AFF™ - The Advanced Forensics Format (AFF)
is an open and extensible format for storing images of hard disks and other kinds of storage devices that are seized during the course of an investigation. AFF is designed to be an alternative to existing proprietary disk image formats that can easily be adopted by the makers of today’s forensic tools. AFF has two significant benefits over the popular EnCase format; it is more flexible because it allows more extensive metadata to be stored with an image; and it is more efficient, because AFF images consume less disk space than EnCase images of the same disk.
