5 out of 5 stars 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.

I have had both the 4Gb and more recently the 8Gb version of this drive. The U3 some people find gimmicky, but it is easily removed and the device will function like a traditional USB stick. Personally, I like the U3 functionality. I use many desktop and laptop devices and to be able to have your own virtual desktop for me is very advantageous. U3 works with both Vista and XP OSes- earlier versions didn't, so rest assured it is ready to use out of the box. I have had mine now for over 2 months and use it extensively every day. Highly recommended.


5 out of 5 stars Superb item to have - a must have.   March 25, 2008

I can't fault this little USB memory storage unit at all.

The U3 software is great - I had the opportunity whilst abroad at an internet cafe to realise that having programs with the ability to read and edit MS suite documents was invaluable. Spend alittle time learning to use U3 and access their website for lots of free or low value software downloads to enhance its capabilities.

The 8Gb memory is more than enough for most data transfers, and it all fits in your pocket or wallet with ease. The retracting USB connector is great, meaning no annoying cap or worse still loss of the cap. The button also lights up to show the USB is connected and flashes when transferring data. Read and write speeds are very good so you dont have those blank screen moments waiting for the PC to read the USB memory content. The little ring clip is strong enough for the task if you attach to keys, however expect it to get marked fairly easily as its a plastic/resin cover.

My only minor quibble might be that Sandisk used to provide you with a Lanyard, and now they dont for whatever reason? However, don't let that put you off as it doesnt detract for an excellent USB memory stick with excellent software and support.



5 out of 5 stars Best computer gadget ever   January 29, 2008

I was given one as a present, and thought here we go, another of those useless things. Now I cannot live without it. I am a busy professional on the move and I don't have to carry my laptop with me anymore. This gadet has all my files, emails etc etc on a thing the size of a lighter. Easy to set up with simple instructions. Easy to carry in your pocket or handbag. Just plug into any computer and all your files are there in one click. How ever did I cope before Cruzer
