Newer Technology, Inc. announced today that it has expanded its hard drive accessory line with the introduction of the new Media Storage Tray for use with the NewerTech StoraDrive™. The Media Storage Tray transforms one of the stackable anti-static StoraDrive cases into a compartmentalized, padded, all-in-one storage solution for protecting and organizing multiple digital media formats.
Holds Up To Thirteen Pieces of Digital Media In Multiple Formats:
Each NewerTech Media Storage Tray can hold:
- One 2.5″ PATA/SATA Hard Drive or Solid State Drive
- Up to two Compact Flash cards
- Up to two Sony Memory Sticks
- Up to four SmartMedia cards
- Up to four SD (Secure Digital), SDHC (Secure Digital High-Capacity), or SDXC (Secure Digital eXtended-Capacity) cards
Protect and Organize Vital Stored Data in Custom-fitted, Easy Access Compartments
The NewerTech Media Storage Tray expands the functionality of the NewerTech StoraDrive by adding secure, organized storage compartments to hold the most commonly used digital media devices. Made of ESD foam rubber and weighing a mere 0.8oz., the Media Storage Tray provides fingertip access to five different media formats in a single, space saving desktop location.
“The Media Storage Tray is an effective solution to expand the usefulness of a StoraDrive,” said Grant Dahlke, Brand Manager, NewerTech. “Now, one StoraDrive case can be utilized to hold a full sized 3.5″ drive and the other case can be fitted with this tray to store and organize the five most popular types of flash memory storage formats.”
Enhances Functionality of NewerTech StoraDrive Interlocking Two-Pack Case Solution
The Media Storage Tray insert is the perfect enhancement for the NewerTech StoraDrive stackable anti-static cases. Economical yet highly functional, StoraDrive is a superior value to basic, single unit competing options on the market. A smooth sliding drawer action provides easy access without disrupting other interlocked cases, and each drive drawer includes a convenient label area for easy content identification. The stackable, interlocking design enables more StoraDrive cases to be added as storage needs grow. Made of anti-static injection molded ABS plastic, the StoraDrive features non-skid rubber feet to keep both case and contents securely positioned.
StoraDrive and Media Storage Tray System Ideal for Users Who Hot Swap & Archive Drives
With today’s low cost of hard drive storage and Plug and Play hot swap drive access products like NewerTech’s USB 2.0 Universal Drive Adapter or the Voyager Drive Dock, a greater number of computer users are incorporating the ease and convenience of accessing multiple drives into their workflow. Now, with the StoraDrive and Media Storage Tray system, photographers, videographers, and other multiple drive users and storage archivers have a safe, convenient, and organized way to store and access multiple media storage formats.
I would have considered buying one if it allowed me to access them via usb or something. Static is never really an issue, I’ve never heard of static killing a device, I know it could, but never seen it yet, and I’m around computers and electronics all day.
Nice!
That’s the ultimate tool box for photoraphers- esp on set. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything so specifically geared towards carrying EXACTLY a drive and a few SD cards.
Very cool.

I have about a dozen various desktop memory pieces and even more laptop memory pieces on standby for friends with component emergencies. :-)
(I didn’t go anywhere. I just have nothing to contribute on all the SSD posts.) ;-)
I could use more than a few of these. :-)
It would be nice if you could offer different options for the foam trays for the 2.5″ version.
For example I have ONE data card that never leaves the camera, but I have a LOT of computer memory that could use anti static storage along with the drives. :-)
Hey…you’re back! We were getting nervous thinking something happened to you!
You would swap out memory modules and store them in this tray?
