6.3 SMB
The Falcon-NEO can be accessed from a computer (through a direct network cable connection or through
a network). One of the ways to access Source or Destination drives over the network is to use the SMB
protocol. When using this method, all viewable/compatible partitions will be viewable on the computer.
This method will give a logical access to the contents of the drive.
See Section 10.1 for details on how to view Source or Destination drives over the network using SMB.
Some advantages of using this method are:
The contents of the drive are searchable using the Operating System’s search functions.
Third party analysis tools and software can be used with the logical partition.
6.4 iSCSI
Another way to access Source drives from a computer (through a direct network cable connection or
through a network) is through the iSCSI protocol. This method allows both physical and logical access to
the drives but may require additional software installed and configured on the computer. To use the iSCSI
protocol, an iSCSI initiator must be installed and configured to view the contents of drives connected to
the Falcon-NEO over a network.
Like using SMB, some advantages of using this method are:
The contents of the drive are searchable using the Operating System’s search functions.
Third party analysis tools and software can be used with the logical partition.
