NEWERTECH ANNOUNCES GUARDIAN MAXIMUS PLUG N' PLAY MIRRORED RAID 1 STORAGE

Provides "Live Activity" Backup of Critical Data

May 17, 2007, Woodstock, IL -- 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 Easy

Guardian 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.
