TaskForce 2026.10 is released!

According to the volume of improvements made by the Atola Technology team, this is a record-breaking firmware update. The most noticeable ones are:

▪️ Sector-by-sector comparison
Compare a drive or image file against another drive, another image, or a HEX/LBA pattern. Different and unreadable sectors are counted and logged.

▪️ Seagate FARM analysis
Diagnostics now cross-checks FARM data against SMART and drive identification information, highlighting discrepancies that may indicate tampering.

▪️ Custom wipe report templates
Create branded reports using HTML templates with dynamic fields for drive details, dates, results, and more.

▪️ Simpler batch workflows
Select all drives in Multi-launch Wiping and assign them to one case before starting.

▪️ Support for incomplete acquisitions
Access available data in partitions that extend beyond the reported device or image size.

TaskForce 2 also adds SCSI Sanitize for SAS SSDs.

Some conversations don't fit into a video call.
A handshake after a long talk. A demo with hardware you can actually touch. A coffee with someone you've only known as an email signature. Part of the Atola team got together in Canada for a team-building trip. Great people, the kind of talks you can't always have online, and stunning views at every turn. Atola has always been a company about people. Thank you Yulia Samoteykina, Hryhorii Tymoshenko, John Graham, Dmytro Postrigan and Sasha Benecka for making this adventure happen, and for every meaningful conversation along the way❤️
