Digital camera reviews of SanDisk Cruzer Micro 8 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive SDCZ6-8192-A11
Digital camera Review: Best software supported flash drive around
Summary: 5 Stars
This new cruzer with U3 software is great and effective. I downloaded a file sync software that that they offer for free and can sync files from work to home with great ease. I now own 3 of these.Digital camera Review: Better than I expected!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am very pleased with the 8G Cruzer. I have not had this brand before, and when I have used those owned by coworkers, I was not impressed. But this newer generation is excellent. Quick, smooth, and provides excellent extra swap space for my HP Mini which has half as much hard drive space as the Cruzer.Digital camera Review: Beware of crapware
Summary: 1 Stars
I use a Mac and must exchange files with PCs, so the procedure is to format a USB drive FAT32 on the Mac, which is then readable by both. Have done this many times with no problems. Not this time. First thing to know; this is not simply storage. When you plug it in to a Mac or a PC, either way, some crapware called U3 comes up. I never found out exactly what U3 is, since it is NOT described anywhere on the packaging, except that it's for Windows only in any case.
Next discovery; it refuses to be erased. Turns out the only way to remove this hard partition is to download a special app from the Sandisk website. I have to scour the internet to find this out; nothing about it in instructions. Download and install a special program just to reverse this unwanted and useless "extra," requires a restart, forty-five minutes wasted.
Now I'm ready to format the drive on Mac (following the instructions on Sandisk website). Format shows fine on Mac. Then carry it over to a PC. Nope, will NOT read it. So I try to format it directly on PC. But "format" command only will format 200MB of the 8GB! Why? And now there are two partitions, which I did not want. Perhaps Windows XP may not be able to format 8GB? After wasting almost 1.5 hours on all these problems, I give up. Returned the item.
What kind of idiot company puts a customer through this? Bought a generic 4GB USB drive from Radio Shack and it worked fine.
Digital camera Review: Blue Screen Issues
Summary: 1 Stars
After inserting the Cruzer Micro into my usb port it caused my computer to crash each time. I contacted SanDisk tech support with no improvement. I would get a blue screen and Windows would prompt me to remove this hardware.Digital camera Review: Body too wide for front slots
Summary: 2 Stars
The body of this drive prevents it from going into the front USB ports on two of my computers. I installed the software and it created two drive letters. One was a ghost and the other is the one that could be written to.
