OpenText Forensic TD4 Duplicator
The OpenText Forensic TD4 Duplicator is a standalone solution for forensic imaging, triage, acquisition, and media management. It supports multiple destination drive imaging, native PCIe, SAS, and USB-C connections, and simultaneous hashing for efficient workflows.
Compatible with existing OpenText Forensic drive adapters and backed by a 3-year manufacturer warranty.
The OpenText Forensic TD4 Duplicator is a standalone forensic imaging platform designed for dependable physical media acquisition, triage, and media management workflows. Built for DFIR teams that need repeatable results in the lab or field, the TD4 reduces reliance on a host computer while supporting practical, evidence-focused imaging tasks.
As the successor to the TD2u Duplicator, the TD4 emphasizes streamlined operation, broad connection support, and workflow features that help examiners move from source media to verified images with less friction. Native support for PCIe, SAS, and USB-C makes it well suited for mixed-media environments where compatibility, speed, and repeatability matter.
Why DFIR teams use the TD4 Duplicator
- Multiple destination drive imaging for efficient acquisition workflows
- PCIe drive hot swap support for faster media handling
- Partition and file-system awareness to improve source media handling
- Simultaneous hashing to support verification during imaging
- Native image collection for standalone acquisition tasks
- IT mode for workflows where hash calculations are not required
- Color LCD touchscreen and audible feedback for clear operator interaction
- Compatibility with existing OpenText Forensic drive adapters
Common use cases
- Field triage when a compact standalone duplicator is preferred
- Lab acquisition of SATA, SAS, USB-C, and PCIe-based evidence media
- Media management tasks that require repeatable imaging steps
- Workflow standardization for teams handling varied storage interfaces
What to consider before choosing a forensic duplicator
When evaluating a forensic duplicator, teams often compare interface support, destination flexibility, hashing workflow, and ease of operation. The TD4 is positioned for practical acquisition work where a standalone device, native connectivity, and straightforward controls are more important than a general-purpose workstation approach.
