New Lexar Echo SE and Echo ZE USB Drives

CES 2010:  Lexar announces two new drives designed as compact drives with big storage capacity.

The Lexar Echo SE is the smallest Lexar drive yet at just 20.1mm x 15.1mm.  It looks much like a USB dongle, but with the flash memory stored inside the USB connector.  Lexar understands with the larger capacities, these little USB drives are invaluable for data backup.  The Echo SE is available from 8-32GB size and includes Lexar’s automatic backups software.

The Lexar Echo SE will be available in February, but you can pre-order them now at Amazon [link here].

If the Echo SE is a bit to small, or you have trouble with holes in your pant pockets, you might opt for the larger Echo ZE drive.  Here you have the sleek looking switch blade design where the USB connector retracts into the body.  In addition to the backup software you also get AES 128-bit encryption software in the event you lose your Echo ZE drive.

As with the SE series, the Echo ZE will not be available until February, but you can pre order them at Amazon [link here].
