Lexar’s Echo SE Backup line of USB flash drives may not look special, But they ship with software that can automatically back up files from your computer without any intervention required. That’s the sort of functionality you usually see on USB hard drives, not thumb drives, and I’m not sure I’d really want a 16GB or 32GB drive to spend its time trying to back up my data.
But Lexar has just launched a new model that comes with a whopping 128GB of storage. That should be more than enough space to backup pretty much every file most people keep on a netbook, since many netbooks come with 160GB or smaller hard drives.
The only catch? this thing will set you back nearly $350

About 2 years ago I bought a 64gb usb drive for $65.00, so about $150 should be more like it. Why is it all the new stuff is so bloody expensive?
Are they just looking for suckers?
