Customer Review: Inexcusable file errors
Summary: 1 Stars
I used the red drive in this 3-pack that my friend bought. First, I should say that I used this drive on several computers - a PC running XP, a Mac Powerbook G4, and a bubble-type iMac G3 (both running OSX). With all 3 computers, the drive refused to "eject" - I would wait and wait, and it wouldn't respond. When I just pulled it out anyway, the computer warned me that because I pulled it out suddenly, it could create data errors. And sure enough, when I looked at the files again, all their dates had been rewritten to the last time I had used it. This was very frustrating considering I was working on several versions of written documents! When I would load these documents again (in OpenOffice or the Mac's similar NeoOffice, my word processors of choice), it would tell me that the data was corrupted, and ask me if I would like to attempt to restore the file. The file restorations have worked thus far, but it still scares me every time I encounter an old file that has been messed with.
In addition, it comes with the ULead program that wastes drive space and is almost impossible to erase.
I warn everybody in the market for a flash drive to avoid this one completely. I have a Kingston that was found on the floor, lost by some stranger, and works flawlessly.
Customer Review: U3 Launchpad Crashes My System
Summary: 2 Stars
I would have rated this as 5 Stars before it started crashing my system each time it is used on my HP desktop system with an Intel 6300 CPU running Windows XP Home, SP 2. It has crashed my system 5 consecutive times. It does run OK on my older laptop also running Windows XP Home (so I'll give it 2 stars). When the Cruzer is plugged in, the U3 Launchpad autoruns, the launcher shows in the lower right of the screen with the spinning indicator, after about 5 seconds my monitor goes dark, it then displays "Monitor going to sleep", and a few seconds later my system has a blue screen and is rebooting. The Windows information provided after the Error Report is sent is that there was a driver conflict that caused Windows to Stop. I also have an external USB hard drive which could be causing conflicting drivers but it runs an automated back-up each night with no problem. SanDisk help responded that I should contact HP.Customer Review: Love this 3 pack of Flash Drives
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought these in February of 2009. Running Windows XP Professional on my 2005 Dell Desktop and XP Home Media edition on my 2007 Dell Insprion laptop . Have no clue as to what a U3 is or what it's for. I plug mine in and it shows my files. It does show U3 with RESTOREU3 under it. What happened or why it doesn't launch I haven't a clue. I dont remember doing anyting with it.
Anyway, all 3 work flawlessly and hold a lot of data. Easy to carry, like that the tip can be retracted into the body. I keep important documents on 1, photos on another and video's on the thrid. I'm going to have to get some larger capacity drives in order to store banking records and income tax data in my safety deposit box. Much easier than burning CD's.
Customer Review: Sneaker Net at its best
Summary: 4 Stars
For anyone doing presentations on client equipment or moving data where nets don't go, the "geek stick" is an essential tool. The Sandisk Cruzer series has been the best I've seen lately; no caps to lose; access lights; easily fits a keychain or a pocket. The included U3 bloatware is a bit of an annoyance, but it is easily removed (and I highly recommend you remove it) to gain the full capacity of the chip without leaving fingerprints on the presentation PC.Customer Review: Cruizer 2GB flash
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased two packages of 3 each, 2GB flashdrive. I will be using to transfer information to others that will be taking over the duties that I will be vacating in my retirement. I found them a little difficult understanding the preparation for receiving date but once that was acheived, I find the very easy to use and the security of password protection a great feature. The price is also very-very good.
