The T8/T3458is/T34589is Forensic Bridges are currently designed to work with USB Mass Storage Class devices. This includes most USB “thumb drives,” many USB digital cameras, Apple iPods with USB interfaces, hard disks in external USB enclosures, etc. From a technical standpoint, the Tableau USB write blockers support USB devices which conform to USB Class 8 (Mass Storage), Subclass 2 (SFF8020I), SubClass 5 (SFF8070I), or Subclass 6 (SCSI). Additionally, the Tableau USB write blockers require that the USB device implements Protocol 50h (Bulk Only). NOTE: The Tableau T8 originally supported only Subclass 6 (SCSI). Support for Subclasses 2 (SFF8020I) and 5 (SFF8070I) were added as of Tableau Firmware Update v3.30. This firmware update corresponds to T8 firmware date codes of Oct 19 2005 and later.
