FREMONT, Calif., Jan. 10, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lexar, a leading global brand of flash memory products, today announced the JumpDrive® 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.

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."
