Lexar USB 3.0 256GB and 512GB Drives

Lexar, a brand of Micron Consumer Products Group, Inc., a subsidiary of Micron Technology, Inc., expanded its Professional Workflow line to include 512GB and 256GB USB 3.0 storage drives.

Professional Workflow DD512

Designed for use with its Professional Workflow Hub, the new Professional Workflow DD512 and DD256 storage drives give photographers and videographers the power to backup images and video files from multiple memory cards at once.

They offer read transfer speeds up to 450MB/s and write speeds up to 245MB/s.* They include an LED capacity meter that allows users to see available storage space. Designed to enable fast transfer and backup of RAW images, high-res photos, and HD, 3D, and 4K video, the drives can be removed from the hub and used individually.

“The new Workflow storage drives allow users to store and backup their work quickly and efficiently at speeds faster than a standard HDD. The new capacity meter also provides a great option for users that need to quickly see how full the drives are,” said Adam Kaufman, manager of card product marketing, Lexar. “The new DD512 and DD256 storage drives offer great value to not only photographers and videographers, but anyone in need of a large and fast storage drive at an affordable price.“

In addition to the new storage drives, the expanded Lexar Professional Workflow line now also includes two four-bay reader hubs (Thunderbolt 2/USB 3.0 and USB 3.0) and a selection of  memory card readers (SDHC/SDXC UHS-I, CF UDMA 7, XQD, and CFast 2.0). All products are sold separately so users can configure the hub into a solution that meets their workflow needs.

The Professional Workflow DD512 and Professional Workflow DD256 are available with MSRPs of £99.99 and £144.99, respectively, and each include a two-year limited warranty.

*Speed claims based on reported Thunderbolt 2, Thunderbolt, and USB 3.0 speed specifications. Actual usable memory capacity may vary.
