 Durable, Portablable, Unbelieveable March 15, 2008

The Cruzer Titanium takes an everyday stick, and turns it into something that you don't have to replace every other week.
The Cruzer can take falls just fine, and best of all the U3 makes it so easy to keep my bookmarks, passwords, and favorite files with me all the time without having to email myself.
If you're old memory sticks break or fall apart, you need a Cruzer.
Classy February 27, 2008
Bought to replace an aging Verbatim flash drive, couldn't be more pleased. The retractable USB connector solves the problem of keeping track of a cap very elegantly. The U3 software is a definite bonus; I've already loaded it up with Opera & Thunderbird, so now I have my web browser & favorites list as well as the ability to quickly keep up with my e-mail wherever I go. Other software I've grabbed designed for U3 included FTP (FileZilla), Telnet (PuTTY), & Instant Messaging (Xfire) The drive is of course lightning quick for file transfers & random access. The paint job seems about average for flash drives so I expect to see signifigant wear & tear down the road, but because the logo is laser-etched it seems that will at least remain legible. :) [Keep in mind this is on my keychain and is thus constantly brushing up against other pointy metal objects]
Bottom Line: Highly recommended.

Sandisk + titanium + 4gigs = perfection!
Durability is what makes this flash special.

This is my second USB flash drive, the first being a 1GB I've outgrown, but will still use for unencrypted security.
What can I say, it does what it says on the box. Fast transfers. The U3 software installs without problem on a number of different computers running everything from Vista and XP to Windows2k. I can't say that for Lexar's JumpDrive software on my 3 year old USB flash drive.
The U3 software is slick and fast. I was skeptical of having applications installed on the Cruzer, but it makes it a lot easier than having the application installable on the drive and then installing on someone else's computer. This way, you have the app on the drive and run it and your files directly from the flash drive. Of course, we're not talking about MS Office, but rather more 'portable' type applications. OpenOffice is an option however. I have used Ilium's eWallet for storing account passwords for about 5 years. Having on the Cruzer and accessible all the time is great.
File transfers to/from the device are fast.
The construction is solid and the sliding USB connector moves freely, but stores away safely when you've got the Cruzer in your pocket. And, there's no cap to fall off and lose!
A few criticisms, although I can work around them:
1) The sync tool in U3 doesn't let you just sync your Outlook .pst file. Instead it wants to pull all your email messages out and file them separately and make you view the files in a built-in email application. While not bad if you want to take your full Outlook mailbox with you to work off of, if you wanted to just sync the .pst file for archiving purposes, you can't. You'll need to manually transfer outside of the U3 Sync.
But, the Sync tool does work very well for all other files. It also allows you to save a profile of file locations on both drives (hard drive and Cruzer) making future syncs a quick click away.
2) There is no way to have the security time out after a number of minutes of inactivity. The Lexar JumpDrive software does do this and it has helped ensure my mobile files weren't seen by others after it timed out after 5 or 10 minutes. This is probably the biggest flaw of the Cruzer, but easily fixed in a future software update... assuming they add the feature. The hassle of re-entering your password to access the drive after 10 minutes of inactivity is a very minor inconvenience compared to having someone gain access to sensitive files.
3) 4 GB fills up quickly once you decide you need a larger number of files to follow you around. OK, this is my problem and am anxiously awaiting a SanDisk 32GB or larger USB flash drive with U3. If you start to get into larger GB sizes, it makes the case for not carrying a laptop around any more-- as long as you have access to a computer on the other end.
You won't go wrong with the Cruzer.
 Great drive, with an experience ruined by crap software January 9, 2008

This SanDisk 4 GB Cruzer Titanium is a fine USB drive, and a good value;
but that value is heavily offset by the inclusion of the junk 'U3' software that comes pre-installed on the drive and cannot be removed by normal means. Every time you install this drive it puts an application on your task bar. If you delete the pre-installed junk by dragging it to the trash, it 'magically' (and annoyingly) re-appears, and runs, when you re-install the thumb drive. Total Crap! You have to download an uninstaller from the U3 website to get this crap off the drive (I assume by reformatting). Who knows what the installer really does? Who knows what's on there that the 'uninstaller' doesn't really remove?
Seems like a decent enough drive otherwise, but why buy from a company that insults and assaults you with junk software you don't want?
