NewerTech Voyager Overview

If you have spare hard drives lying around and you want an easier way to read them than throwing them back into your computer chassis, then you need the Voyager S3 USB 3.0 Dock for 2.5"/3.5" SATA Drives from Newer Technology.

This unique docking station can read almost any 2.5 or 3.5" SATA III 6 Gb/s, SATA II 3 Gb/s, or SATA I 1.5 Gb/s drive, up to 6TB (support for drives over 2TB requires Windows XP 64-bit and later, or macOS 10.2 or later). There's a push-button eject for safe removal, a 2-color status LED, and it uses the ASMedia 1051e chipset. If your system's BIOS allows booting from its USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 interface, you can even use this as an external start up drive.

The weighted base and nonskid rubber feet ensure stable operation, and the compact design won't significantly impact your workspace. It's quiet, and no cooling fan is needed, so you won't even know it's there. It includes a USB 3.0, USB-B to USB-A cable for out-of-the-box operation and is compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems.

NewerTech Voyager Reviews

Works great, easy to use, and great price!

I have the previous version of this drive, which has been a great drive dock for my backup drives. I use that one with my older Apple computers that have firewire interfaces and because I'm finally updating my main computer I wanted to get a dock that would work with the latest USB standards. The price was what clinched the deal for me, and I have had no problems using this with drives that I had been using with my older newertech drive dock. I've only had it for two weeks but so far everything has worked perfectly right out of the box. It comes with a USB A cable, so you will need an adapter with a newer machine.

Works as expected

I don't know of any drive size limitations on the Voyager S3. The limitations if any, show up in your computer operating system and with your USB connections. Call Newertech voyager S3 Tech Support: (800) 275-4576 (north America) My S3 works great, but the largest drive I have used so far is 4TB.

Check in your disk management took or Disk Utility depending on your OS, and select the volume for formatting. Most times the unit of storage has not been allocated properly.

This NewerTech Voyager S3 is a USB 3.0 Dock for connecting 2.5"/3.5" SATA Drives to a computer externally. The dock doesn't format the hard drives itself, but you can use the computer to format a drive that is in the dock.

I just bought a mini Mac. Will it be able to connect to it or do I have to buy a converter cable?
Asked by: Karen Gerace
It has a USB-A connection so you would need to adapt that. Also it should work on Big Sur but we haven't tested it yet.

Has anyone used this device to "clone" an SSD boot disk to a larger SSD? Both disks are SATA.
Asked by: Jeff
Not exactly, but I've cloned an SSD boot drive from a mechanical boot disk. I used Macrium Reflect with the source disk in use; other methods might yield different results depending on what cleverness Macrium uses.
