SanDisk's 2GB Cruzer Slide - One of the better USB Drives, but step up to 8 GB April 22, 2008
12 out of 12 found this review helpful
This Cruzer Slide design has apparently been around for a while, but of course I tried every other one under the sun before even finding out about it. From the Kingston Data Traveler to the Sandisk Cruzer and Cruzer Micro to a bunch of other brands, I have had tons of these things. And this Slide design has a lot of positives.
This guy has 2, 4 and 8 GB sizes. 8GB is kind of the minimum size I would purchase at this point, since like I said I have a ton of smaller ones. This guy has a bigger case than I would like, especially with all the smaller drives out there now.
The attachment ring is really nice. It's big enough to easy hook it on to something. I really hate trying to attach my sticks to key rings with the really small holes that are on most drives. That's the main issue I have with the Kingston 8GB DataTraveler.
Like the Cruzer Micro you don't have to worry as much about losing the cover SanDisk 8 GB Cruzer Micro. There's still a chance of getting dust in it. Kingston also makes some retractable USB models as well, but in general I still prefer SanDisk.
Kingston DataTraveler 100 8 GB
Kingston DT100/8GB Data Traveler
Pros:
+ The attachment ring is great for easily hooking on to stuff - no fumbling with key rings
+ The slide-back top is also nicer than those on other thumb drives because it can't be lost
+ Nice capacity options offer good storage
+ 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
Cons:
- Personally I'm not crazy about the U3 software on Sandisk USB drives
- Bigger case than other drives
- Not as attractive as the Sandisk Cruzer Micro
- Still somewhat slow speed in copying large files, limited by USB transfer rate
- Prices are still relatively high for this drive
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, this is the one for you.
Enjoy!
