Woodstock, IL—May 20, 2014— Newer Technology Inc. (NewerTech®), a leading developer of Macintosh, PC, iPod, iPhone, and iPad performance upgrades and accessories announced a new 5TB + 5TB capacity for the
Guardian MAXimus line of dual-bay, high-performance external storage solutions.
High-Performance, Multiple Interfaces
The Guardian MAXimus, available in capacities up to 5TB + 5TB, adds tremendous storage capacity and throughput to any Mac or PC with USB 3.0, eSATA, FireWire 800, or FireWire 400. Mission critical applications such as financial records, accounting data, medical files, business projects, and Time Machine backups are enhanced with access to data at sustained data rates up to 238MB/s read, 245MB/s write.
No Downtime
