  Digital forensics is basically the process of collecting and analysing data from different digital devices for the purpose of obtaining evidence. It plays a very crucial role while establishing facts during an investigation. One of the biggest challenges faced by digital investigators these days is SSDs.  SSD stands for Solid-State Drives and it is one of the alternatives to the traditional hard disk drives. As we all are seeing that these SSDs are becoming popular day by day and they are predominantly being used as storage devices. Now, these drives use flash memory to store data and today most digital devices like laptops and phones use SSDs. The mechanism and architecture of the solid-state drives are very different from that of traditional hard drives. The architecture of the hard drive involved platters that are coated with a layer of magnetic material. It also consists of reading and writing heads which are used to access the data stored in the hard drive. The solid-s...

With the rising cyber-crimes across the globe, digital forensics and digital evidence have become the need of great importance. Any place you go, you leave footprints is a well-founded fact in the world of cyberspace commonly known as ‘digital footprints' as timestamps, metadata and so forth which is very important to serve the principle of natural justice. We use digital evidence such as CCTV footage or any online transaction history detail, etc. all these are highly valuable in a criminal investigation and can at as a piece of deciding evidence in the court of law.
