 Best bang for your bucks with a minor flaw. March 6, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The price of this drive is unbeatable. The hardware is good. I've been using it for 3 months since December 2007 without any problem. There are somethings you should know to make it work well.
1. DO NOT USE the free encryption software called U3 that comes with it.
Some people posted on Amazon that their data was wiped out without warning after they updated this software by clicking "Yes" when prompted.
As for me, uninstalled U3 by following the link in the sofware and visited the site at http://www.sandisk.com/Retail/Default.aspx?CatID=1415. After that I use PGP to encrypt my files. The free version of PGP does not work with Vista but I'm using XP.
2. I like the extractable jack because it replaces the cap. That means I'll never lose the cap again! In the past I lost 2 caps of 2 other usb flash drives. However this design leaves a gap on the body of the drive after the cap is extracted into the body. There is a possibility that rain can get into the drive through this slit.
SanDisk 4 Gb Cruzer Micro USB Drive March 1, 2008
I purchased this product and it has been fantastic. No problems at all and relatively easy to use.
 Simply EVIL! February 28, 2008

The appliance comes with evil, unwanted, non-uninstallable software. Here is what it does:
1. Installs itself on your system without asking your permission first. It puts an icon in your tray. It pops up a window suggesting more software you can get.
2. It claims you can unstall the adware, but the uninstaller does not work. If you delete all the files, they magically reappear every time you put the device in the port. (This is a SPYWARE technique, and it is EVIL.)
3. An uninstaller downloaded from the SanDisk web site similarly does not work. Perhaps it works on some systems, but it did not work on mine.
4. It accesses the internet. My firewall stopped it, but the question is, WHY would any flash drive try to access the web? I have confidential data. I do NOT want my flash drive giving ANY information to any other source. Again, this is a typical spyware activity.
5. No privacy statement. No license agreement. No documenation warning you that unwanted software will be installed. No information about the installation, such as what registry keys were added, or where hidden files reside. I could be carrying artifacts of this device on my system for years, and I wouldn't even know it.
Although I can not technically call this software spyware, I can call it frustrating, aggravating, and EVIL. It wasted my time not only researching this nasty behavior and how to clean up my system after this appliance touched it, but also the time it takes to return this evil device to the vendor.
Frustrations, Freezes, Reboots, and Pain February 21, 2008
23 out of 31 found this review helpful
All of the folks complaining of system freezes and reboots when using this drive are true. It seems to be erratic though so some users have no issues. I have 4 PC's and 2 Mac's in the house. This drive works fine on both mac's and 1 of the PC's. The other 3 PC's barf when the drive is inserted and just reboot themselves. It's the U3 software that causes the problems. I have several other flash drives and they all work fine on all machines. Risk it if you want, but there are better, cheaper, faster drives that won't give you headaches like this one. Sandisk just lost a customer and is now on my list of companies that owe me a few hours of my life back.
 Great drive and great bargain February 20, 2008

I've had the drive for a week and it was a great bargain for 4gbs. I have 3 other flash drives that together don't equal the value and space found on this drive. The light indicator and retraction are great added benefits. U3 is awesome technology. Carry your software, now thats really mobile!!
