NEWERTECH ANNOUNCES VOYAGER – WORLD’S FIRST “QUAD INTERFACE” SATA HARD DRIVE DOCKING STATION
 
Turns Any 2.5" or 3.5" SATA I/II Hard Drive up to 2.0TB into an External Drive
Mac & PC Plug and Play Ready - Boot and Swap Drives

December 2, 2008, Woodstock, IL -- Newer Technology, Inc. (NewerTech®) http://www.newertech.com, the leading developer of PC, Macintosh®, iPod®, and iPhone® performance upgrades and accessories, today announced NewerTech Voyager, the world’s first “Quad Interface” SATA I/II Hard Drive Docking Station with support for four interfaces:  FireWire® 800/400, USB 2.0, and eSATA.  NewerTech Voyager turns any 2.5" or 3.5" Serial ATA (SATA) I/II hard drive up to 2.0TB into a fully bootable and hot-swappable external drive solution. 

Easy & Convenient To Use 

Using Voyager is so simple:  just insert any standard 2.5" or 3.5" 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 3.0Gb/s.  There’s nothing else to install or configure.  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. 

Plug and Play Hot-Swap Ready 

With the most interfaces available on the market, Voyager provides Plug and Play ease of use for a fast external hard drive solution that works with both Macs and PCs.  In fact, Voyager is so easy to use, that combined with today’s low cost of hard drive storage, users can think of a bare SATA I/II drive as being as convenient to use as a flash memory card, with the same instant access benefits and the addition of huge storage capacity gains.  In addition, Voyager is completely hot-swappable for consumers wanting to move multiple drives at will while their computer is on and running.  Its unique design and drive eject button makes inserting, using, and removing SATA I/II hard drives a safe and effortless procedure.   

Ideal Solution for Storage Archives 

The ideal solution for 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.  “Whether consumers want to re-task an older swapped-out hard drive, need to access multiple drives, or want to add big capacity, low cost external storage capacity to their desktop, Voyager is able to travel any computer user’s data universe needs with ease,” said Grant Dahlke, NewerTech’s Product Manager. “Its design and ‘Quad Interface’ functionality offer high speed ‘slide and swap’ hard drive read/write performance and convenience never before available.”
