 not ideal for laptops: annoying dimming in/out & blinking August 9, 2008
6 out of 11 found this review helpful
Got this 8GB Cruzer as an upgrade from my good, old, 1GB Cruzer. Same form factor, better speed, same annoying U3 (easier to remove this time).
Most annoyingly, the thing always has a "look-at-me and get distracted from your work" feature: it does not stop from either dimming in and out (when idle), or blinking (when accessing files on it).
Do not buy, unless you can plug it in an out of sight USB slot. If, like me, you use the slot on the side of the laptop, keep looking. I got an "off brand" one - same speed (measured by myself), no U3, no "look-at-me".
 Corrupted my important files!!! August 6, 2008
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
Arrrrgh!!! I hate this stupid thing! Several hours worth of work is gone forever because I saved it on my new SanDisk 8GB Micro drive. I used it for a month or so with no problem. Last week, I had my first corrupted file. Now I have dozens of corrupted files! Thankfully, I have a backup of most (but not all) of them. If I didn't have a backup, I'd just be out of luck. I will NEVER buy another SanDisk product. (And yes, I was always very careful to use either the Eject button in the Cruzer program or the Eject button in Windows beside the clock.)
Stopped working after 30 days. August 6, 2008

I was given this product as a birthday gift, so it wasn't possible to return it. The product worked well on my Mac and I used in on the PC's at school. I can still retrieve my data from the drive, but the problem is, that the drive is telling me that there is no more room left for anything else. This is remarkable, since all that I stored on the drive was about several dozen word documents over the course of 30 days. Every time I try to save something more to it, it tells me that there is either no room left, or that the drive is damaged. Trust me when I say that I took very good care of this flash drive, so the fact that it could be damaged is very strange to me. Now I have to buy a new drive, and I was looking forward to using this one for many years to come. How unfortunate. If anyone has any ideas as to how I should try to fix this problem, please leave me a comment below.
 Large Capacity With Flimsy Construction July 30, 2008
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I was disappointed when I received this product.
The pros are pretty obvious.
1. 8 GB's is ALOT of storage, plain and simple. It's very convenient to have access to literally all of my word files and a very significant chunk of my audio files on a device that barely weighs an ounce or two.
However, the cons are equally noticeable:
1. the construction is very flimsy. I have owned several small flash drives in the past, and they are very sturdily constructed. There's no flex at all in the casing of the drive. With the sandisk, you can easily flex and possibly crush the plastic casing with very little effort. It does not feel like it will hold up to the type of abuse normally encountered by keychain devies: being sat on, crammed into a pocket, dropped accidentally and repeatedly, etc. Treat this drive delicately.
2. transfer rates are not impressive. They will lag, even with usb 2, and are atrociously over usb 1. USB2 transfer are only acceptable. It's very slow at first, then speeds up a bit as the transfer is being completed. It's a very non-linear rate of transfer.
However, I bought this item for $30 total, and am happy with the storage capacity and portability at that price. Construction and overall speed are below par.
 Very Pleased July 26, 2008

My ScanDisk Cruzer works great. Has more features than I expected. Small and compact. I like the retractable feature - it protects the plug-in from damage. Best Price Too!
