed-out for any ports that
have no drive attached. When a drive is attached to a given port, that tile will
become active and can be tapped to access detailed information about that drive and
perform drive-specific actions.
Note: The drive tile for the rear USB accessory port will only appear when a
drive is connected to that port. It will appear beneath the System Navigation
Menu icon

3.3.4 Source drives

TD4 runs one forensic job at a time, and, as a result, it was designed to only allow
connecting one source drive at a time. Multiple source drives can physically be
connected to TD4 and doing so will not cause any damage to the device. However,
when more than one source drive is connected, the source drive tiles will turn red
and all operations that require a source drive (Duplication, Logical Image, Hash, and
Restore) will be prohibited. Verify is the one operation that can still be done with
multiple source drives attached, as it uses only destination drives.
Connect a drive (or a drive adapter with drive in place) to one of the TD4 source
(left) side interfaces: SATA/SAS, PCIe, USB. The associated user interface drive tile
will become active and can be tapped to view detailed information about the drive
and perform drive specific actions. For source drives, the available drive actions are
as follows:
