Product Review

Designed for netbook or notebook users, the high-performance Lexar Echo ZX backup drive is an always-ready, low-profile backup solution that automatically backs up and protects your essential files on the go. 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, while the drive's plug-and-stay design allows you to easily plug it into your system-and keep it there-for ongoing, automatic file backup. The drive is available in 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB capacities, with speeds up to 28MB/s read and 15MB/s write. Compatible with both PC and Mac systems. Two-year limited warranty.

This review is from: Lexar Echo ZX Backup Drive 32GB Flash Drive (LEHZX32GBSBNA) (Personal Computers)
I bought this drive to use with a tablet TV in the car to play movies for the kids on long road trips. The small size ensures that it won't get knocked out of place and the large capacity holds a lot of DIVX files. The speed is easily good enough for my needs. In my testing, the write speed was slower than claimed, but still as fast or faster than any other flash drives I own. The formatted capacity, as expected, is 29.8 GB.

Here are my performance results using H2testw v1.4:

FAT32 (16K blocks):
Writing speed: 10.4 MByte/s
Reading speed: 21.6 MByte/s

FAT32 (32K blocks):
Writing speed: 10.6 MByte/s
Reading speed: 21.8 MByte/s

exFAT (32K blocks):
Writing speed: 10.6 MByte/s
Reading speed: 21.9 MByte/s

NTFS (4K blocks):
Writing speed: 8.64 MByte/s
Reading speed: 20.5 MByte/s

NTFS (32K blocks):
Writing speed: 10.6 MByte/s
Reading speed: 21.6 MByte/s

Whatever you do don't buy this item. I ordered this from Amazon and when it arrived it was dead. As other reviewers have said basically you plug it in and it does nothing. Tried it on several different computers and some (Windows 7) just didn't recognize it and others (Windows XP) did recognize it but showed it to be a HD with 0kb of space and unable to be formatted. It sounds like for those who get lucky enough to have it work out of the box (BTW the second one I had Amazon send me also didn't work... again DOA right out of the box) tend to see these fail within a few weeks. Save yourself the hassle and go with another manufacture. There are plenty of people making these low profile thumb drives so there is no reason to buy this one with all the trouble people have had.

Wow - what a terrible product. Ordered two of these with anticipation - good deal and 32GB in a small package.

1 was DOA...

The 2nd failed within an hour of use....

Lexar needs to go back to the drawing board on this one...

Horray for Amazon - AMAZING customer service / return policy ...
