Voyager Billed as World's First aeoeQuad Interfaceae SATA Hard Drive Docking Station [Storage](3)
NewerTech's Voyager is being billed as the worldae(tm)s first aeoeQuad Interfaceae SATA I/II Hard Drive Docking Station with support for FireWire 800/400, USB 2.0, and eSATA for 2.5" or 3.5" drives up to 2TB.
Basically, that means you can enjoy plug-and-play access to match your level of performance. It is also completely hot-swappable, so users can change drives while their computer is already running. At $100, it seems like a pretty decent buy—but if you can do without Firewire, a USB + eSATA Brando HDD dock with 4 card reader ports can be had for $79.

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 todayae(tm)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.
