Supports Seven Memory Card Formats, Including Memory Stick PRO
LAS VEGAS, March 2, 2003 - Lexar Media, Inc. (Nasdaq: LEXR), a leading designer, developer and marketer of award-winning high-performance digital media and accessories, today announces a 7 in 1 Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Multi-Card Reader, which accommodates CompactFlash Type I and Type II, Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO, Secure Digital, Smart Media and MultiMediaCard formats. Using USB 2.0, the Multi-Card Reader offers data transfer speeds of up to 40 times greater than USB 1.1.
"We are pleased to improve upon our Multi-Card Reader solution with the speed of USB 2.0 and the convenience of support for seven card formats including the new Memory Stick PRO," said David Klenske, director, product marketing, Lexar Media. "Now all of the popular form factors for digital cameras are included in just one reader. This is just one of the many products that keeps Lexar Media on the leading edge of photo accessories."
"Many consumers are realizing the advantages of USB 2.0 data transfer, specifically that it is 40 times faster than USB 1.1. Now that cameras are producing larger files, fast transfer and reduction of drain on the camera battery during transfer are becoming more of a necessity than a convenience," continued Klenske.
The USB 2.0 Multi-Card Reader connects to your computer easily through a USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 ports, needs no external AC power, is convenient to carry, and completely compatible with both PC and Mac. It is mass storage compliant, boasting true plug-and-play operability since no drivers are required for use with the latest operating systems. The unique design includes a built-in slot protector, which doubles as a reader stand when the unit is in use. The Multi-Card Reader is expected to be available at retail in April and retail at $39.99.
