Line 1: [[File:Disk image tools.jpg\|thumb\|220px\|right\|Example of a portable disk imaging device]] A '''forensic disk controller''' or '''hardware write-block device''' is a specialized type of computer [[hard disk controller]] made for the purpose of gaining read-only access to computer [[hard drive]]s without the risk of damaging the drive's contents. The device is named [[forensics\|forensic]] because its most common application is for use in investigations where a computer hard drive may contain evidence. Such a controller historically has been made in the form of a [[dongle]] that fits between a computer and an [[Integrated Drive Electronics\|IDE]] or [[SCSI]] hard drive, but with the advent of [[Universal Serial Bus\|USB]] and [[Serial ATA\|SATA]], forensic disk controllers supporting these newer technologies have become widespread.
