We have also encountered some very significant problems in trying to review the more than 1 million documents we recently received: The data we've received has no way to put any emails and attachments together.

Ultimately what we really need is a spreadsheet of every device, whether it's been dumped (or partially dumped), and then identifying that same info — which device, and what materials from it — are being given to us with each data transfer. Otherwise I think organizationally and for review purposes it will be a total disaster for us.

• Difficulties in linking emails and attachments.
• Inability to match control numbers to native files.
• Lack of clarity on which devices the materials came from.
