Lexar sent out a press release this morning, announcing their new
ExpressCard SSD. While smaller in size than other PC card solutions, the ExpressCard SSD offers capacities as high as 16GB and is
enhanced for use with Windows Vista's ReadyBoost technology. To top it off, it comes bundled with auto-backup
software.
Lexar Media, Inc., a world leader
in advanced digital media technologies, today announced the introduction of its new ExpressCard SSD with auto-backup software. Roughly
half the size of current PC Card solutions, the Lexar ExpressCard SSD is a high-capacity removable solid state drive (SSD) that promises
to set a new standard for delivering high-performance, lower-cost storage expansion to notebook computers. The Lexar ExpressCard SSD
comes bundled with auto-backup software, an innovative solution for protecting laptop computer files and data that allows for automatic
regular (daily, weekly, or monthly) backup without user intervention after the initial setup. During this setup, the user will be able to
set the folder and specific file types to be included or excluded from the backup process. In addition, this automatic backup software
can also support multiple computers by recognizing the computer name and the appropriate backup setting for each computer.
No word on pricing or availability yet. As we find out more, we'll let you know. In the mean time, Lexar's entire press
release can be found here.
