Physical Storage
- Hard Disk Drives (HDDs): Reliable in operation, hard disk drives are common across desktops, laptops, servers, photocopiers and numerous other devices clients have in their environment. With the ability to capture HDDs in a secure and defensible manner, Sky Discovery ensures that every single bit of data is collected and stored in a tamper-evident format.
- Solid State Drives (SSDs): With advances in technology and the increasing popularity of SSDs in both the home and enterprise environments, Sky Discovery has developed methods to ensure that all available data on SSDs is collected and preserved. As more organisations move towards SSDs for business critical applications, it is key to have a team that understands the challenges SSDs pose.
- USB Flash Drives and Flash Storage: Small and ubiquitous, USB and flash storage can contain huge amounts of digital data. Easily plugged into any computer which can cause issues with data integrity, Sky Discovery ensures that every device collected is write-blocked, preventing any changes to the data within.
Mobile Devices

Every collection and preservation comes with an acquisition report, to provide clients peace of mind that all collectable data is securely preserved.
