Still on the East Side
Newer Technology Inc. (NewerTech), a leading developer of Macintosh, PC, iPod, iPhone, and iPad performance upgrades and accessories announced a new 5 TB + 5 TB 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 5 TB + 5 TB, 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 238 MB/s read, 245 MB/s write.





No Downtime
The Guardian MAXimus is Plug and Play ready in RAID-1 mode, for "mirrored" data across two drives. If one drive fails, the other drive holds all your data intact and allows the system to keep working. Once the failed drive is replaced, the new drive is automatically mirrored to provide data redundancy once again.

Compatible, Flexible
With USB 3.0, eSATA, FireWire 800 and FireWire 400, the Guardian MAXimus doesn't require complicated set-up and is ready for Plug and Play use with legacy Macs, the latest Mac models, and PCs. The multiple interfaces provide the flexibility to move between different systems with complete interoperability for maximum data backup performance and flexibility.

It's not intended to be a NAS or a network drive. There are an almost infinite number of other choices if that's what you are looking for.
