Boot and Swap drives at will!

Whether you're on a data recovery mission or just want to check the contents of an older swapped out hard drive, NewerTech Voyager is the easiest, most convenient way to access data from any Serial ATA (SATA) hard drive.
Just insert any standard 2.5" or 3.5" SATA I/II hard drive with up to 2.0TB capacity into the compact docking base and select one of the four interfaces supported by your Mac® or PC for the fastest data transfer performance. Then, start reading and/or writing data to the docked hard drive. There's nothing else to install or configure!

Saves Time & Money

With its Plug and Play design, the NewerTech Voyager saves you the time of installing a hard drive into a computer or the cost of an external enclosure. Now you can think of bare SATA drives with the same convenience and instant access benefits as flash memory cards...but with huge gains in storage capacity!

Hot-Swap Ready

Have multiple hard drives you need to access? No problem, NewerTech Voyager's unique design makes hot-swapping SATA hard drives a breeze*. When finished using your drive, simply pull up on it or use the eject lever for 3.5" drives for quick and effortless removal.

Ideal Solution For Photographers & Videographers

Instead of needing multiple enclosures and power supplies for every archived hard drive, NewerTech Voyager makes accessing your valuable hard data a breeze. Just slide in your hard drive, find the desired image or clip, and then return the hard drive to your storage safe.

Truly Plug and Play

With all supported interface connector cables included, an auto-switching power supply for worldwide compatibility, and flexible operating system compatibility, the NewerTech Voyager can travel your data universe with ease.
  1. NewerTech Voyager Q is designed to spin down the hard drive and sleep after 15 minutes of inactivity, even if "Put drives to sleep when possible" is disabled in System Preferences. This is a power-saving and heat management feature.
  2. Use of eSATA interface requires system reboot in order to recognize hard drive.
  3. Voyager only accepts SATA interface drives. If you have IDE/ATA interface drives, we recommend the NewerTech USB Universal Drive Adapter.

    Versatile , quiet and reliable

    I use the VoyagerQuad as my Time Machine disk and as my media library disks and backup disks. with my Mac Mini. It is easy to use and very reliable and gives me peace of mind as I know I have backups for everything. It is also quite compact and I transport it when away from home. I don't like leaving things to the 'cloud' so I have my own!

    Amazing Product...

    I have purchased several of these to simplify the process of swapping external hard drives. It saves money by allowing me to buy raw hard drives, rather than external hard drives in expensive cases with bridge boards and their own power supplies, etc.... It works more reliably as well... Highly recommended

    I would recommend this product to a friend!
