Nothing
I don’t see how it could have been a better or easier to operate device.
The Voyager Q doesnt support ATA (IDE) hard drives and comes with a bulky power adapter.
Pricey
But cheaper similar devices do not offer all four connection methods. Clunky power supply.
Price
Some drives can be a loose fit
High Price
No IDE Interface
Power adapter extender cable not included. Connectors are closely spaced and not aligned. Doesn't look as good as previous models. User needs to be mindful of correct sequence of operation
