Digital camera reviews of SanDisk Cruzer Micro 4 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive SDCZ6-4096-A11
Digital camera Review: A versatile, reliable secure flash drive
Summary: 5 Stars
The 4 GB Cruzer is ideal for my purposes. Plenty of storage capacity plus it has optional password protection. But don't lose the password or else the entire contents of the drive must be erased to restore access.
A useful program that came with the Cruzer (Signup Shield Passwords) allows me to store user names, passwords and so forth. The pertinent info is then entered automatically when signing in to a particular website. The first 9-10 entries are free, and for a subscription fee of around $25 the program will store virtually all of one's passwords.
Digital camera Review: AND IT LOOKS GOOD TOO!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I found myself carrying 4 small flash drives in my pocket and decided it was time to get a single drive that would meet the bulk of my needs. THIS IS IT!!! At work I have XP Pro and at home and on my laptop I run VISTA. The U3 works seamlessly between the two operating systems. I appreciate the password protection since I keep school records on this drive. All of the trial software had pretty icons but all went away to free up usable space. I took the black clasp from a PNY neck strap and converted it into a nice key chain attachment so when the drive is not being used it makes a darn nice key fob too. I will probably buy another in the near furture for my wife. We both work in the same school system and work on the same server. Other reviews I read would lead one to believe this unit had some serious flaws. My opinion is they have some serious pickiness issues. The drive is as advertised and it performs extremely well.Digital camera Review: Absolutely Adequate
Summary: 3 Stars
About $20 is exactly the right price for this absolutely adequate USB key.
Pluses:
Solid keyring attachment
nice feel when closed
Minuses:
Somewhat insubstantial feel overall
easy to unlock when plugging in
kind of garish light
Digital camera Review: After dealing with U3 it does what it's suppose to.
Summary: 4 Stars
The drive is good; the retractable usb plug and key chain attachment is very convenient. The only reason why I wouldn't give this 5 stars is because of the stupid U3 software that comes with it. Fortunately SanDisk released a patch on their site that gets rid of this disgusting thing. I also heard reformatting the drive works too (just don't put anything in it yet).Digital camera Review: All Good
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
