Lexar unveils 2 high-capacity USB drives at CES

In the never-ending flow of devices emerging this week from CES in Las Vegas, there have been many exciting products. Given what we’ve seen, a USB drive may seem less than thrilling, but the new Lexar thumb drives could change your mind.

The company showed off its new high-capacity Jumpdrives — 128 GB and 256 GB models. “The increased capacities paired with the performance of USB 3.0 technology make these drives a convenient solution for transporting or archiving of all types of files”, Lexar announces today.

The company claims that each JumpDrive model is compatible with Mac and PC systems and undergoes extensive testing in the Lexar Quality Labs, facilities with more than 1,100 digital devices, to ensure performance, quality, compatibility, and reliability.

The two new devices will be released in the first quarter of this year. Pricing has not yet been announced for either product.
