Newer Technology, Inc. (NewerTech; Woodstock, IL), a developer of PC, Macintosh, iPod, and iPhone accessories, announced NewerTech Voyager, said to be the world’s first Quad Interface SATA I/II Hard Drive (HD) Docking Station with support for four interfaces: FireWire 800/400, USB 2.0, and eSATA.
NewerTech Voyager turns any 2.5-in. or 3.5-in. Serial ATA (SATA) I/II hard drive up to 2.0TB into a fully bootable and hot-swappable external drive solution.
To use Voyager, insert any standard 2.5-in. or 3.5-in. SATA I/II hard drive (up to 2.0TB) into Voyager’s compact docking base and select the fastest of the four interfaces supported by your computer for read/write data speeds of up to 3.0Gbps. Voyager saves users the time and inconvenience of installing a hard drive into a computer or using an external hard drive enclosure with limited interfaces and slower speeds.
Voyager provides Plug and Play ease of use for a fast external hard drive solution that works with both Macs and PCs. Voyager is completely hot-swappable for consumers wanting to move multiple drives at will while their computer is on and running. Its design and drive eject button makes inserting, using, and removing SATA I/II hard drives a safe and effortless procedure.
Storage archives, professional photographers, videographers, and other hard drive storage archivers will no longer need multiple drive enclosures and power supplies for every archived hard drive.
NewerTech Voyager ($99.95 MSRP) offers Quad Interface for maximum system compatibility and data transfer rates (up to 3.0Gbps), pushbutton drive eject for safe hard drive removal, hot-swap functionality for fast access of multiple hard drives, weighted base and non skid rubber feet for stable operation, 2-Color Status LED (left side blue for power on, right side flashing red for disk activity), compact design, quiet operation, no cooling fan needed, and more.
