SAFE Block - Version 1.0 SAFE Block is a software-based write blocker computer forensics tool for the Windows 2000/XP Operating Systems.

It has a simple Windows GUI interface that allows the user the ability to block and un-block any disk or flash storage device detected by Windows.

SAFE Block allows for write blocked, Windows-based, disk imaging speeds that are significantly faster than imaging in Windows using commercially available hardware-based write blockers.
