NewerTech released their own quad-interface SATA HDD dock that aims to provide supreme protection to traditional hard disk drives.

Dubbed as Voyager SATA hard drive docking station, NewerTech’s latest product voyages into the untapped market of people caring for their computer’s storage device.

The new dock carries pretty much the same capabilities like its predecessor. The original hard disk dock was made by Brando. The product did not received a very warm welcome, particularly to tech bloggers and analysts who found that such device goes unneeded and only fitting to “hardest hardcore” users. But as a surprise, variations of the first product emerged momentarily, moreover, here’s another brand marketing their own version of the product.

The Voyager SATA HD dock works with any standard 2.5- or 3.5-inch SATA I / II hard drive. It turns any traditional HD, without memory limit into a portable external power memory storage device. It also works with FireWire 400 / 800, USB 2.0 and eSATA sockets so connectivity should be the last thing of your concern.

It is currently tagged at $99.95.

Finally, the long awaited admission.

After years of bragging that its unit is virtually impregnable, Apple has started advising Mac users to beef up OSX’s security by installing an antivirus software. This tacit admission that the Mac is vulnerable to malware comes as a surprise since one of its product’s main selling points is that it is more secure than the PC.

The advisory wasn’t brought about by any virus or spyware attack. It wasn’t an alarm bell as some have thought. The manner by which it was aired was actually discreet as the article or note was more of a nonchalant endorsement of the idea or tip.

Still, the advisory confirms what everybody, including Mac users, already knew – no computer is safe from malware, regardless of the platform or architecture on which it’s built.

This development should not be seen or interpreted as a victory for the malware authors. On the contrary, the news might have even discouraged hackers from testing Apple’s units, thus making the Apple computer even safer and more secure. It’s already difficult to infect the Mac and its OSX as it is. Fortifying it with an antivirus will definitely make any attempt to climb its walls all the more impossible.
