high speed and perfect size [Posted on 2008-04-25] Perfect size. Once you fill up this memory stick, you can burn a DVD to store the data.
Beautiful but F R A G I L E [Posted on 2008-04-27] Ok, you're perhaps thinking "How can something made of titanium, and having a crush resistance of +2000 lbs be fragile?"
It isn't physically. But it is highly fragile electrically. I have owned 4 of these stylish drives. It is THE most aesthetically beautiful flash drive ever produced. Each of the 4 I owned, except the first which I purchased, was a replacement from the company. The drive is extremely unstable, and will easily "fry." By that I mean that it will become absolutely useless, as in; won't format, wont be recognized by ANY computer, won't light up the "prettyblueblinkinlight," won't ANYTHING.
I am very careful with all technology, and I always "eject" my flash drives before removing them, even though technically you don't have to according to Microsoft (HAH!). Each of the 4 eventually did this resulting in frustration, and occasionally loss of the most recent changes to un-backed-up data (after all you can't back up a 4 GB drive each and every time you use it).
I sent the last one (which waited till it was out of warranty before it failed) back to SanDisk with a note about the new Dane I purchased to replace it. The Dane was far less expensive, almost as stylish, and far more stable. I have had it for some time now with no problems.
No more SanDisk products for me AT ALL, EVER!
fast, solid, ergonomic flash drive [Posted on 2008-04-29] I have it only for a week or so, but here are my observations.
Works well with Macbook, especially after I erased U3 from it - you need Windows for that, the virtual one running under VMWare works fine.
Drive is fast, tested by simply copying large file back and forth, observed about 12MB/s write speed and 28MB/s read speed.
My friend recently got flash drive made by other company, it is twice the capacity for the same price, but writing speed is truly disappointing at around 2MB/s. Also metal housing seems to serve better if one wants to wear drive on key ring.
Excellent thumb drive [Posted on 2008-05-05] The drive is very fast. The switch to move the connector out works very smoothly. Construction is very sturdy, highly recommend this device.
Very Handy [Posted on 2008-05-10] I love this Flash Drive. It works great with file transfers to my PS3 too.
I didn't like the free software on it but its easy to get rid of it.
