Lexar, a leading global brand of flash memory products, today announced the Lexar JumpDrive M10 Secure USB 3.0 flash drive for safe and high-speed file transfer. The new drive offers EncryptStick Lite software, an advanced security solution with 256-bit AES encryption for comprehensive data protection, the ability to create a single password-protected vault that automatically encrypts data, and a File Shredder feature that permanently deletes files from the device so they cannot be restored. Additionally, the drive sports an easy-to-read, always-on capacity meter to determine available storage space at a glance, even when disconnected.

Offering read speeds up to 100MB/s on all capacities, the drive features write speeds up to 20MB/s on 16GB capacity, up to 30MB/s on 32GB capacities, and up to 55MB/s on 64GB and 128GB capacities. Such speeds allow users to transfer a 3GB HD video clip in less than 90 seconds, 13 times faster than the 20 minutes it takes using a standard USB 2.0 drive.
