Phantym-C DFIR Workstation
The Phantym-C is a purpose-built digital forensic workstation designed for examiners who need dependable performance, fast storage, and practical expandability in a single-processor platform. Built for forensic workflows, it balances processing speed, storage throughput, and system stability for day-to-day casework.
With an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processor, 64GB of DDR5 memory, and an all-solid-state storage layout, the Phantym-C is well suited for evidence review, artifact parsing, indexing, timeline analysis, and other demanding DFIR tasks. The configuration is intended to support responsive operation when working with modern forensic software and large case datasets.
Why this configuration works for forensic analysis
- High-performance CPU architecture for multi-threaded forensic tools and concurrent analysis tasks
- 64GB DDR5 memory to support larger datasets, virtualized workflows, and memory-intensive applications
- NVMe-based storage for fast case loading, processing, and working file access
- OpenText T3iu support with upgrade path to the OpenText T356789iu for write-protected acquisition workflows
- Single-workstation design that keeps the system focused on examiner productivity and reliability
Built for practical DFIR use cases
The Phantym-C is a strong fit for labs and investigators who need a workstation for evidence triage, disk imaging, artifact review, malware-adjacent analysis, and general case processing. Its storage layout and external bay configuration are designed to help streamline common forensic tasks while keeping the system organized and serviceable.
For teams standardizing on a reliable exam workstation, the Phantym-C provides a clear foundation for repeatable workflows. It is also a practical choice for organizations that want a system ready for forensic software, external acquisition hardware, and everyday case management without unnecessary complexity.
Reliability and support focus
Forensic work depends on consistency. The Phantym-C is positioned as a workstation built around that expectation, with attention to compatibility, burn-in testing, and a configuration intended to reduce avoidable downtime. That makes it easier to stay focused on evidence handling and reporting instead of troubleshooting hardware.
Customization options are available for teams with specific storage, interface, or workflow requirements. If you need a workstation tailored to a particular lab environment, the Phantym-C platform provides a flexible starting point.
