read and 17MB/s write, based on capacity, coupled with the capacity meter powered by E Ink technology, users can access data while checking available space. The Lexar Echo ZX backup drive, provides the protection users are looking for in a
low-profile, plug-and-stay design. The drive is available in 8GB, 16GB, and
32GB capacities, with transfer speeds up to 28MB/s read and 15MB/s write, based

Thanks to the Lexar Echo backup software functionality,
saving and protecting valuable documents, presentations, photos, and video files
are no longer tedious tasks. Unlike traditional backup software, it allows
users to define the number of versions it saves, preserving multiple iterations
of a file for later use, gives access to previous versions of a file, and
protects against data loss, even if a file was inadvertently modified or erased
on the user’s computer. Both drives also provide 128-bit AES encryption.

"Whether a business professional presenting on the road
or a student backing up an assignment, protecting the valuable files stored on
mobile devices is a top priority for today’s consumers," said Jyh Chau,
senior product marketing manager, Lexar Media. "As more and more users
embrace mobile computing, the need for backup technology that fits the
on-the-go lifestyle is increasing, and with the Echo MX and ZX drives we are
providing an automatic, easy solution."

Both drives are inter operable between Windows XP, Windows
Vista, and Windows 7, as well as Mac OS X operating systems, allowing
data to be accessible on both PC or Mac computers. The Lexar Echo
backup drives are available with MSRPs from $29.99 to $399.99 for the Echo MX
and $29.99 to $99.99 for the Echo ZX.
