 Not for carrying in pocket |

I'm work for an insurance agency in the IT Department and bought this drive soon after graduating. It lasted for 3-4 years in my pocket, but then stopped registering on any computer I plugged it into. I'm guessing the connectors eventually wiggled loose. I did use it pretty constantly during those 3 years, but I'd like a drive that lasts a bit longer. Luckily I did weekly backups of the data that was on the drive, so I didn't lose much. If you're going to use the San disk drives, I recommend removing the U3 product as soon as you get it. There are other products that will serve the same purpose and won't install on your computer or erase your data. [...] is one that I use on a daily basis.
Form factor is ok at best. When plugging the drive into the machine, make sure your fingers are on the side. If you accidentally press the button while inserting the drive will just slide back into the casing. A slight annoyance, but not what you want when time is key. |

| It is a great Storage Item. The only thing I did not like was that the shipping was way over priced. I bought Three of them and the shipping caused the price to be Double the price of the SanDisk Cruzer. For that reason I would never buy more then one of any Item.They were all shipped in the same package and I feel the price they charged for shipping was a ripoff. |

Another review in the 5 star category. I got this used on Amazon. As soon as I got it I took off the u3 software (and formatted the drive): extremely easy and quick. I've been using this every single day for almost a year now with not a single problem. I transfer files between my Mac and a windows machine with no trouble at all.
I run a website server off this (xampplite with apache + mysql), so I can work on my sites from whichever computer I'm at. The data transfer rate is plenty fast for constant refreshing of a webpage which is stored on the flash drive; I've never felt bogged down. When I'm on windows, I even have the write-cache properties set for instant removal of the drive (which slows down in-out data, but lets you pull the flash drive out without clicking all those stupid little bubbles), and I've still never felt it was too slow.
Initially I worried that the drive would physically break because every time you want to use it you have to slide it in and out. But it's held up extremely well. If I upgrade, the first thing I'll look at will be at another sandisk cruzer micro. |

| This is just a normal flash drive. It comes with the U3 software on its own partition, which is useful, but it does not work on a mac. Unless you reformat the disk from scratch, it will recreate the five or six folders it comes preinstalled with, even if you don't want them. Also, this is a high power USB device. It does not work on low power docking stations, like the Mac aluminum keyboard. The slider hold fairly well, but the head will often retract if you don't push it out enough. It is also a bit "chunky". Okay for general use. |
