Computer Forensics and Private Investigator Rates
Data Acquisition
The time required to for a computer forensics analyst to acquire stored information will vary depending upon the size, type and number of devices or media being analyzed. A CD might only take a few minutes, while large hard drives can take several hours.

During this time, we’ll discuss the scope and key facts of the investigation, which will help determine the next steps.
