If you are a fan of the SSDs, you will know that we have had just a bit of Lexar coverage to date.  Personally speaking, I have always been a Lexar fan and it is a mainstay in much of my media equipment.    Last we wrote, we were able to show you that they have had tremendous luck with …

Last week in Zhongshan, China, Lexar invited a very small group of international press for a special preview of just a few of their upcoming releases.  This event was held at the Longsys/Lexar/Foressee Headquarters which also houses the Lexar Memory Museum.  To say that this facility is breathtaking is just a bit of an understatement as it is situated in …

Without a doubt, one of the best parts of being a part of the flash industry over the past 12 years has to be the opportunities this technology has provided. So much of what we take for granted is solely the result of flash technology and it is mind-blowing how we fail to even recognize its existence in so much …

So we have been on a bit of a roll with Lexar products for the last week or so, and that is a good thing.  For those not familiar with Lexar, they had a very strong presence in the media storage world, originally a Micron company but sold to Longsys of China back in August of 2017.  This of course …

A few days back, we did a review on the first 1TB microSD card to make it outside of manufacturers test facilities and the only negative of that review was that we couldn’t tell you when it would be available, or the cost.  That was the Lexar 1TB High-Professional microSDXC which is the smallest 1TB storage drive in the industry …

I have been a Lexar fan for too many years to remember so one might imagine that I became just a bit concerned when they were sold off to Longsys, a manufacturer having a great reputation abroad, but without a similar following by media professionals here in North America.  We met with the new owners shortly after the purchase and …

Lexar is announcing the NM Series of M.2 SSDs, their newest addition to their internal SSD lineup.  The M.2 NM series offers a traditional SATA III (6Gb/s) model (NM200), as well as three PCIe NVMe models (NM500, NM520, NM600) for both entry-level users as well as enthusiasts, gamers and content creators.

This year at Computex 2018, Lexar decided to show the world some muscle and prove in no short order that they are alive and well.  As a media professional, I will be the first to admit that it was an amazing display…starting with their 512GB microSD card, a card we are hoping to get on our test bench very soon. …

Longsys is announcing that it has acquired the Lexar brand and trademark rights from Micron.  Micron announced back in June that it was discontinuing sale of Lexar-branded products, and that it was exploring options to sell all or part of that business. Enter Longsys, who plans to further develop and promote the Lexar brand to expand its presence and make …
