NewerTech Intros MAXimus

WOODSTOCK, Ill. -- Newer Technology, Inc. (NewerTech) http://www.newertech.com, the leading developer of PC, Macintosh® and iPod® performance upgrades and accessories, announced today Guardian MAXimus™, the first low-cost FireWire® and USB2 External RAID 1 Storage Solution for consumers and professional users alike.

Guardian MAXimus is an external storage solution that works with any computer that has a FireWire 400, FireWire 800, or USB2 interface. It provides “live activity” backup/data redundancy via RAID 1 hardware mirroring, so that in the unlikely event of a hard drive failure its uninterrupted full data accessibility RAID-1 redundancy will ensure that there is no data loss. Convenient front panel LEDs display drive access and status information.

Provides a Mirrored Copy of All Data for Optimal Data Protection

Guardian MAXimus backs up financial records, medical files, business projects --any critical data that users simply cannot risk losing. It’s always guarding against data loss by writing the same information in real-time to two separate drives for a "mirrored" copy. It also protects users from costly system downtime and data restoring after a hard drive system crash. Even daily scheduled software backups can’t protect users from their last backup to the time when the hard drive fails.

Corporate Level Data Protection Made Affordable and EasyGuardian MAXimus provides the security of a highly reliable RAID 1 hardware storage solution at a low price. And unlike high-priced, hard to configure RAID 1 corporate storage common in high-end servers, Guardian MAXimus is FireWire/USB Plug ‘n Play easy, so no configuration is needed. Guardian MAXimus may have data accessed via any of its supported interfaces or moved between different systems utilizing those interfaces with complete interoperability. Guardian MAXimus delivers reliability, performance, and flexibility for data storage needs.
