June 26, 2008 Woodstock, IL -- Newer Technology, Inc. (NewerTech(r))
(http://www.newertech.com), the leading developer of PC, Macintosh(r),
iPod(r), and iPhone(r) performance upgrades and accessories, today
announced the new Guardian MAXimus 300GB 10,000RPM "Triple Interface"
FireWire 800/400/USB 2.0 model, the fastest and most reliable Plug & Play
RAID-1 mirror external storage solution available on the market for
consumers and business professionals alike.

Delivers Fastest Data Backup/Protection

The new Guardian MAXimus 300GB 10,000RPM offers users of all levels and
operating systems the fastest, most reliable method to back-up and store
critical data with Plug & Play ease. Always guarding against data loss and
costly system downtime, Guardian MAXimus writes the same information in
real-time "live activity" to two 300GB 10,000RPM drives for a "mirrored"
copy. The Guardian MAXimus 300GB 10,000RPM utilizes the Western Digital
VelociRaptor(tm), the fastest SATA drive on the market, with data transfer
rates up to 100MB/s, OS X "Leopard(tm)" Time Machine readiness, and a
"Triple Interface" of two FireWire 800, one FireWire 400, and one USB 2.0
ports to provide the performance, flexibility, and reliability required for
demanding audio/video, photo-editing, and 3D rendering applications.

Exceeds Enterprise-Class Quality with Highest Reliability Rating

With its two mirrored 300GB drives, each offering up to 1.4 million hours
MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure), the Guardian MAXimus exceeds
enterprise-class standards with the highest reliability rating found in
high capacity SATA drives. Additionally, the 300GB 10,000RPM model is
covered by a two year warranty on the complete solution and an additional 3
year warranty on each drive.

Plug & Play Simplicity

Guardian MAXimus provides the security of a highly reliable RAID 1
hardware-based 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 & Play easy, so no controller cards,
software configuration, or driver downloading is required. Guardian
MAXimus can access data via any of its supported interfaces or move between
different computers utilizing those interfaces with complete
interoperability.
