    I love flash drives, and this one is my favorite yet. I use external hard drives to back up all of my most valued data, but the flash drives are great for transporting data quickly and easily from one computer to another without wasting disks. A lot of the files I([...] are larger than some ISP's will allow, but that is no problem with a flash drive. When a file is too large to transmit, I loan flash drives to my friends to share data with them, and they love them, too. This is my largest flash drive to date and I love it. This is especially great when the data is just for preview purposes. You just can't beat it for size, reliability and portability. The price was great for the amount of space you get on this item.

    I have a Win 98SE system with a 1.1 USB hub (made by SIIG). I got all the usual errors that many are complaining about (Do you want to format, etc.). But this flash drive works fine when I attach it directly to my box via a USB cable. It also works fine on the Win2000 system I have at work. Therefore, if you are experiencing problems with this drive, don't try deleting things in the registry like SanDisk recommends; try hooking it up directly to your computer, or try a computer with a different operating system, to determine if the problem is with the flash drive or caused by something else. If the cause is not the flash drive, you'd be wasting your time trying to get a replacement.

    Amazon's site didn't mention it, but if you plan on using this drive with Win98SE, you will need to download a driver from SanDisk. I attribute my problem with the hub to a bug in the driver.

    Using USB 1.1 (all USB 2.0 devices are backwards compatible with USB 1.1), I was able to write an 11 MB file to the flash drive in 20 seconds. That is probably OK for USB 1.1; USB 2.0 should be much faster.

    Including the rebate, I spent $31 on this drive; quite a bargain. I am satsified with the product and am giving it a 4 star rating only because the driver should have been compatible with my USB hub.

    Seems like the min Cruzer was not so friendly with the Win 2000 since it worked only once with my PC with 2000 on it! In a second attempt to use this Cruzer, I got an error stating that 'Data is Invalid'. Else wise this device looks Cute... and works well with XP machines.

    I previously owned a flash disk that I kept on my key chain until the loop on the flash disk broke. Then the cap that protects the connector broke as well. The Cruzer flash disk solves both those problems: it comes with a strap that can hang around your neck (information is often too important to lose) and it also comes with extra caps. Nice design also. Comes with a secure locking software mechanism that I didn't follow. But great price for 256mB, nonetheless.

    I am very happy with my previous Sandisk purchases (flash cards and reader). But, NOT this ONE! I tried it under XP Home and XP Professional. In either case, only one USB port detected the flash drive and tried to install the driver. However, the installation can not be done completely and WINDOWS posted warning message such as " ....may not work properly"....
    I tried the Sandisk online FAQ logs and found some "fix" on the registry. But, the registry described in the fix can not be found. Only something with similar VID(Vendor ID?) exists on my PCs. They may have changed the driver or something. How can my two recently-bought P4 machines not working at the same time?
    I am returning this junk. I have another 64MB USB 2.0 flash drive from Vixxxn works great though.

    By today's standards, this 256 MB flash drive is a relic. Although it supports USB 2.0, the write speeds were are only okay if you're writing large files. It's horrible at writing many small files.

    The Cruzer Mini isn't very "mini" compared to more recent models, some of which are smaller than my thumbnail. On the bright side, that means it's a lot harder to lose. But the downside is that you have this huge "lever" hanging out of your USB port. Its plastic shell is acceptable, but it certainly isn't very rugged. My boss accidentally smashed one in his car door, and of course it was damaged beyond repair. (A few of us at the office each chipped in a couple bucks and gave him a tougher model with a titanium shell after that incident.)

    My biggest gripe, however, is that the cap is easy to lose--which I'm sure is the main reason why they include three caps in the package. And the more you remove and reattach the cap, the looser it gets over time. The lanyard is nice, but I've never really been one to wear a lanyard around my neck unless I'm at a conference. You certainly wouldn't want to attach this flash drive to your keys, because the little tab that's meant for the lanyard is just plastic and will break off in your pocket.

    All in all, it's okay compared to other models of the same vintage, but even back in 2004, there were other models that held up better on your keychain, were more compact, and didn't have such an easy-to-lose cap. Really the only thing this had going for it was that it was one of the cheapest flash drives you could get.
