- Ultra-Portable Backup Drive with Capacity Meter
- It's important that you ensure the work you do on your netbook or notebook is secure and protected. And with a busy lifestyle, there's no time for the hassle and complexity of a traditional backup solution, and no room to carry an external hard drive and cables with you. Developed with this in mind, the Lexar Echo MX backup drive is an easy-to-use, ultra-portable drive with capacity meter, which provides a convenient way to quickly and automatically back up and protect your files on the go. The drive is available in 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB capacities
- Easy-to-Use Automatic Backup Solution
- Designed for netbook and notebook users, the Lexar Echo MX is a high-capacity, high-performance, flash-based backup drive that easily plugs into your system's USB port to provide automatic backup of your files. Built-in Lexar Echo backup software activates as soon as it's plugged in, to securely and automatically protect files with 128-bit AES encryption. The drive also performs ongoing backups to any files in use, and restores previously saved versions of a file-providing peace of mind that your data is safe. What's more, the software works across platforms with one seamless interface, allowing you to easily back up or restore files on either a PC or a Mac system
- Quality Back Up and Store More
- The high-performance Lexar Echo MX backup drive comes in a range of high-capacity options-from 8GB to 128GB-so you can back up and protect large volumes of files and data on the go. And higher capacities offer higher performance-allowing you to quickly transfer large volumes of data with speeds up to 30MB/s read and 17MB/s write. This means you can quickly protect and store more of the files that matter-great for your mobile lifestyle
- Check Available Storage Space a Glance
- In addition to its compact design with an integrated sleeve cap that reveals the USB connector, the Lexar Echo MX backup drive sports an easy-to-read, always-on capacity meter that lets you determine your available backup space at a glance, and maintains the reading even when disconnected-for ultimate convenience

This large-capacity drive allows me to work on FCPX projects on my laptop or any other computer that has FCPX. This is the first time I worked on a video project from a thumb drive, breaking the notion that these small drives are only for storage or Office documents.
Of course I regularly backup the data to a desktop drive, but I'm able to work off this Lexar in the field. Before there were any large thumb drives in this price range I used portable bus-powered hard drives, which uses more battery power and are a bit cumbersome because they're larger, fragile, and require a cable.
The Lexar is an excellent replacement for an external hard drive. I hope to buy another one (or perhaps a larger one) if they stay affordable.

Extends Instead of Retracting
The product does what it should and is quite fast. However the sliding case cover extends outward to cover the USB connector and actually makes the device longer. This is a fundamental design flaw....Read complete review

Comments about Lexar 128GB Echo MX Backup Drive:
I use this for storing large video files and photos. This flash drive has excellent capacity, especially considering the price of similar capacity drives from other manufacturers. The write speed is not quite as fast as some other flash drives out there, but it is by no means slow.
Please note that this drive is formatted in the exFAT(Extended File Allocation Table) file system. If you are using on a computer that is not set up to use the exFAT file system (e.g. a computer running Windows XP which does not already have the free Windows exFAT patch) this drive will not function properly and you will not be able to store any data on it. If you want to use the drive in its native exFAT file system on a pre-Vista windows computer, simply get the free exFAT patch from Microsoft. Alternatively, you can re-format the drive to NTFS, which will make it compatable with older Windows systems - however, the formatting either needs to be done on a newer system or a computer that already has the exFAT patch.

Comments about Lexar 128GB Echo MX Backup Drive:
Best thing - the cheapest 128GB USB memory stick I was able to find (as of March 2012).
Worst thing - the slider that is supposed to cover it when not in use is very unstable. As a result, the memory stick stays almost all the time open in my pocket/backpack, exposed to anything that touches it. This is the only reason I gave it 3, not 4 or 5 stars.

Comments about Lexar 128GB Echo MX Backup Drive:
Another perfectly quiet and properly functioning USB drive. No surprises, no problems. Did not come with a cap, so I cut one of the plastic caps from one of my Apple iPod/iPhone cables and that works perfectly. The performance is average, which is fine for me, since capacity was the key here, and the price is good.

Comments about Lexar 128GB Echo MX Backup Drive:
After maxing out 2 flash drives on my digital picture frame, I needed something reliable. On this new flash drive there's a whole lot of room to work with. So far, I have seen some very good results since I have been using it on my digital picture frame.

Comments about Lexar 128GB Echo MX Backup Drive:
It's good capacity and works well. I use it on my MacBook Air and the fan was on pretty loud, so I believe the backup software is bad on resource, it does it's job though so backup copy is complete.
I changed to use the disk encryption which is a part of the Mac system and so far it's been working well.
