Customer Review: Overall a good buy
Summary: 4 Stars
I was given a USB flash drive from my company earlier this year. It was a generic 128-megabyte drive with my company's logo on it. It was an admirable performer considering it was probably a bottom of the line drive.
In more recent months I began to outgrow my generic drive. I run several programs directly from my drive including: a web browser, email client, and instant messaging program. I decided to purchase a new flash drive hoping for something with a larger capacity and possibly faster read/write time.
The SanDisk Cruzer Micro has so far met my expectations. It was already formatted right out of the box, which was nice. It came with a neck strap that attaches to the drive with a small ring (like the one you use your for your keys). I found it mildly annoying attaching it due to its small size. The strap itself is not exactly fashionable and I don't really have any need to walk around with the drive around my neck, although I do find myself doing that just because it's there. The part of the drive where it connects to the strap glows green when the unit is active. It was cool for about a whole minute when I first connected it but has since become ordinary.
It comes with three "skins" which are plastic coverings in clear, red, and blue. Personally I don't see much need for three of them but if you want to accessorize then be my guest. I walked out into the rain with the drive around my neck. The covering looked secure enough where I didn't feel the rain would really pose a threat. After more than a few raindrops on the device it seems to be perfectly fine.
There are some included programs on the drive which got me kind of excited. One called CruzerSync was only a 30 day trial so I didn't even bother with it. Another one called Cruzer PocketCache was also just an evaluation version which turned me off. The last program was called CruzerLock. This one was not a trial but a feature-reduced version. However it was completely functional. This program allows you to encrypt files on your drive that can only be accessed via the CruzerLock software with a username and password. It's simple and easy to use, no frills, and gets the job done. I normally don't worry about protecting my data but the software was simple enough where I thought, "why not?"
Performance wise the Cruzer Micro was superior to my generic drive (which is not really a surprise). I was hoping for even better performance but I can't complain. My Firefox web browser loads up in about 5 seconds when run from the drive and browsing works just as well off my flash drive as it would from my hard disk. Small document files around a few megabytes transfer very quickly.
So overall I am going to give the SanDisk Cruzer Micro a nod of approval. I would have liked it if they included only full versions of their software on the drive. But as far as the device itself goes, I cannot give it any low marks. You can buy this device and not worry about your purchase.
