Longevity? Look elsewhere. [Posted on 2008-10-19]
I've had my Cruzer since the 2GB was $50 retail (1-2 years ago) and it's almost functionless. I used it pretty heavily, but it's no excuse for such a simple product to become defective. The slide action of the usb drive is too loose after such extensive use so that now it won't "lock" when it gets to its extended position and the resistance of pushing it into a USB port is greater than the worn down piece of plastic holding it into its extended position, meaning inserting it (its ONLY function) is difficult. In a few months time, it could be rendered impossible to use.
Let alone the software that's packaged on the drive is a huge pain. There are removal tools available on Sandisk's site, but the software itself is gimmicky at best. Sure, it's cool to have a virus scanner and Skype bootable from a flash drive, but I didn't buy a flash drive to boot things from it (although most programs will boot from one); I bought it to store files.
The push up style of USB drives is flawed. After prolonged use, the drive stops locking in its extended position, making inserting it into USB ports fairly challenging. Capped thumb have their obvious drawbacks, which leaves swivel style like 4GB Swivel Pro Flash Drive USB 2.0 with Neckstrap as one of the few long-lasting options.
Great cruzer [Posted on 2008-10-22]
I purchased this Cruzer micro for school and it is great. I had purchased a 2 gigabyte flash drive at a local store and the lid broke after I opened it. What I like about this is that it does not have a lid and it has its own little icon on the desktop. I received it no time from the seller.
Good product overall. [Posted on 2008-11-02]
Good flash drive itself. The only thing that bothers me sometimes is that the light never turns off. Other than that, it works very well.
It survived the washing machine [Posted on 2008-11-09]
I have had this device for about six months now, and i basically just use it to take files to and from school. Today it survived its ultimate test in my opinion. This little thing survived the washing machine and not only does it still work but all my information is still saved on it. Based on that fact alone i recommend this device to anyone.
Excellent quality USB Flash Drive [Posted on 2008-11-16]
Excellent quality USB Flash Drive. Protected connector with push-to-open & close action. USB connector retracts inside case when closed. No covers to lose or keep track of. Nice laynard; not too bulky. Cost effective purchase. High quality device. However...Sandisk provides no complimentary software for Apple (OS X or OS 9) only the usual MSDOS programs for PC-users. Not a big problem. Just delete everything on the USB Flash Drive (if it gets in your way) when you connect to your Apple. Too bad Sandisk can't even provide the most basic complimentary software for Apple. It's not necessary, but would have been nice. Still, I recommend this device due to its clever physical design (push-button opening and closing), and overall high quality build.
