You Can't Go Wrong with the SanDisk Cruzer Line for Dependability and Value

You Can't Go Wrong with the SanDisk Cruzer Line for Dependability and Value
I've used a number of thumb drives over the years. SanDisk Cruzers have always been in my list of go-to drives for design and dependability. When my 6-year old 16GB Cruzer was no longer big enough to hold all my portable apps and music, I knew I had to turn to another Cruzer for the same performance and guaranteed life expectancy. Why Cruzers, you might ask. Well, my 16GB went through the wash a number of times and still worked after allowing it to dry out before using it. I also lost it in my garden while I was weeding the garden in the Fall. When planting in the Spring, I found the drive in the dirt. I cleaned it off with rubbing alcohol and let it dry out. After snow, rain, frost, thaw, etc., the darn thing still chugged along after I plugged it in. At that point, for me, I was sold on Cruzers for life.Admittedly, for me, transfer speeds aren't a major concern. I only use the drives for portable apps and music storage. Except for work laptops, which are newer but require encrypted devices, I use a much older Toshiba that has USB 2.0 jacks on it and have a Toyota Tacoma in which I use the drive to play music. So, 3.0 transfer speeds mean little to me and this 2.0 would work quite well. You have the option to download for free and use SanDisk's encryption software. I don't keep sensitive software on portable devices. So, I didn't have a need for it. I also reformat my drives, wiping them completely clean before using them. So, I don't use any pre-installed software, etc.The housing on this Cruzer is made of a thick plastic, quite substantial, but neither bulky nor heavy. The thing I really like about Cruzers is how the USB insert slides back in the housing to protect it; and, there is a built-in LED light that shows when the Cruzer is transferring data. The Cruzer has a small metal rod built into the housing, which would allow you to put a lanyard on it if desired. My one gripe about new Cruzers, and the reason for a four-star vs. a five, is that they no longer come with lanyards. Even cheaper drives come with lanyards. Cruzers should too, as the lanyard would allow you to attach the drive to your keys.Final Verdict: For dependability and endurance, I have no problems recommending the SanDisk Cruzer line of thumb drives. If this is anything like my old one, it'll give me (and you) years of life and data backup. If I have a reason to change my review, I'll do so ASAP. 'Til then, happy transferring.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent high-capacity backup at a reasonable price
Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2015
Size: 32 GBStyle: CruzerProduct Packaging: Frustration-Free PackagingVerified Purchase
I love the concept of these high-capacity flash drives. I am a photographer and it's not unusual for me to shoot 5-10 gigs of photos in one day. To manage this kind of output I have to use traditional hard drives, but I have grown to not trust them. I have had no less than six traditional drives go belly up and nothing is more frustrating that seeing 100,000 images go up in smoke. Most of these images, of course, are backed up on other drives and on DVD, but it's still cumbersome and dvds, with only 4.7 gigs of useable space are tedious and take up a lot of space (and who knows how long they will last).

I can't afford to back up everything on these flash/thumb drives but I can back up important folders (one 32 gig drive holds the equivalent of around seven dvds) and they take up almost no room. Because they have no moving parts, I trust them more than a tradition drive with many moving parts. Also, because they are so small, I can backup an important shoot and then leave it offsite (or even mail it to a friend) for safety. And when traveling now, I backup everything to these little drives in the hotel at night and Fedex them home to myself every few days. I love knowing my images are safe and in multiple locations.

As capacity increases and price drops, I think these small drives will become much more popular. I'm a total fan.

