 Cruzer, king of portables May 16, 2008
Reluctantly bought the product since another USB drive, the Corsair, had more positive and numerous reviews -the problem I saw with the Corsair is it was too bulky. So I decided for the Cruzer. And I am not disappointed at all.
First, the USB plug gets in and out cleanly without getting stuck on the way. No more lost caps.
Second, SECURITY is fantastic. It DOES work. Without a password, that you create when you insert for the first time the USB drive, nobody can access the files in the drive. You will not be able to access it with a file explorer without entering a password first. Ideal if you carry personal and confidential information in it. No worries if you lose it. The only way anybody, the lucky one who finds the drive, can access the drive again is to format it.
Third, PORTABLE applications. There is a new wave of software applications that will run from a USB drive without modifying the settings in the host computer. In Windows is a pain since most of the commercial applications write to the registry. And even more helpful if you have at work a locked computer. The Cruzer comes with a set of applications built in and you can add even more from the U3 website or from [...]. Most of the applications are very well known Open Source. Personally, I love "WinDirStat" (generates a graphic map of your PC drives and folders and tells what files are taking the most of your disk space, ideal for cleanup day), and "KeePass Password Safe" which is a vault for that multitude of passwords so common today.
I was just buying a USB drive with 8GB and ended up getting unexpected extra value. That made me so happy.
SanDisk 8GB Cruzer Micro USB May 9, 2008
This product is great. It arrives in the manufacturers packaging and is so easy to use. I was a little worried with some of the technology, and I'm pretty good with the technology. I would recommend this product to anyone. It has made my job and personal life much easier to handle. Thanks.
It holds as much memory as my 1998 NEC Pentium 3 May 5, 2008
Its very useful where i work when i am transporting 3 to 7 gigabytes of video around at my work.
it comes with a u3 system on it that i dont use much... mainly because it is not compatible with macintosh. but there is a way to delete the program off of it.
although if you do have a PC... the program is very useful for locking, finding, and moving files.
Impressive USB flash drive May 5, 2008
This is the best flash drive that I ever tried
-Led indicator indicates clearly which is the right front side of the card. It's always easy to to plug it in the computer. On the contrary with all the other cards you never know which is the side 'up' or 'down'.
-small, it fits in every computer socket without any need for an extension cable
-high capacity, 8Gb
-reliable
- you are free to use the U3 manufacturer software or to uninstall it, you have the option the first time you use it and later. You can even remove and reformat the drive if you want.
Highly recommended.
 SanDisk's 8GB Cruzer Micro - Great All-Around USB Drive May 3, 2008

SanDisk 8 GB Cruzer Micro
The Cruzer Micro is a great USB flash drive with some significant advantages. You don't have to worry about losing the cap. There is a chance of getting dust in the head, so make sure to clean it from time to time with compressed air. Kingston also makes some retractable USB models as well, but in general I still prefer SanDisk.
This guy has 2, 4 and 8 GB sizes. 8GB is kind of the minimum size I would purchase at this point, since I have a ton of smaller drives already. This guy has the smallest case out of regular USB drives out there. The only way to get smaller storage is to my a memory card or a micro drive.
The small slot and ring are not really sturdy enough to secure this drive. The Cruzer Slide, on the other hand, has a nice attachment ring. But it is much bigger than the Micro, meaning that many users will still opt for this one instead.
I make a point of obliterating the U3 software whenever I get a new drive. That way I don't have to worry about it loading itself every time I insert it. It just slows it down and I don't use those apps anyway.
Pros:
+ Great storage capacity in a brand that honors their warrantees
+ The case is small and attractive
+ The slide-back head means there is no cap to be lost
+ Nice color options for different tastes
+ Durable body and NAND memory stands up to a lot of abuse
+ Compatible with old and new Mac and PC Operating Systems (XP, Vista, OS X)
+ USB 2.0 connection is backwards compatible for older computers
+ Easy to format and enable encryption to protect your data
+ Prices are nice on a $ per gigabyte basis
Cons:
- Personally I'm not crazy about the U3 software on Sandisk USB drives
- The attachment slot is small and somewhat flimsy
- Not as easy to hook it on to things as the Cruzer Slide
- Still somewhat slow speed in copying large files, limited by USB transfer rate
Overall this is a great USB drive with good capacity. If you need something you can easy attach to key-chains and don't mind a slightly larger body, you may want to step up to the Cruzer Slide. If you want the smallest most stylish USB drive you can get, this is it.
Enjoy!
