4.1.1 Clone Source Disk
The Ditto Forensic FieldStation makes an exact duplicate of the source disk and can clone to a single or
mirrored destination disk.
While cloning the source disk, the Ditto Forensic FieldStation can also hash the source disk using the
MD5, SHA-1, or MD5 + SHA-1 algorithms. Select the hash type under the “System Settings” panel
on the “Home” screen. See Section 4.3. Hashing while using both MD5 + SHA-1 significantly reduces
performance.
