Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of SanDisk Cruzer Micro 8 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive SDCZ6-8192-A11
Customer Review: Very pleased
Summary: 5 Stars
I have never used this kind or gadget before. It is right on the price and very easy to use. Reading Consumer reviews, it is important to have a cover and this one does.Besides, the USB connector is retractable, so I guess it adds a second layer of protection.
It's extremely small and portable. I had to change the hard drive of my computer so I needed a lot of memory to store all of my data and didn't wanted to spend too much for an external drive (I don't think I would use that too often and it takes a lot more space). It's large capacity allowed me to do this at a much lower price, plus the convenience of being so small.
When I transferred my data back into my new hard drive all the files I've checked so far were not corrupted.
I cannot compare this one to other flash drives for this is my first one, but I'm really satisfied. The price was the lowest I could find for this capacity, the size was the smallest and the capacity was really very high.
It took about 30 minutes to copy almost 8 GB, but as I said, I cannot compare with other flash drives, so I cannot say if this is slow or not.
Customer Review: Great item-not perfect, but I like it.
Summary: 4 Stars
I own about a dozen flash drives: Memorex, 128 and 256MB,which is my absoulte favorite but hard to acquire anymore, Kingston, etc. A few of them are this brand and type in different sizes. I like this one because of its portability-no cap to worry about, its durability-I've dropped it a few times on a hardwood floor and it took the drop without any problems. Most of them have been easy to install in my PC-physically the connector is stiff enough to just insert with just one hand. For some reason, the 8GB one I purchased, its connector is loose, and as a result requires two hands, one to plug the connector into the pc and the other to hold the drive still.
Other than this minor inconvenience, I love these drives. In fact, I'm back today to buy two more. In addition, to PC back up software and external hard drives, I like to keep these on hand to back up documents and software from each computer onto individual flash drives. No such thing as too many forms of back ups when dealing with computers. In fact, I know from experience that no one form of media storage is infalliable.
Customer Review: Just as Advertised
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very basic USB storage unit, so anyone who is looking at a possible purchase should go in knowing as much. That said, the drive is exactly as advertised and promoted on Amazon.
The lack of a cap for the drive is something which should be mentioned, but it also should be said that the part of the drive which makes a physical connection to the PC of external storage is also retractable and should be left that way when not in use.
The price was more than fair considering the amount of GB that this drive will hold (I paid 1.10 US dollars per GB as I bought this on one Amazon'a Daily Deals). The normal Amazon price is about 25 US dollars, but this is also somewhat beneficial as this also qualifies this item for free shipping.
The speed of this drive is good on the overall, and though I take very good care of my electronics, this unit does not seem to feel as if lacks durability.
For a small and basic USB storage drive, this price is hard to beat when compared to other prices for 8 GB worth of storage.
Customer Review: Handy for a great price
Summary: 5 Stars
I read a lot of the reviews before purchasing, but had already owned a smaller version of the same flash drive, so went ahead and bought it despite some of the more negative reviews. I use it at work, and any extra space the additional software takes up isn't an issue for me. I appreciate the easy-to-use security of password protection. (I know there are programs out there that can easily break passwords, but I generally leave it in my office locked up overnight. My real concern was staff being easily able to take a quick peek at confidential information if ever out of my possession.) Moving items to and from the drive to network, hard, or other flash drives is very quick and simple. If you aren't 'techy' and just need a mildly secure storage space apart from your network or hard drives, or just need more space period, then this is a reliable, inexpensive, and easy to use option. I recommend the SanDisk Cruzer- especially for the Amazon price. (This exact same item seems to run upwards of $50 on other sites for some reason.)Customer Review: Portable Memory that works as advertised.
Summary: 5 Stars
It's very nice when a product you order works just as well as you wanted it to. I've had the SanDisk Cruzer Micro 8gb drive for over 6 months and I have not had a single problem with it. Memory is memory and as long as it does its job, that's just fine in my book. In terms of portability, it's very portable. The only other important part to it is just how well it's constructed and the assurance that the flash memory is not going to get corrupted, but that would be the end user's responsibility. Returning to construction, there is no cap or anything that can be lost and I've (accidentally) dropped the drive on numerous occasions. It's still working just fine and I have absolutely no complaints about it. If you want an 8 gb flash drive, buy this product. It will not fail you. Also, I suggest uninstalling the U3 shovelware that comes with. It just makes the drive take longer before you can use it. But also allows you to play games or use applications straight from the U3 application. Useless to me but it does have its purposes.
