  Good drive - but...

  by aaronshalom on July 24, 2008

  Pros: I loved the retractable nature of this flash drive (after a couple of bad experiences with other drives). The U3 software made things slow with my older desktop, but was fine with my newer laptop.

  Cons: Unfortunately, this drive has now basically stopped working. I had about two weeks of slowdown, and now it simply will not be recognized by the computer.

  Summary: Overall, a nice drive, but beware.

  Great design, and not slow like other ratings!

  by ozzy1122335 on July 21, 2008

  Pros: Great and speedy, with a cool retractable feature. Stores a lot and is one of the best that I purchased.

  Cons: I bought one from Wal-Mart, and mine came from Best Buy. The one from Wal-Mart was bad, it had a broken USB Plug, and looked to be a return, but they wouldn’t return it. So don’t buy it from a Wal-Mar

  Summary: I have had flash drives break within the first month, but this was when they first came out. This happens to be the best.

  It would be a 10 if that U3 junk wasn't on there.

  by Dave31294-22198746584878817047 on March 22, 2008

  Pros: Fast after you remove U3, Nice Design, and Great Price

  Cons: Nearly impossible to remove U3

  Summary: I bought this and was unpleasantly surprised to find U3 on it. This is just a crappy version of PortableApps.com's suite. I tried to remove it, but it ...

  Summary: I bought this and was unpleasantly surprised to find U3 on it. This is just a crappy version of PortableApps.com's suite. I tried to remove it, but it wouldn't let me, so I got creative. First, I formatted the Cruzer. The program was still there, but the apps wouldn't load. This is good, not bad. I then uninstalled all of the apps. Errors came up, but they will completely uninstall on a reboot. Then I went to U3 settings and used the uninstall feature. Done. After that I installed PortableApps.com and the drive is great. Fast and reliable.

  by yprtb on March 9, 2008

  Pros: after formatting it as fat, this is a fast usb drive

  Cons: is slow when it is in fat32 format, need you to format it as fat to be a fast usb device

  Summary: great storage, fast device, cheap price. I like this drive!

  disappointed in SanDisk!

  by k2p2 on January 14, 2008

  Pros: retractable connector

  Cons: U3 won't uninstall even with help from SanDisk support

  Summary: The packaging doesn't give a clue that this device is anything but a flashdrive unless you already know what a U3 is. I just wanted another flashdrive, but got ...

  Summary: The packaging doesn't give a clue that this device is anything but a flashdrive unless you already know what a U3 is. I just wanted another flashdrive, but got surprised by software suddenly installing into my computer without my consent.
  I followed the instructions for removing the offending software from the flash drive without success (apparently, the files that go onto your hard drive, and some do, are there permanently). First, I tried (several times & on 2 of the 3 devices purchased), the Uninstall Button in "Settings" in the "Launchpad". No response. Then I went to the SanDisk website & downloaded their "launchpad removal tool" to my desktop. I tried 8 or 10 times to get the tool to even open before it finally did--once. When it opened, it gave an error message that the flashdrive needed to be inserted...but it already was. So I ejected it, intending to re-insert it to see if that helped. But as soon as it was ejected, the message changed & said there were too many flashdrives inserted! So, I closed the removal tool program and tried to re-open it and start again. But now it won't open at all.
  
  I called SanDisk. She had me re-download the removal tool, but she couldn't figure out how to get the program to start up either. Since it is "known that other USB devices interfere with this device", she had me unplug everything from my computer except the mouse, monitor and keyboard...still it wouldn't open. She then wanted me to download the U3 software from the SanDisk website onto my hard drive! At that point, I figured if she couldn't get their removal tool to work for the flashdrive, I sure didn't want to put the unwanted stuff on my hard drive! She said that having it on my hard drive would make the removal tool open and run and remove the U3 from the flashdrive. She made no promises about my hard drive.
  
  I'm taking this back to the store! I sure wouldn't feel right about using it to transfer files to another person's computer...and thereby installing something I didn't want onto their computer! I guess I'll have to just live with the scattered U3 files that I see sitting on my C drive in the WINDOWS folder and other places. I'll think twice before buying again from the once-trustworthy SanDisk.

  Gread drive

  by akira2 on November 29, 2007

  Pros: Looks good, retractable USB, large capacity, encryption.

  Cons: Nothing major that I can think of...

  Summary: I switched from a 512MB USB drive from four years ago to this, and although there was not much of a difference, (it is just an USB drive, after all)...

  Summary: I switched from a 512MB USB drive from four years ago to this, and although there was not much of a difference, (it is just an USB drive, after all)there were some pleasant features.
  The retractable port was nice, as there would be no more need for caps, and losing caps for that matter.
  Theres a keychain, apposed to the string and plastic connection that broke (accidentally) the month I got it.
  Furthermore, the size is smaller, making it much more portable.
  The encryption software got stronger over the years as well.
  
  The U3:
  I've heard and read lots of complaints about the software. I do not understand why.
  I believe it is a good and useful software.
  The only negative opinion I do have is that it is not practical.
  
  Overall, I believe it is a great Flash drive.

  Don't like the retracting

  by pamela on November 28, 2007

  Pros: Hasn't eaten any of my files (knock on wood)

  Cons: slider function

  Summary: Spend a little more on the stick that doesn't retract unless you have roomy space around your available USB slots. Otherwise plugging that sucker in flush against another USB ...

  Summary: Spend a little more on the stick that doesn't retract unless you have roomy space around your available USB slots. Otherwise plugging that sucker in flush against another USB cable while holding your finger on the slider and keeping it from retracting is nearly impossible. I suppose it isn't such a problem unplugging one to fit it in, then replugging the other, unless you're crawling under your desk...
  
  Also, unlike my other Sandisk sticks, this one prompts my computer to install driver software every time I plug it in.

  Great little flash drive, but u3 is crap.

  by Sgolub on September 23, 2007

  Pros: Small size, no cap, key ring.

  Cons: Doesn't feel very durable, u3 isn't great (but it's easily removed).

  Summary: All in all, it's a good, inexpensive flash drive. I found the pre-installed u3 program to be useless, but some may like it. Contrary to what has been posted, ...

  Summary: All in all, it's a good, inexpensive flash drive. I found the pre-installed u3 program to be useless, but some may like it. Contrary to what has been posted, it does not install ANYTHING on your PC, it runs independently off of the flash drive.

  Windows ready boost's best friend

  Summary: I was looking for a flash drive for Windows ready boost. I found the Sandisk cruzer Micro to be the cheapest(i found it for 20.00!), and to work great with ready boost! It comes preloaded with tons of security, photo, and game apps.Plus it has 2 GB of memory! But, it does have pretty slow file transfer with pictures and media. So, if you want a all-in-one flash drive for a cheap price, The Sandisk Cruzer Micro is for you!!!
