FREMONT, Calif., Jan. 10, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lexar, a leading
global brand of flash memory products, today announced the JumpDrive(R)
Triton USB 3.0 flash drive. Available in 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB
capacities, the new JumpDrive Triton is more than 20 times faster than
standard USB 2.0 flash drives based on benchmark tests,* offering
blazing-fast 155MB per second read and 150MB per second write speeds
for exceptionally fast and reliable downloading and transferring of
content. For additional information about the Lexar JumpDrive Triton
USB 3.0 flash drive, visit www.lexar.com.

In real-world usage, the JumpDrive Triton takes just 35 seconds to copy
a 4GB high-definition (HD) movie,** compared to 11 minutes of waiting
time with a standard JumpDrive USB 2.0 flash drive. Additionally, its
compact form factor makes it one of the smallest high-performance USB
3.0 drives on the market, enabling users to manage, move, and store
their content quickly and efficiently while on the go. The Lexar
JumpDrive Triton also features a sleek metal alloy base and a
high-gloss mirror finish.

"USB 3.0 technology provides the high-speed performance that allows
end-users to download their content -- whether it's videos, MP3s,
documents, or photos -- faster than ever, and take it with them for
anytime, immediate access," said Aaron Lee, director of USB product
marketing, Lexar. "The JumpDrive Triton USB 3.0 flash drive combines
fast transfer speeds, ultra portability, and an appealing sleek design
to provide on-the-go users with one of the fastest, smallest, and most
reliable USB 3.0 flash drives available."

As a brand of Micron Technology, Lexar is backed by Micron's
industry-leading memory technology, providing consumers with the
reliability and award-winning products they have come to expect from
Lexar. All Lexar product designs undergo extensive testing in the Lexar
Quality Labs to ensure performance, quality, compatibility, and
reliability with more than 800 intended digital devices.

In addition to the JumpDrive Triton, Lexar is also introducing the new
JumpDrive S73 USB 3.0 flash drive to offer users a wide range of
storage options according to their needs. Available in color capacities
of 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB, the JumpDrive S73 offers users the same
convenience and reliability of existing JumpDrive products, but with
the added speed and performance benefits of USB 3.0 technology.

Both new USB 3.0 drive designs are compatible with Mac(R) and PC
systems. The JumpDrive Triton USB 3.0 comes with a limited lifetime
warranty and is available now in 16GB and 32GB capacities at Amazon,
NewEgg, and on Lexar.com with MSRPs of $69.99 and $109.99,
respectively. The 64GB JumpDrive Triton will be available in February
