(from their PR mail)
The NewerTech Voyager Hard Drive Dock is a high-performance FireWire 800/400+USB2+eSATA Solution for additional storage and hard drive interchangeability.

No trays, no assembly - just drop the Serial ATA hard drive of your choice into the Voyager Dock and connect it via the FW800, FW400, USB 2.0, or eSATA port. The Voyager is the first and ONLY Quad-Interface docking solution of this type!
Features:
- Tray-less vertical hard drive docking

See miniStack full line with current price cuts. Also available as Enclosure kits (add Your Own Hard Drive) from $59.99.
There's also new pricing on our On-the-Go portable FW/USB 2.0 drives.
These solutions qualify for our Prosoft Drive Genius Special Offer - As low as $20 with purchase of a qualifying storage product - That's up to $79 off Prosoft's retail price, up to $59 off OWC's lowest normal selling price.
BTW - I've used a ministack v3 as my primary backup/time machine drive (for AL iMac via FW800) since last December. (The FW and USB hubs have really come in handy.) I just bought a new (3 platter) WD 1TB GP (32MB cache) ($107.75) drive to swap in it. (Cooler running and should be faster than the 1TB hitachi I have in there now.)
