Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of SanDisk 2 GB Cruzer Titanium ( SDCZ7-2048-A10, Retail Package)
Customer Review: Thought it was durable, but has a major weak point!
Summary: 2 Stars
They say a chain is only as strong as it's weakest link, well I have discovered the flaw with this design which will ultimately lead to you loosing the entire device, especially if you carry it on your key chain. The top corner containing the post that the small guage key ring goes around tends to separate which lets the key ring slip off. Upon analysis of the separation, I found it to be poor workmanship and a weak design considering that corner is a stress point that should be reinforced and NOT separate! Also, the thin guage key ring that's around that corner post is not durable and tends to bend and separate which also allows the unit to easily slip off when attached to a key ring for your keys.
I like the metal casing and the pounds of force it can withstand, but the weak corner thing really blows it!
Customer Review: Warning: VIRAL software. Don't buy this device!
Summary: 1 Stars
While this could have been a good product, from a company I once considered a top supplier of Flash memory, MP3 players, and other products, this device includes U3 VIRAL software that takes over the host PC and forces itself into the system. The maker, Sandisk, claims that it can be removed, but that is a blatant lie. The software resides on an apparently permanent partition of the device, making the device a 1.9GB storage rather than the advertised 2GB. The accompanying software that is supposed to remove the U3 virus from the device does not even recognize that the device is attached, then fails to remove the offending virus. There is NO WAY to use the device as a normal flash drive.
Despite the previous dozens of Sandisk products I own and use, this is the LAST time I'll EVER buy a Sandisk product!
Customer Review: Good for those of us...
Summary: 5 Stars
... who are always dropping stuff.
I've had this flash drive for two months, and so far, it's been the best one I've come across. The titanium housing (with that nifty little cover to protect the one weak spot) has worked excellently. I dropped it, I stepped on it, my dog even grabbed it and ran off with it- and none of that has affected it one bit.
I'm not a big fan of the preinstalled u3 software, so I use a mixture of portable apps [...] and Thinstall programs.
The speed on this thing is great- it can open a 400MB file without any problems whatsoever. When booting an operating system from it, it does run a little slow, but that's to be expected.
While 2GB isn't the biggest drive, this one certainly is the best.
I would recommend this drive to anyone. Even the price was great!
Customer Review: A very solid thumb drive
Summary: 5 Stars
Although there's not much to say about any particular USB thumb drive, I can say that this one is my favorite so far. The titanium shell gives it a very durable feel. Some may complain about the slight heft to it, but I keep mine on my key chain so I want it to be able to take a beating. The fact that the need for a cap has been eliminated is a huge plus. I didn't care for the U3 feature so I removed it... no problems there.
Slightly off topic but relative to the manufacturer... I dropped my previous SanDisk drive into a river last year. It stayed submerged for at least 20 minutes before one of my buddies found it. It still worked when I got home that afternoon!
Bottom line, I love my 2GB Titanium SanDisk. Enough so that I bought a second one for my college-bound cousin.
Customer Review: A good one for the keyring
Summary: 5 Stars
For a while now, I've wanted to upgrade my Lexar 1GB JumpDrive that I carry on my key ring. After looking around, there are not that many options for that purpose. Most of the drives have lose-able caps and that's something that I didn't want.
I've only had this drive for a week or so and it's exceeded my expectations. It's very sturdy (see the review re run over by a car) and it's really quite fast. I'd bought another 2GB stick from another merchant and this one is noticeably faster...and faster than my Lexar, too. When they offer the 4GB in the titanium, I'll buy that one to replace this one.
Pros:
Sturdy
Fast
Nice aesthetics
Cons:
Price vs. other 2GB sticks out there (but in this case, you get what you pay for).
