FREMONT, Calif., Jan. 9, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lexar, a leading
global brand of flash memory products, today introduced new Lexar(R)
Professional 600x and 400x Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC(TM)) and
Secure Digital Extended Capacity (SDXC(TM)) Ultra High Speed I (UHS-I)
memory cards, including the industry's first 128GB SDXC UHS-I card. The
cards offer outstanding performance, reliability, and compatibility for
professional and enthusiast photographers and videographers alike,
maximizing the digital workflow experience of capturing and managing
large volumes of high-quality images and extended lengths of 1080p
full-HD video.

The Lexar Professional 600x and 400x SDHC and SDXC cards leverage UHS-I
technology, and offer an impressive 90MB per second and 60MB per second
minimum guaranteed transfer speed, respectively.* Compatible with all
SDHC and SDXC devices, the cards help accelerate the digital
photography workflow, helping clear the camera's buffer for
uninterrupted shooting and quickly transferring images and video from
the memory card to the computer, especially when paired with a
compatible card reader, such as the Lexar(R) Professional USB 3.0
Dual-Slot Reader. The Lexar Professional 600x UHS-I cards are offered
in capacities of 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB, and the new Lexar Professional
400x UHS-I cards are available in capacities of 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB,
and 128GB, making them great solutions for capturing sustained,
rapid-fire images and extended lengths of 1080p high-definition (HD)
video with an SDXC- or SDHC-enabled camera.

"The speed of my workflow is a top concern since it can ultimately
impact my business. How efficiently I take and edit my images
determines how quickly I can deliver them to my clients," said Lexar
Elite Photographer Chris McLennan, who is world-renowned for his travel
and adventure photography. "Lexar Professional memory solutions have
always been a critical part of my workflow, and they enhance my capture
and post-production experience while keeping my images safe. If you're
a professional looking for the combination of speed, capacity, and
reliability in a memory card, the Lexar Professional 600x and 400x SDXC
and SDHC UHS-I memory cards are great options."

"Professional and hobbyist photographers and videographers are always
seeking ways to improve how they capture, store, and transfer their
captured content," said Pachi Chen-Wong, senior product marketing
manager, Lexar. "Lexar Professional 600x and 400x SDXC and SDHC UHS-I
memory cards offer high-performance read and write speeds, making them
great options for shooters who need solutions that help them shorten
the process of capturing, managing, and editing content, so they can
focus more of their time and energy on getting great images and video."

The cards include the latest version of Image Rescue(R) 4 software to
help with the recovery of lost or deleted photo and video files, even
if they've been erased or the card has been corrupted,** as well as a
limited lifetime warranty and free, dedicated professional technical
support. All Lexar product designs are tested in the Lexar Quality Labs
to ensure performance, quality, compatibility, and reliability with
more than 800 intended digital devices.

Lexar Professional 600x UHS-I cards will have MSRPs of $74.99 (16GB),
$124.99 (32GB), and $269.99 (64GB). The 16GB and 32GB Professional 600x
UHS-I cards will be available in February, and the 64GB capacity will
