The correspondence discusses the transfer of large amounts of data to the 'Relativity' platform, specifically mentioning '5-6 iMacs and 5 laptop computers' from the New York residence and a 'DVR system' from the Island.

[REDACTED],
The FBI has a large amount of search warrant return files (primarily though not exclusively emails) that they need to transmit to us for loading to Relativity.
Could we please borrow a 1TB hard drive just for the purpose of transferring the data from them to us? We can get it back to you as quickly as the data is loaded through our folks.
thanks very much,
[REDACTED].

A 1TB should do it. There are a ton of emails, but they don't take up much space.

Okay thanks. We can circle back in a week or so on exactly what's being processed (in terms of number of devices and what they are), because we have no idea what it is.
More immediately, please let us know how big of a hard drive you need for later this week.

I've got everything here with me. Once I've cleared these load files, that stuff will all be processed. Already have our HQ working on the Island DVR system.

Thanks, and we do understand it's a heavy lift so we appreciate the help. Could you let us know the size of the materials so we can get an appropriate hard drive for you?
And separately, I'm not sure what the status is of the island materials – are those with you, or still being preliminarily checked for any CP images? Or somewhere else??
thanks again,

I am generating the load files for such stuff as we speak. Apologies for the delays, this is a long and complex process that I had to come up with a procedure for. I anticipate the files being ready by the Thursday COB. If you could forward a drive to me to copy the files onto, I would appreciate it.

Wanted to follow up on our phone conversation from about six weeks ago – I think we had anticipated that the electronic evidence that was being processed by CART from the New York residence search (which I believe was whittled down to approximately 5-6 iMacs and 5 laptop computers) would be completed for upload with load files for Relativity sometime in late October. We're concerned about timing particularly because I think that's just the tip of the iceberg – I don't think FBI has even started on the island materials, for example – so wanted to check on timing. Could you please let us know what the status is of those materials, and also what the materials are from the island that need to be processed, and whether there's an estimated time of completion for those as well?
thanks very much,
