UltraBlock IDE-SATA Write Blocker
The UltraBlock IDE-SATA is a FireWire/USB to Parallel IDE / SATA Bridge Board
with Forensic Write Protection. The UltraBlock IDE-SATA can be connected
to your laptop or desktop using the FireWire-A (400 Mb/s), the FireWire-B (800 Mb/s), or the USB 1.X/2.0 interface. The UltraBlock IDE-SATA is provided with write protection enabled by default. By connecting
a suspect drive to the UltraBlock IDE-SATA, you can be certain that
no writes, modifications, or alterations can occur to the attached
drive.
If desired, the user can configure the device for either Read-Only or Read-Write operation through the use of internal dip switches. (An LED is provided on the case to confirm when the unit is configured in Read-Only Mode).

Versatile Operation
In Write Protect mode, the UltraBlock will prevent ANY and ALL writes from reaching the attached device. It is compatible with all Windows 98se, Windows ME, Windows 2K/XP, and any O/S that supports IEEE 1394 and has a compliant card and drivers.
In Read/Write mode (non-Write Protected), it can be used to attach a drive to be used for receiving images on your FireWire chain.
The UltraBlock is shipped by default in a Read-Only (write blocking) configuration. However, it can be configured to enable Read-Write operation as well. To prevent unwanted alteration it necessary for the customer to make a modification to the housing to enable the Read-Write operation.