Never used one before,just download a movie,tv show,anything and plug int tv or dvd or anything with usb port and plays perfectly thru my large screen tv. you have to watch the sound though if you are using an amp and plug into tv you will only get sound out of tv and not amp unless you are one of those who doesn't realize that no tvs ,even the 60in plasma which says they went to passing a digital signal thru tv and out on a toslink connector really still has pcm converter in set where it and all other tvs only put out 2 channel and I find it hard to believe no one has figured it out yet. I talked to top engineer at Panasonic since I am a eng. for IBM and they didn't believe me and tried to do it himself and then he agreed with me, everyone is just taking 2 ch and running those thru all spks and people think that they have thru 5.1 because of hdmi cables.not true,only way to get true 5.1 is to by pass tv completely and run device straight to your amp and let it decode the 5.1 and if you don't have hdmi on your amp which many of us don't you have to use the optical and coaxial inputs separate from tv because anything ran thru the hdmi on top on set kills the audio,which in video is almost same as component so you might as well not be using HDMI,made use all out to be fools, so I buy these and plug into dvd usb which is easier than making a disk and willhold many times more movies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reliable and lots of room for daily backups
Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2014
Size: 16 GBStyle: Flash DriveProduct Packaging: Frustration-Free PackagingVerified Purchase
I use a WD external hard drive to back up any data that might have changed on my home/ business PC each month. But for daily backups I had been using a 2 GB SanDisk flash drive for the past decade. I will quick reformat the flash drive after the monthly backup on the external hard drive, so the 2GB flash drive was usually plenty large to hold all of my daily backups between my monthly backups. But there had been a few times when it would get full. Then recently it froze up on me. I did a full format and that got it working again, but still, I figured it was time for a new drive.

Since my old SanDisk flash drive lasted a decade even with daily use, I figured I'd get another SanDisk drive. I was pleased to see
I could get a 16 GB flash drive for less than I had paid for my 2GB drive a decade ago. I doubt I will ever use that much space between my monthly backups, so I ordered it. I got it two days later (Amazon Prime). I plugged it in; it took a few seconds to load the driver, and then it worked. I have been using it daily for about three weeks now with no problems whatsoever. So I am giving this drive five stars, with the stipulation that I am assuming it will last as long as my old SanDisk drive did.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice construction and price but very slow performance.
Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2014
Size: 16 GBStyle: Flash DriveProduct Packaging: Frustration-Free PackagingVerified Purchase
I purchased this drive to replace a older SanDisk 8 GB flash drive that was just becoming too small to hold data I frequently carry with me. I like the case construction SanDisk uses with the slide out USB connector which eliminates the need for a cap which is easy to lose, and I appreciate the fact SanDisk uses a LED light which is placed beneath the red thumb slider, it's bright enough to let you know the device is active, but it is not blinding as the LED lights some manufacturers put on devices which can be obnoxious. For the space you get at this quality it's a great deal.

The only problem with this device is it's terribly slow. In fact it's much slower than my old SanDisk 8 GB which I purchased several years ago, and you'd think that with modern technology flash memory this would be faster but it's quite the opposite. After receiving it I copied about 10 GB of data which mostly large files, and it took over half an hour to copy the data to the drive, it averaged around 6 megabytes per second which is woefully slow. Small files are even worse being written to the drive, if you had to fill this thumb drive full of files expect it to take about an hour. Read speeds are much faster as is usually the case, but had I known how slow it was to write to the drive I probably would have picked a different drive.

Size: 32 GBStyle: CruzerProduct Packaging: Frustration-Free PackagingVerified Purchase
This USB 2.0 drive is a little bit slower than a medium or good USB 3.0 drive, but I have a hunch they're less finnicky at connecting. I've had problems in the past getting USB 3.0 drives to connect to USB ports. This drive writes at about 9MB per second which is fast enough if you're only dealing with a few movies or something. It can be slow to transfer large amounts, but it works really good. It has a red LED light under the red slider switch that flashes when connected and shows that it's getting input. Good for the price.

I got 4 of these and I am very happy with them. They are well built and their performance good. I used 2 of them as gifts (they make great stocking stuffers). Their best use is for shuttling a collection of frequently used files from computer to computer. For larger capacities, I would go to a USB 3.0 drive, since filling a 16 GB stick can take quite a while.
Note that they come formatted FAT32, so the largest file size they will hold is just under 4GB. If you format them NTFS, this size limit no longer applies.

It works well. It's the right speed for USB 2.0, and it doesn't corrupt files like generic ones tend to do. The quality of the thumb drive itself isn't too bad either. I like how the USB plug slides in and out to protect it for when you're not using it. The LED light fades on and off when it's idle and I could do without that, but that's not a big deal.
