A FRED (Forensic Recovery of Evidence Device) is used to collect and analyze data from a network - it's essentially a write blocker designed for an entire network rather than an individual PC. FREDs are manufactured by a company called Digital Intelligence. They can be used to image multiple drives simultaneously. They include a file craver module to locate fragments in file slack.
