Abstract
As outlined in Volume 1(ISBN 978-981-10-7762-3), the significant growth in the size of storage media, combined with the increasing popularity of digital devices, accompanied with a decrease in prices of devices and storage media, has contributed to a major issue affecting the timely process of justice. The ever growing volume of data seized for analysis has been raised as a major issue since 1999 (McKemmish 1999). Lengthy backlogs of work has been one result of this (Justice and UDo 2016; Parsonage 2009) which the growing size of devices contributes (Garfinkel 2010), often now consisting of many terabytes of data for each investigation.
