January 15, 2009 Woodstock, IL -- Newer Technology, Inc. (NewerTech®) http://www.newertech.com, the leading developer of PC, Macintosh®, iPod®, and iPhone® performance upgrades and accessories, announced today that its NewerTech Voyager Q Hard Drive Docking Solution won a “Best of Expo” award from Macitynet.it at the Macworld Conference & Expo 2009, held January 5-9, in San Francisco, CA.

The NewerTech Voyager Q was one of six Macintosh compatible products selected from more than 500 Macworld Conference and Expo 2009 global exhibitors honored by Macitynet.it, the most widely read Italian Mac, iPod, and iPhone products web site with more than 4.5 million page views and  900,000 unique monthly visitors.

 “We are thrilled and honored to be recognized at MacWorld for the Voyager Q,” said NewerTech President Larry O’Connor. “Bringing customers innovative, high quality products like Voyager backed by award-winning customer service is NewerTech’s mission.”

Boot and Swap Drives with Macs and PCs

The NewerTech Voyager Q is a Plug and Play easy to use external hard drive solution that works with both Macs and PCs. Simply insert a 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 the connected computer to boot and swap drives at will with data transfer speeds up to 300MB/s.  Because there isn’t anything to install or configure, Voyager saves users the time and inconvenience of installing a hard drive into a computer or an external hard drive enclosure which may have limited interfaces and slower speeds. 

Offers Convenient High Capacity Storage

Whether using the NewerTech Voyager Q with an older, swapped out drive or buying a new drive at today’s low storage prices, bare SATA I/II drives now can offer the same easy to use convenience as a flash memory card, but with much higher storage capacity.  Plus with its custom, stylish design, weighted base and drive eject lever, the NewerTech Voyager Q makes inserting, using, and removing SATA I/II hard drives a safe and effortless procedure.

 

The NewerTech Voyager Q is priced at $99.95 MSRP and is available immediately from NewerTech’s exclusive distributor, Other World Computing (OWC®), at www.macsales.com, as well as through the retail channel.  The Voyager Q includes all supported interface connector cables, an auto-switching power supply for worldwide compatibility, and a one year warranty.
