What Logicube does

Logicube, Inc. is a privately held Chatsworth, California–based manufacturer of hardware-based hard drive duplication and digital forensic imaging appliances, founded in 1993 by President and CEO Farid Emrani. The company builds standalone field and lab devices — led by the Falcon-NEO2 forensic imager (the first field imager to exceed 100 GB/min E01 imaging speeds) and complemented by the Talon Ultimate mid-tier imager, the WriteProtect hardware write-blocker family, the SuperSonix-NG and ZXI-10G duplicators, the ZX-Wiper high-speed NVMe sanitizer, and legacy SCSI/echo products. Core technology centers on proprietary Concurrent Image+Verify processing, multi-tasking macros (up to five simultaneous tasks across nine destinations), hardware write-protected source acquisition, and modular I/O card slots designed to accommodate emerging interfaces such as Thunderbolt 3 and PCIe/NVMe.

The business model is anchored on hardware appliance sales — quote-based, multi-year enterprise contracts in the US/Canada via direct field sales and international sales through authorized distributors such as Avatu Ltd. in the UK. Beginning in February 2020, Logicube layered annual renewable software subscriptions (Mobile Device Capture for iOS/Android and Cloud Storage Acquisition for Google Drive/Dropbox) onto the Falcon platform, introducing the first recurring revenue stream. Optional hardware modules (Thunderbolt, FireWire, SCSI, Fibre Channel, PCIe adapter kits) and a one-year limited warranty with RMA-based service complete the monetization model.

Logicube's customer base spans U.S. and international law enforcement, military, federal/state/local government agencies, corporate security and eDiscovery teams, private investigative and consulting firms, and corporate/medical/educational IT departments. Differentiation rests on independently validated imaging speeds of 50–90 GB/min (60% faster than the prior generation and 50% faster than competitors), Project VIC/VICS compliance, and conformance to DoD 5220-M and NIST 800-88 sanitization standards. The company is founder/management-owned with no recorded institutional funding or acquisitions and is led by CEO Farid Emrani alongside Director of National Sales Todd Bellows (with the company since 1999).

Partnerships

Three partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• Kindred TechcoreTechnology or Integration · 14 May 2025Kindred Tech, the organization responsible for maintaining and curating the VICS (Video, Image, Classification Schema) data model, validated Logicube's Falcon-NEO2 forensic imager as VICS data compliant. This validation ensures the tool integrates properly with the VICS data classification schema used by law enforcement for child exploitation investigations. Falcon-NEO2 can ingest and process VICS hash sets efficiently for streamlined triage.
• Avatu Ltd.coreChannel Partner/ Reseller/ Distributor · 16 December 2022Logicube partnered with Avatu Ltd. as its new authorized resellers in the United Kingdom, representing Logicube's premier lines of forensic imaging solutions and hard drive duplication products. Avatu (formerly Data Duplication) is the UK's leading independent provider of digital forensic tools with over 25 years of experience. This replaced TAP Systems which had represented Logicube in the UK for nearly 20 years.
• TAP Systems (Previous UK Reseller)minorChannel Partner/ Reseller/ Distributor · 1 January 2003TAP Systems served as Logicube's authorized reseller in the UK market for nearly two decades, building a well-established and loyal customer base before being replaced by Avatu Ltd. in December 2022. Andy Piper was the visionary leader of TAP Systems.

Direct peers

• Tableau (OpenText): Tableau (now part of OpenText) is the most direct competitor to Logicube, offering the TKU (Tableau Forensic USB Bridge) and T8u/T9 Forensic Imagers widely deployed across law enforcement and government forensics labs for hardware write-blocked acquisition.
• CRU (WiebeTech): CRU's WiebeTech product line competes directly with Logicube in forensic write-blockers and drive duplicators (e.g., Forensic ComboDock, ToughDock), serving similar law enforcement, military, and corporate IT customers.
• ICS (Intelligent Computer Solutions): ICS offers the Echo and RoadMASSERIES forensic imagers with multi-interface support and high-speed imaging, directly comparable to Logicube's Falcon-NEO2 and Talon Ultimate product lines for government and law enforcement.
• Atola Technology: Atola manufactures the Atola TaskForce and Insight forensic imagers, which compete with Logicube on throughput (GB/min), multi-tasking, and write-blocked acquisition for digital forensic investigators worldwide.
• Digital Intelligence: Digital Intelligence provides forensic imaging workstations, write-blockers (UltraKit), and drive duplicators to law enforcement and government customers, overlapping with Logicube's Falcon-NEO2 and WriteProtect product families.

Emerging players

• DeepSpar: DeepSpar specializes in hard drive repair and data recovery hardware (e.g., DeepSpar Disk Imager), serving a subset of forensic and eDiscovery use cases that overlap with Logicube's drive duplication capabilities.

Broad incumbents

• MSAB (Micro Systemation): MSAB is a leading mobile forensics vendor (XRY, XAMN) that overlaps with Logicube's Mobile Device Capture subscription for iOS/Android acquisition, addressing the same law enforcement customer base with software-led mobile extraction.
• Magnet Forensics: Magnet Forensics (now part of Grayshift) offers AXIOM and GrayKey for mobile and computer forensics, competing with Logicube at the workflow level and reducing demand for purely hardware-based imaging as integrated platforms become standard.
• OpenText (EnCase): OpenText's EnCase is the dominant forensic analysis software, bundled with hardware acquisition partners (including Tableau). It is an indirect competitive threat to Logicube as investigators increasingly use software-led acquisition.

Others

• Avatu Ltd. Avatu is Logicube's UK distributor, but also independently distributes competing forensic hardware brands (Tableau, CRU/WiebeTech), making it both a channel partner and a potential peer for the same law enforcement buyer segment.
