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 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (Darwin)
