About Us

The BitMindz Advantage

Our customers sometimes ask us on the phone or at a conference, “Why should I go with BitMindz” or “What makes you different from everyone else”? The answer is simple . . .Because We Care.

We care about the quality of the components we put in the system. We care about the overall product and the user’s experience. We care about customer service and technical support. Law Enforcement, Military, Government, and Corporate customers tasked with conducting forensic examinations have a hard enough job; we know we’ve done it before. The last thing any of our customers need to worry about is the quality and performance of their system. You should be able to depend on your system to function flawlessly, but if something needs attention, you should be able to get in touch with the manufacturer and get immediate support. It’s not only what we would want but what we expect.

Why do we care so much? We’ve done the job; we’ve conducted hundreds of forensic exams. We didn’t just go to a class, take tests, and get certifications to show we had a title. Sure, that means you understand the concept of computer forensic science, but it isn’t putting the work and knowledge to the test. It isn’t getting out there and doing the daily work that many officers and detectives conduct. We worked, fought through backlogs, made cases, testified in court, and prosecuted criminals. We know what it’s like to fight that battle. We care because we still consider ourselves part of the brotherhood of law enforcement. The willingness to care for and support people doesn’t leave when you retire from law enforcement. So we care because we know you need the support, and there are still victims who seek justice.

What are some other reasons we call it the BitMindz Advantage? Because we genuinely put the best components in the system. That goes down to high-quality screws, ty-raps, tie-down mounts, cables, accessories, fans, and other trivial items inside the RCKTBX system. We purchase only the best components because it gives you a better forensic workstation. Further, better components typically equate to fewer problems, less downtime, and fewer tech support calls. It makes for a much better user experience.

The "Rocket Box" RCKTBX Story

The RCKTBX started quite some time ago when our CEO & Founder, Manny Kressel, was employed at a law enforcement agency and tasked with conducting computer forensic exams.  The systems were slow and missing newer technologies like solid state disks, non-volatile memory drives, faster memory, faster PCIe slots, and a lot of the advancements we’ve seen in technology.  In order to make systems better and faster, Manny tested a variety of RAID controllers, new motherboards, and system designs to improve the speed of processing.  The goal was to always make the systems faster.

Fast forward to 2013 and he had the opportunity to introduce his knowledge to the forensic community.  He introduced what was, at the time, the fastest system on the market.  He continued to research and design new systems and test volumes along with software to ensure that each system was consistently faster than the previous design.

By 2018, he was able to launch a line of forensic workstations or what he deemed Processing Engines to the forensic community.  He was the first to introduce RAID NVMe drives, Solid State Disks in Rapid Mode to achieve unheard of read/write speeds.  He introduced the use of the AMD line of processors first and continued to test functionality on variety of builds to give the forensic community the speeds they deserved.

By 2023, the systems have evolved into the premiere system on the marketplace.  How can we say this and how do we know?  It’s simple, we have the numbers to back up the processing speeds.  We’ve continued to test the different software packages to fine tune the boxes.  We make it Rocket Science.  Speadsheets, screenshots, logs, and the numbers to show what full throttle looks like with a forensic workstation or Processing Engine.

We craft every system.  These are not mass manufactured boxes where they are churned out, boxed up, and shipped out.  They are meticulously designed, fine tuned, tested, and shipped with the utmost in care and concern for each agencies needs.  We are here to support your mission because we knows what it takes to support the mission.
