Digital camera reviews of SanDisk 4 GB Cruzer Micro with U3 ( SDCZ6-4096-A11, Retail Package)
Digital camera Review: I am taking mine back.
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought two of these flash drives in the simple hope and expectation of unloading from my computer files like photos, correspondence, recipes -- stuff that I do not access often.
The drives both connected ok the first time on the USB hub for my home computer. My work computer (which is WAY more sophisticated than my home laptop) did not detect either of them AT ALL. At work, I got no response whatsoever, and the second time I tried them at home, I got a blinking light and an error message.
I have wasted four to six evenings of my short, nonworking life, online, searching for solutions to the problem when I could have been pursuing a hundred or so other and more productive and/or more entertaining activities.
But I found a solution: take the SanDisk drives back to the store tomorrow, get my money back, AND although I have purchased a lot of SanDisk products to great satisfaction, don't buy SanDisk -- at least not until it has proved itself again.
Re the USB3, I didn't like the extra software issues. First, all I wanted was a flashdrive and the packaging did not make it clear that this drive included a lot more than an ability to remember.
Second, I really hated the fact that the computers didn't detect the drives. What is the point of having a flash drive if no one and nothing but you knows it is there? I think that the retractable USB connector maybe isn't a stable, viable design. Go out and buy one and plug it in (very tight fit), then take it out and try wiggling the connection and you feel will how loose it is.
Third, when I put it in the USB hub, I got a variety of colors. Steady strong orange indicates a good connection. In my case, I had/have mostly flashing colors -- telling me that the unit is not connected, but is at least, detected. I had an alternately fading and brightening orange, presumably telling me that it is "sorta" connected but fading like the toner in the photocopy machine before it totally blanks out..
I cannot blame my USB hub because this has never, ever been an issue with my other connections and yes, I checked the lights for the other connections, all of which are strong and steady.
This Sandisk device seems to be poorly designed for the purposes for which it was intended. I tried but I am throwing in the towel
Anyone who has a recommendation for an alterate choice, respond ASAP.
