Lexar’s JumpDrive
By Shutterbug Staff October 18, 2005 — Lexar Media, Inc. (Nasdaq: LEXR) JumpDrive Lightning combines powerful read and write speeds and massive (2GB) storage capacities to provide portable data storage and transfer capabilities. With a distinctive stainless steel casing, JumpDrive Lightning is capable of a read/write speed rating of 120x (18MB/sec) minimum sustained write speed capability and 160x (24 MB/sec) minimum sustained read speed capability.

JumpDrive Lightning also provides data security and file synchronization, with flexible options to help keep important data safe and protected, even if the drive is lost or stolen. JumpDrive Lightning creates both password-protected and public areas on the drive. The public area is accessible by anyone using the JumpDrive, while the private area is password-protected and also encrypted with 256-bit AES. This makes it possible for users to easily share files, while at the same time securely limit access to sensitive or private information.

For added convenience, JumpDrive Lightning easily synchronizes files between a PC and the JumpDrive, putting the most current data at users’ fingertips at all times. In addition, convenient setup preferences can include or exclude subfolders or filter specific file types to be synchronized.

The portable JumpDrive Lightning is also available in 512MB and 1GB. The 2GB capacity maintains top read/write speeds. All capacities are compatible with Windows 2000 and XP computers. JumpDrive Lightning has a suggested retail price of $279.99 for the 2GB.
