 Excellent storage device April 28, 2008

One of the best usb storage device out there, fast files transfers, U3 tecnology is just awesome, recommended A++.
Great for international travel April 27, 2008
Sandisk updated their U3 since I first bought this and I find it is even better. Upgrade available at their website.
I mainly bought this so I could have a secure data storage while traveling internationally. What the U3 software offers is password protection of information on the drive plus Firefox browser, skype, email, etc. independent of what is on computers in internet cafes.
So I can save login information and passwords in Firefox, go to an internet cafe, and browse email or log into other websites without entering any passwords. No worry about key loggers or similar spyware. Also since Firefox is running off this drive and not the computer, it should be harder for other types of spyware to intercept information.
I have also used Skype off of it and was able to make calls while just paying for internet time. If necessary, I have Open Office on it so I can even edit Excel spreadsheets or Word documents right at the cafe and send right back.
One thing to note. Unless things have changed, the account on the computer was said to need administrator rights since it adds something to the registry like it would add for any new usb device.
However, in actual experience, even cafes that have software restricting installation or altering of the setup have not caused problems. The worst I have seen was one computer locked me out. But the attendant logged it back in and then I plugged in the drive again and it came up just fine. After that I tried the same computer a different day and it was fine.
The drive also works well for day to day syncing of computers although the built in syncing software is a little quirky. Best to just get a regular program for that.
Still works great after a year April 26, 2008
I've had a couple of these for over a year. I'd read the reviews first so I didn't expect too much from the software and I simply deleted it (easy to do) and ended up with more space. The flash drive is great and never fails me. I use one constantly between work and home. I still give it 5 stars despite not liking the software because it does exactly what I wanted it to do - saves several Gigs of data reliably and quickly and is small and goes anywhere with me.
SanDisk U3 Cruzer April 21, 2008
It can be a bit confusing for the uninitiated as inserting a U3 Cruzer creates to devices. One device is a virtual CD drive that contains the auto-launch code and the other is a removable disk that contains the storage area. This is not a problem but can be confusing so be aware that you will get 2 drives rather than one and only one of them is usable for storage purposes.
The only real issue with the device is that the U3 launcher won't start if you have turned off AutoStart. It can be started manually by double clicking the U3 launcher icon in the virtual CD folder that gets created by inserting the device.
Great value! Very handy April 12, 2008

Bought this for the U3 so I could run UltraEdit UE3 (not allowed to install it on work computer). Since then I've added PortableApps. They coexist quite nicely. There is still plenty of space left over to store my personal and work files - with 2GB to spare.
Now to load it up with anti-spyware software to fix a friend's computer.
A great deal for a 4GB drive!
