About this file

This document is a workstation refresh specification for Audio/Video Forensic Workstations (updated 8-4-26) that details the minimum technical requirements for procuring forensic processing systems. The workstations will be used for audio, video, and graphics processing using commercial video processing programs and must support continuous 24/7 operation lasting months.

The specifications mandate new components only (no refurbished or recycled items) with an AMD Ryzen Threadripper processor (384 MB L3 cache, 96 cores, 192 threads, 2.5-5.1 GHz), Windows 11 Pro 64-bit OS, AMD WRX90 motherboard chipset, 512GB DDR 55600 MHz RAM (expandable to 2TB), and NVidia RTXPro 6000 graphics card with 96GB+ VRAM. Storage requirements include: 1TB SSD NVMe for OS (Drive 1), 2TB SSD NVMe for temp/swap (Drive 2), 8TB SSD for processing (Drive 3), and 48TB HDD RAID storage with 4x12TB HDD preferred for evidence/long-term storage (Drive 4). The system requires a multi-bay vertical tower chassis with six or more 5.25-inch drive bays, 1600W power supply, advanced case cooling for thermal management, Tableau T356789iu forensic bridge with write-blocking capabilities, dual Tableau T3iu write blockers, multiple USB ports (USB 2.0, USB 3.2 Gen 1, and USB Type-C), HDMI and Display Port outputs, gigabit network interface, Wi-Fi 6 E/7 triband connectivity, DVD/Blu-Ray optical drive, ASIO-compatible 7.1 audio, RAID controller, and 3-year warranty.
