Abstract

Systems and methods for preserving digital evidence using a self-protecting storage device are provided, by copying digital evidence from a source drive to a self-protecting storage device, writing and storing metadata relating to the copying such as date, time, and those present, and engaging the self-protecting features of the storage device such that the copied digital evidence cannot be altered.
