"By enhancing both design and functionality, we’re bringing a variety of USB storage options to on-the-go consumers that meet their individual needs – whether they’re technology experts or novices – allowing them to reliably move and store data and media files in a small, portable format."

JumpDrive S70
The JumpDrive S70 offers stylish, secure portable storage, featuring a retractable connector design with a thumb slide. Pre-loaded with security software, the JumpDrive S70 allows users to create multiple password-protected areas called Encrypted Vaults that automatically encrypt data, in addition to a File Shredder feature to securely and thoroughly delete files that can then not be recovered. Available in a variety of shades in capacities of 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB and 64GB, the JumpDrive S70 provides consumers with peace of mind that files, photos, videos and other data are secure.

JumpDrive S50
The high-capacity JumpDrive S50 includes a new integrated cap design, featuring a protective, sliding cover to protect the USB connector, and a data transfer LED indicator light. The drive also features Microban antimicrobial protection, which is built-in during the manufacturing process to inhibit the growth of bacteria and mold that can cause stains, odors, and product deterioration. Available in 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB and 64GB capacities and a variety of colors, storing and transferring data is easy and reliable with the JumpDrive S50.

JumpDrive V10
The plug-and-play JumpDrive V10 features a translucent cap that protects the USB connector from damage when not in use and a LED indicator that lights up during data transfer. Consumers can choose the color and capacity that best meets their needs and style, including the light blue 4GB, blue 8GB, orange 16GB, and white 32GB. With the simple, portable JumpDrive V10, it’s easy to share, store, and transport data, video, music, and photos.

As a division of Micron Technology, Inc., Lexar Media is backed by Micron’s memory technology, providing consumers with the reliability and products they have come to expect from Lexar Media. Additionally, all Lexar products designs are tested in the Lexar Quality Labs where all Lexar product designs undergo testing to ensure performance, quality, compatibility, and reliability with more than 800 intended digital devices.

The Lexar JumpDrive S70, JumpDrive S50, and JumpDrive V10 USB flash drives are compatible with both Mac and PC systems and come with two-year limited warranties. The refreshed JumpDrive product line will be available in the first quarter of 2011 at retailers and on the company’s web site.
