Is anyone concerned about data transfer speed?.......2007-05-09

I use a flash drive to move my Quickbooks program from home to work and back. It is a very large file - 79 Mb's with many tens of thousands of transactions.
I can tell you that the data transfer rate of the cruzer 1.0, which is what I am currently using, is so slow that it makes the program impossible to use. I basically have to download the entire file to my hard drive to do any postings, and then re-save it to the flash drive.
In researching to find a faster drive, I find that only Kingston and Memorex post their data transfer rates under technical data. The rest seem to think that "Modern slim design" is a technical feature.
I am going to order the Kingston Data Traveler as its transfer rates are 6.0 mb read, and 3.0 mb write. I really don't know if this is fast or slow, but in the absence of all the other brands leaving out this information, I am going to assume it is fast, and hope for the best.

How can you screw up such a simple item...........2007-04-14

I have a mac and bought this item to have 4GB of space for various uses. Instead I get some unnecessary U3 System disc popping up on my desktop, which can't be removed. The package says it's Mac OS X compatible, but after buying it (based on the packaging), I see on the website that it's listed as NOT compatible with Mac.

This product should have been an easy slam dunk for Sandisk. Instead they screwed up royally.

JunkDrive.......2007-04-06

Ok, I can accept that as a Mac user I am in the minority of Americans, but then, that is one reason I like Mac. What I do not like is being forced to use a PC to eliminate a useless program on the Cruzer. It would be extremely easy for SanDisc to enclose a 'removeal tool" for Macs. They could even put one on their website.

I will never again by a SanDisk product. I recommend that Mac users buy something else, anything else, than put up with this type of disrespect.

Neat design, better without U3 software.......2007-04-01

I have been looking for a flash drive that does not use a cap, and this drive is just what I want. But the annoying U3 lanchpad is really a turn-off. I'm glad to find out that I can remove U3 software from the drive. For those who are not aware of this removal tool, search for "remove U3 software" from google, you will find plenty of links. I recommend using the tool from sandisk.com or u3.com. Once the software is removed, this drive is a nice tool to use. I like the retractable case. I have seen so many flash drives with lost cap so this one is a solution.

I do not need U3 software but I have to objection to it IF it does not automatically intall the application, and load a launchpad everytime I plug in the drive. The purpose of using a flash drive is to have a quick transfer of data from PC to PC. Having to wait for the drive to load the launchpad every time it is plugged in is a pain in the neck and defeating the purpose of a quick transfer time. If you use this drive on your friends' PC, they will be alert when they see something is intalled without their authorization, the next time around they may politely refuse to let you plug in the drive. Also, my firewall alerted me that some program from the drive is trying to access the Internet. I don't know what this program tries to access the Internet for. I know many companies are trying to collect data from PC users whenever they can and it significantly increases the traffic.

After removing the U3 software, I have a perfect tool. I would rate it 5 stars but I take away 2 stars because of the U3 software.

Computer still stores activity.....................2007-03-22

The product "claims" that when you remove the thumb drive from the computer, all activity that was done using the U3 technology is wiped off of the computer, as if there was no trace of any of that activity. THIS IS NOT TRUE!!!! I bought this for that "claimed" feature/security. After the first use, I asked one of the IT guys to check my computer, they can dig deeper into the computer than the normal joe. Needless to say, when I searched, there was nothing, but when they worked their magic, they came up with plenty of activity from this drive. If this is the reason your buying, know that no matter what you do, someone can find it, reguardless of the claim.
