-Readyboost Review- [Posted on 2008-05-27]
I can not comment on the storage features of this flash drive since I intend on only using its readyboost function with windows vista.
Pros:
-Noticeable performance improvement (Vista boot-time, and with video encoding, etc.)
-Capless design (retractable slide button)
Cons:
-Formatted size actually only 3.7 gb
-Orange light flashes when active (Novelty wears off quickly)
-Cheap plastic (Cheap price, so not a big deal)
Overall:
I recommend picking one up, it provides a cheap boost to your vista pc, with little effort, and can be switched with multiple computers. By the way, I tested it with an Acer AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ desktop.
Reliable And Useful [Posted on 2008-05-30]
4GB of memory is great. The U3 software is actually really cool and even if you don't like it you shouldn't have a problem removing it, provided you're not stupid enough to forget to check the manufacturer's website. Just to clear things up, U3 is not installed on your hard drive. I repeat: U3 IS NOT INSTALLED ON YOUR HARD DRIVE. Stop complaining about the flash drive installing software on your computer without permission. The program runs off the flash drive so you will not be able to remove it in the "Add/Remove Programs" tool of your PC. Go to U3.com if you want to have it removed. To wrap things up, this flash drive is cool, cheap, and is useful if you want to carry Firefox or other useful programs around without leaving a trace on the computer you're working from.
Nice USB for transfering files between home and the office. [Posted on 2008-06-22]
This USB is a good choice for the capacity and the money for transfering files between home and the office. The plastic seems to be weak but so far it has been working well enough.

This product has work perfect for me and I reccommend it to everyone that needs a good source of audio/video/pics space for your PC, MAC etc.
It was an extremely trying experience... [Posted on 2008-09-23]
I bought this to replace and supplement another drive. I was impressed with the price and had been told that SanDisk is an excellent manufacturer. I moved stuff from an older 1 GB Lexar onto the 4GB and continued to add new documents to it. It worked fine the first few days and then it started showing errors that files couldn't be opened and after many fights and several people from ITS looking it over I essentially lost those files. As a second semester full-time senior in college who also works 16-32 hours a week, I did NOT need another stress factor in my life nor did I really have the time to go back and redo those assignments. So on the whole I only lost three nights of sleep as I stayed up to redo work, $20.00, and some better versions of the original items I had created. I'm still trying to remain Stoic about the whole situation when all I really want to do is scream, rail, and curse the makers of SanDisk.
