"If you want to go the cheapest route, use a linux system with auto mounting
disabled and buy some USB or Firewire drive enclosures. If you go this route
make sure you create a documented procedure for acquiring evidence and
follow it every time. You might even go as far as to record the history of
your shell commands as part of your digital case file."- warquel Re:

Hey all,
I wanted to find out if there was a method to convert an external  
hard drive enclosure into a "cheap" write blocker device?  I'm not  
looking for something to use from a forensic standpoint.  Basically  
if I want to put a hard drive into an enclosure and pull data/burn  
data to DVD/whatever off of it, but prevent anything from being  
written to the drive, I can do that.

Thanks ahead of time,
Tom
