WARNING: Your data will be erased!!.......2007-12-29
Warning: Don't install the "update" because it will erase all of your data! I have been using the Cruzer thumb drive for some time. I have never liked it because it installs software on my computer without my permission (is that legal?). I usually have other copies of the data on my thumb drive, but recently a hard drive failed at work so I used my SanDisk thumb drive to back up some important data. Then today when I plugged the thumb drive into my desktop at home, I was prompted to update the software (called LaunchPad I think). I clicked OK. I was looking for some kind of warning to back up data or close all programs or whatever (as is standard). I didn't see any warnings -- just a license agreement. I clicked OK on the license agreement. It immediately started the "update," but the status said "formatting drive." I tried to not freak out. Surely they would not be deleting all of my data with no warning? Surely they could not be reformatting the drive? There is software on there! But when the "update" was complete, I checked and sure enough, the drive was entirely wiped clean! All my files, folders, programs -- everything. GONE! WITH NO WARNING! I couldn't believe it! Is it legal to do this? If it is, it shouldn't be! This is outrageous! I didn't have any other copy of a lot of that data! I called SanDisk, they immediately knew what I was talking about (I'm sure this is happening to lots of other people). They refused to take financial or legal responsibility for their actions. They didn't care about my lost data. No apology. All they would do is refer me to a company, LC Technologies, for data recovery. And get this, they are "partnering" with LC Technologies to offer a "discount" on data recovery. They even have a big link with a special discount code on the Support page for this thumb drive (but no warning about having your data hosed if you install the update). I'll bet you that they are getting a kickback from LC Technologies for sending so much business their way. How evil is that!?!? Not only is SanDisk deliberately deleting data, and not taking responsibility, they are benefitting from it financially at well! This is truly wrong, truly outrageous. I'm going to try to find a class action lawsuit to join.
PLEASE, do yourself a favor, DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!
Work-horse.......2007-12-18
For those new to U3 this chip is awesome. I can carry my applications and all my work on this chip and can work with it on virtually any PC. The password protection is especially good in case it gets lost or stollen.
Great Flash Drive.......2007-12-12
I really shopped online before settling on this drive. Its a great price for a good & large capacity drive. As a student I need plenty of capacity at a good price. Plus I always know I'm going to find a good price and can count on the good service here at Amazon.com. Thanks!
Works great also WITH VISTA.......2007-12-03
Only want to say that my SanDisk 4GB Cruzer (bought it today at Circuit City) is vista ready and works fine with it.
So, if you use Vista make sure you get a newer one. I think the solved the problems with Vista.
Also I don't have any problems with the U3. I think it's a real good feature.
Ready Boost works fine too!
As an addition: On my package there was a label calling "enhanced for Windows ReadyBoost"
So if you use Windows Vista make sure you got a drive with this label than you will have no problems.
A Waste Of Money.......2007-12-02
I bought this on sale at Best Buy for $30.00 The information on the disk made it seem as though you could use it for software on different computers. I bought it for my Hallmark card software. Simplicity? I think not. With 4 GB of space I was sure that the card software would work from this drive. NOT. It seems that only U3 programs work with this so called "travel disk". Wish I'd never wasted my money on it. I wish I would have known about the U3 issue. I thought it was a 4 GB drive that I could use with ANY software. It hangs up my brand new VISTA computers (desktop AND laptop.

SanDisk.......2007-12-29
Great product, and the transaction went down smoothly, got the product really quick
Thanks!
U3 not for me.......2007-12-27
I am a loyal SanDisk user, but the U3 software that comes on this drive isn't for me and I sent it back. To cumbersome, and even though I found instructions and download, I couldn't remove or disable the software. I like things simple, and his item didn't meet my needs and I sent it back. It is a fast drive, and I could transfer files quickly, but there is no need to add 3-4 mouse additional clicks to install or remove a drive.
SanDisk--please make a 2+ GB Flash drive without U3!

