[sleuthkit-users] Autopsy Performance

[MATT P. <mat...@ad...>]

What are the most important factors in maximizing performance for Autopsy?  File Ingest is taking longer than I would expect it to.  I’d like to know what factors I need to improve on my analyst station to best support the platform.  CPU seems to be barely used most of the time.  Memory doesn’t max out.  At this point it seems entirely a Disk IO bottle neck.  The disks in question though are pretty quick.  I’ve also been looking to use SSD’s as a work space with spinning disk as an archive.  A useful feature would be a kind of Checkout Checkin capability to make doing this safer.  Right now I use Robocop to preserve the necessaries when transferring to and from my working drive.
