 One tough key November 9, 2008
Sadly I have washed and dried the 4GB Titanium flash drive twice. I got really upset the first time as I thought there goes a wasted investment. To my surprise it worked as if nothing happened at all. In short the drive is a life saver and it's very durable. The one problem I had was that the slide out contact sometimes doesn't lock properly and you have to fidget with it to get it to slide/lock into the USB port correctly.
 Annoying & Confusing October 21, 2008

Bought this device as I was thinking it would be another easy-to-use SanDisk product. I guess it does fulfill the basic function you expect from a memory stick; HOWEVER two things are hugely annoying: 1) When you plug in the device for the first time, you receive a message that it has been installed successfully. Yet, the device does not identify itself with a name; so if you have several removable USB storage devices hooked up at the same time (also not specifically identified) then the guessing game begins. I wanted a simple back-up memory stick - why do I have to click on/push fifteen buttons to find out where to drag the data to, and how to safely remove the hardware before unplugging it ...?
Very annoying and NOT AT ALL customer friendly -as other reviewers have remarked before me- are the constant reminders to sign-up for the online features. (It'll be a cold day in hell when I trust an online site with my personal data ...!!!)
In short: I'm thinking about returning it - too annoying and too much hassle, even for $40 (which is what I still paid for it).

Amazing usb drive October 10, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I am very impressed with this usb drive. The titanium skin is as tough as advertised. When I bought it, I didn't even know about the backup service available. The tough thing about having valuable info on a flash drive like this is that if you lose the drive, your info is gone. This drive comes with an online backup service, so that if you lose the drive, you can replace it and get all your info back right away. It performs as well as any drive I have owned, and now I am not worried if I were to lose it, except that I probably not lose it due to how great it looks and feels, I check for it all the time, and its always there.
 Cruzer Titanium Plus - the bad & the ugly September 9, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
The Titanium Plus operates as a standard flash drive - no Launchpad user interface, no drive password, no hardware data encryption, if you select "No" to the initial prompt when you first connect the drive to a USB port.
If you select "Yes", the Launchpad interface will be installed. You then have the Launchpad user interface, and the capability to password the drive. But you will also be inundated with prompts to complete the registration for the on-line back-up service. Once installed, you cannot disable the on-line back-up service in the setup/configuration for Launchpad, contrary to what the FAQ page on the Sandisk website for the Titanium Plus suggests. The cost of the service after the 6 free months is not provided. I would not trust personal data to an on-line Website anyway, even encrypted - look at the Microsoft ".Net Passport" fiasco, their database with people's personal information was hacked into multiple times.
It appears Sandisk is attempting to force users into subscribing to the Sandisk on-line back-up service, unless you're willing to use the drive without any advanced features. And what's to stop Sandisk from making all their older drives behave this way when you innocently submit to a software/firmware update?
Time to switch to another USB drive brand.
