The miniStack MAX Multi-Interface Storage Solution from NewerTech puts the diverse functionality of a high-capacity hard drive, CD/DVD optical drive, SD card reader, and a USB powered hub into a single aluminum finish enclosure. miniStack MAX offers fully bootable data storage/backup along with three USB ports for powering and charging external devices.
An integrated SD card reader (SDXC) located on the front of the drive allows you to transfer photos and videos from digital cameras easily. Plus, an internal optical drive offering DVD/CD read/write capabilities completes your digital workflow needs without adding extra cords and clutter.
Restores Optical Drive Capabilities
The miniStack MAX provides modern optical drive capabilities for all users, and more so with systems that no longer even include an optical drive. The miniStack MAX returns the convenience of installing software from a CD or a DVD, loading music into iTunes, accessing archived photos, or watching DVD on their computer without extra cords or clutter.
Plug-and-Play
With up to 6TB of capacity, the miniStack MAX is ready to handle the demands of extended storage or backup. It can also be used for intensive data access such as professional audio and video editing. With multiple interfaces like USB 3.0/2.0, FireWire 800/400, and eSATA, you can choose the data connection that suits your workflow. miniStack MAX allows you to store your entire music, photo, and video libraries, and burn backups via the internal optical drive.
Reads SD Memory Cards in a Flash
The integrated SD card reader (SDXC) on the front of the miniStack MAX makes transferring photos and video easy. Plus, it helps keep your desktop clean by eliminating the need for an external card reader and yet another cable.
Connect and Charge Digital Devices
Three powered USB ports on the back make the miniStack MAX a digital hub for connecting external devices like iPhones, mice, or keyboards. One of the USB ports is a high-powered 2.1A slot, making it suitable for charging an iPad or other devices that require more power than provided by standard USB connections.
