Creating a forensic disk image ensures that the original evidence is preserved and any analysis is performed on an exact copy. This helps maintain the integrity of the data and allows the original disk to remain unaltered. Hashing both the original and the image to make sure they match is part of this process, providing proof that the image is an identical copy.
