Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of SanDisk Cruzer Micro 8 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive SDCZ6-8192-A11
Customer Review: INCOMPATIBLE WITH MACINTOSH. If you read this, and buy it anyway, you WILL suffer needlessly, and I told you so.
Summary: 1 Stars
I own a nikon D90 and canon S90, so I've become quite familiar with sandisk SDHC cards. They're handy, durable little things, so I thought nothing about ordering one of their flash drives, the Sandisk Cruzer 8gb. I'm afraid that the whole ordeal has really, and I mean really, turned me off of Sandisk and their products.
The Cruzer has this thing installed on it, called U3 software, that kind of is a code of plain suck. I transfered photos from one comp to another, deleted them, went back for more, but it only had 1.46% capacity left. I went online, looked up forums, found that a lot of mac users suffer from the u3 software, that you can download a u3 uninstaller here, etc. I then installed the u3 uninstaller. This took an exorbitant amount of time for a 3.4MB program to run and do its dirty deed, and I was surprised that it spent 20 minutes backing up files somewhere, but where this somewhere was, it did not say. And no, it did not fix any problems.
Allow me to spin you a hypothetical story of what will happen when you buy this product. Let's say you're at full capacity, and you want to delete files on it. But they don't actually delete, and you after you scour the internet for half an hour, you realize it's because it backs up hidden copies of its contents to your trash can, and locks itself. This means that your 7.45gb capacity drive appears to have nothing on it, and yet it says you only have 109.4MB of memory left. So you empty the trash can, as instructed by the forums, because the actual website has no useful information. You can't see the progress of your deletion, which is taking an abnormally long time, so, completely helpless, you walk away. You return to your computer to find the drive unresponsive. You can't empty anything else on your hard drive, and you can't eject the flash drive, because the Sandisk Cruzer has hijacked your computer. Checking back on it every few minutes is the same letdown after another: no improvement. Even on the slowest of usb transfers, even usb 1.0, your 7.45 gb should have been deleted. Finally, you physically pull it out of the usb port, and it's dead (of course).
I absolutely hate this device. You might say "well you didn't eject the disk image properly, so of course it doesn't work!" Well, I don't think that a flash drive should hold your computer hostage for 85 minutes without giving you any feedback of writing or reading. In my mind, the Crapcruzer was dead as soon as the Sandisk numbskulls decided the U3 software would be a great idea. If you have a PC, you can do better. If you use a macintosh like I do, burn the darn thing, glue it to the appropriate spot on a photo of your butt, and mail it back in to them.
