How does the T15 compare to the T3u?
The T15 FireWire800 SATA bridge is an ultra-compact forensic bridge for use with SATA hard disks. To make the T15 as small as possible, Tableau removed several features found in the T3u. Namely, the T15 lacks a USB host interface, power switch, dual power supply options, host detect, and drive detect LEDs. Even though the T15 has fewer features that the T3u SATA bridge, the T15 achieves imaging times comparable to the T3u and retains key T3u features such as the write block, activity, and power LEDs and configuration switches. Moreover, the T15 connects directly to the back of the SATA hard disk, eliminating the need for a SATA signal cable. And, if the SATA hard disk has a SATA-style 15-pin power connector, the T15 powers the hard disk directly, further eliminating the need for a power jumper cable.
