The good: Reliable fingerprint scanner; fast read speed; data encryption; network and Web site login.
The bad: Large, clumsy split design; security requires Windows computer; limited encryption features; blocks access to adjacent USB ports.
The bottom line: If you can get over this flash drive's odd split design, the SanDisk Cruzer Profile is a safe place to stash all sorts of data.

Summary: The reason why I bought this was so I can take my school files with me to school. My school has only has Macs, yet it still works for unencrypted files. What really bugged me was how Windows Internet Explorer 7(beta) was not compatible with the Sandisk Cruzer Profile... The only way for it to work is if you run it on Internet Explorer 6 or lower. There was no way for me to remove it or downgrade it to IE6, so my only option is to reformat my whole computer again... Anyway, overall it’s a great reliable fingerprint scanner. It only takes me one try to get it to recognize my finger.