OK product.......2007-12-27
the flash memory itself seems to be OK, but than again there is no real way of telling in advance, since by definition flash memory is a very reliable product. the main differences between the manufacturers are the outer cover and/software. with this product, the plastic shell fills cheap, and retrospecting, I would have added the additional 7$ or so and get the titanium model. at least there is a 2 year warranty. the U3 software is really nice, and actually upgrades the unit from simple storage level to an almost portable PC. I only wish that there would be a free U3 anti virus. this is a basic tool on this kind of product (helping friends and family recovering their PC and so on). there is a free portable anti virus (clamshell), but it is not U3 compatible.
sandisk 4 gb cruzer micro.......2007-12-24
Great product, very portable and password protected. Many extra features such as games. Excellent for the price
Seems flimsy but works okay........2007-12-24
Pros--4gb gives lots of room, the u3 lets me run my bookcollector/libray software on multiple computers so I can track my many books at work and home, including those I lend to other folk. No cap to lose is great.
Cons--nothing serious so far. The thing's a bit flimsy feeling, but has not broken, seems to be mostly plastic, but oddly, that makes me treat it gently so I probably will not break it. No lanyard comes with it, but there's a ring to slip one through if you feel the need.
Overall, it's good enough that I'm considering getting the 8gb size soon.

Wish I could give it a zero.......2007-09-08
I have had two Sandisk Cruzer 4GB drives stop working. After the first one died, I was scrupulous about using Windows "stop/ safe eject" process, thinking I had caused the problem. But two giving out within a year can't be the result of the way I'm handling the drive. Both times, it stopped being recognized by Windows, or I got an error message saying the drive must be formatted, but it wouldn't install so that I could run it or format it. Avoid this one like the plague, and don't store anything on it that isn't backed up.
Can't go wrong with Sandisk.......2007-03-31
Excellent product, no problems. FYI, Macintosh users, the U3 is not for us and is an irritant as it shows up regardless and there does not appear to be a way to get rid of it. For that I give it 2 stars. Otherwise, it's A-OK.
I have had 2 of these die.......2007-01-08
the drives just sop working after a while. I have lost critical data twice with ths product. Avoid.
I love this drive -4GB for a great price.......2006-12-23
I love this microdrive. I have had at least 5 different sizes (and models) in the past and this is my favorite one.
SIZE: This is the biggest usb drive I have ever purchased. I was initially looking for a 1GB drive, but then I saw the price on this one. Wow, not bad at all. (I know that there is also an 8GB drive out there, but I think the price on that one is still realistically prohibitive). For 4GB, the price on this one is really good.
For reference to the size, realize that this drive is actually the same size as the regular iPod Nano. This means that there is finally a microdrive that can hold a lot of media. You can finally drag and drop entire playlists of songs, or tv shows, or movies on to this drive to take elsewhere. This was really nice when I wanted to bring over some iTunes TV shows to my friend's house, as this drive allowed me to port over a bunch without worrying about burning them onto CDs. (If I had tried that method, I would have needed 6 CDS, or more, so this drive was a great help.)
PRICE: The price is very, very, good. I know that it isn't sold directly from Amazon (so you pay shipping), but I had no problems with the third party vendor.
PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES: I really like the fact that there is no cap to lose. It is a very interesting design. You have a little thumb button, and if you press it in, and slide it away from the drive, the usb head pops out and locks in place. (When done, you slide the head back into the body of the drive).
Note: I have used this drive with both a mac (OS X) and a pc (Windows XP) and have had no problems with either. I have not timed the data throughput, as I dragged and dropped things onto the drive and then walked away, but I did not notice any unseemly delays with reading and writing to the drive.
I have no complaints with this drive so far. Assuming it lasts, there are only two things that I am concerned about.
First, the end of the drive is open (though the usb end is tucked away inside), so if you are going to carry it somewhere where it might get a LOT of dust, or any wetness, then you might opt for another drive (with a cap) to be safe.
Second, it IS possible that it may not last as long as a (normal) drive (with a cap) because of the movement that takes place every time you open and close it, but only time will tell. Also, if you drop it, I am betting it will rattle around (due to the movable parts) so it may be less durable than other drives if dropped again and again.
Very satisfied so far, and I think it makes a nice gift for less technologically oriented family members. (No more CDS to burn -just drag and drop!)
Good product.......2006-11-26
This drive has proven to be fast and the U3 software useful. I wish the case were a little more substantial, but the performance is good. I was able to write data at about 6 or 7 MB/sec and read it at over 20 MB/sec (Sorry I am not more exact, but this was timed using my watch).
