Press release, May 2; Esther Lam, DIGITIMES [Thursday 3 May 2007]

Lexar Media announced the introduction of its new ExpressCard solid-state disk (SSD) that features auto-backup software. Memory density of the card includes 4GB, 8GB and 16GB.

The bundled auto-backup software allows automatic regular (daily, weekly, or monthly) backups without user intervention after the initial setup, thus protecting data stored, said Lexar. During this setup, users will be able to set the folder and specific file types to be included or excluded from the backup process. In addition, this automatic backup software can also support multiple computers by recognizing the computer name and the appropriate backup setting for each computer, noted Lexar.

The ExpressCard SSD interface supports a direct connection to the chipset, allowing users to enjoy all of its extensive backup and Windows Vista's ReadyBoost capabilities without having to unplug the card after every use; users simply keep their ExpressCard SSD in the slot as an external storage device, the company noted.

Price and a shipment schedule have not been disclosed yet.
