 Small, Fast, and plenty of storage January 31, 2009

SanDisk make great flashdrives, as they have some of the quickest write and read speed on the market. This one currently goes over twice the speed of my other flashdrive I use. It makes transferring large files or a large number of files across a lot quicker and less painful timewise.
The retractable usb connector is a nice little feature, and helps against any possible damage. The weight of this is incredibily light, and feels like im holding nothing when in my hand. A nice orange glow appears from the flashdrive when it is connected, so you can clearly see it in use.
This flashdive comes with software called U3, which mean you are able to install and run programs directly off the drive. This is a handy feature if you use particular programs and you use another computer which doesnt have it, if you had it installed on your flashdrive you could use it anywhere. Having 16gbs also helps as there is plenty of space for extra programs.
Overall a great buy, and recommended.
Very good USB flash drive. Great value for money. February 10, 2008

I've had around 5 USB drives and this is the best so far. It's great for me as it doesn't need an annoying cap and it's cased in hard-wearing black plastic and not painted like my last few which have ended up being scratched by loose change and keys.
I was going to get the titanium version but realised I won't be leaving it under my car tyre before I drive off. Actually from experience the most vulnerable part of a USB drive is the connector. The titanium versions won't help if you knock the drive while inserted into a PC or laptop.
I actually bought two of these and one I use for documents and find U3 very useful. The second I got rid of U3 as I need it for just a basic drive. Removing U3 from the second drive was quite straight-forward.
Does the Job well! August 13, 2007

I didn't need and haven't used the more sophisticated features of this drive, but for my money it is still the biz!.
All the important things I wanted are there -
- It's absolutely tiny
- It seems robust with a nice strong key-chain loop
- cheap as chips (<£20)
- lots of storage
- don't know if it is any faster than my old one or not, but I don't really care about speed anyway
Only a couple of comments apart from that:
1. It includes a software 'mini-desktop' which presumably activates the advanced features like U3 and skype, and seems to feature a bunch of demos, games etc. I don't like this as it just gets in the way and makes the desktop untidy.
2. The retractable USB connector clicks in and out nicely and the whole thing glows orange when connected - cool! The only reservation I have is that without the 'cap' that one normally gets, surely it could still get grit inside the connector if kept in your pocket etc? Again, not something that has been a problem for me but thought I'd mention it as a thought anyway.

This item is HIGH QUALITY despite peoples doubts July 1, 2008

First of all, I'd like to mention that I've owned by Cruzer Micro for about 2 years - I only have the 2GB version but thought I'd review on here seeing as this is an awesome price for a high quality memory stick.
Ever since getting this bit of kit its worked a treat, despite being plastic, its VERY durable. By being plastic, its also VERY light, I've many times thought I may have lost it, as its so small and light in my pocket! Not sure if thats a good thing!
Also, the USB slider feature is very good - one would think that the slider may get a bit flimsy and loose after much use, but this is not the case, its still as tightly locked and good to use as the first day I got it.
And beleive me, I got this about half way through my college course and it got very vigorous and rough use - being slapped in and out of many machines - and it has never been a problem.
It has always been attached to my key ring along with many other keys and the small metal key ring attached to the stick is still in one peice - I think because it is metal, and so small - it is actually stronger than it looks.
When the USB section is snugly tucked away, it is still exposed to air, but its concealed enough to be safe, and what harm is a little dust going to do, I've NEVER once had to blow dust out of the end of mine and it still works first time every time.
One thing I'd also like to mention is that someone mentioned if you google "sandisk cruzer doesn't work" then you get lots of hits... most of these hits are about problems with the U3 technology and on various models of memory stick.
I never really used the U3 features so can't comment on that.
Hope this helps.
5/5 for sure.
Plastic case is fine with me July 19, 2008

I own the 4GB version with the identical plastic case and retracting USB. The plastic case has survived months of continuous use, and even kept working after I accidentaly kicked and broke it while it was in one the floor level USB slots and snapped, the plastic case was able be clicked back together and now is as good as new. Even the retracting thing still works. For the first couple of days after I first bought it, I kept accidentally retracting it by gripping the white slidey thing while plugging it in, but am now well used to it and hugely prefer it to having a cap which I always lose within a week of ownership of devices like this. When plugged into a powered USB2 hub it goes like greased lightning. Only annoying thing for me is actually the U3 CD thing which I never use but which keeps coming up with a list of "what do you want to do with this device" everytime I insert into a PC running Windows. Works perfectly for Mac however where the U3 thing is not such an annoyance, easy to transport files from one OS to the other, and read and write on both without a reformat being necessary.
