Sandisk 8GB Cruzer Titanium USB 2.0 Flash Drive (SDCZ7-8192-A11, Retail Package)

This product is well worth the cost. It's housing assures you of it's soundness and ease of use of it's functional stability. The seller had the product to me in days proving to be very reliable.

I use it with the Vista backup, It's fast and dependable. Remember to to use the "Eject" button on the Cruzer utility to safely remove it.

I recently bought the 8gb Titanium Cruzer on Amazon after reading the warning on ebay that most of their larger flash drives are dysfunctional counterfeits. I bought my first flash drive on ebay from a Chinese vendor a couple of years ago. After a few uses it started smoking, got too hot to touch, and almost burned up a friend's Mac. I would therefor suggest buying only name brand memory. I would also buy only from legitimate vendors because there are counterfeit Cruzers out there. The new Titanium Cruzer from Amazon was recognized easily by my computer but three issues stand out. First, the lanyard attachment ring is small but at least it is metal; I was always nervous about the plastic ring breaking on my older drive. Second, I was disappointed that the USB connector is not protected from dirt and lint when it is retracted; it just slides up into the open sleeve. Finally - and I know this is picky - but the blue power light is so bright, and the strobing and flashing such a distraction, that I remove the drive from my USB port when it is not in use. I wish the light could be reprogrammed. Instead, I will probably resort to the old VCR trick and put a piece of tape over it.

Love it. Fast, nearly bulletproof.

It lives on my keychain and it is my backup for important files. I am never worried about a lost cap.

I had a lexar 360 - I gave it away after getting this.

The Sandisk 8GB Cruzer Titanium is a definite improvement over my little 2GB Micro, but the U3 software is still full of bugs and is very difficult to remove. With the U3 removal tool being Sandisk's number one download you would think they would have figured it out by now. On the positive side, the 6 months of fee online backup is a nice convenience, but after 6 months that there is a subscription fee to get your data (which incidentally is not encrypted). In hindsight, I should have spent a few extra dollars for the Cruzer Contour. It is much faster and comes with a lifetime warranty. However, the Cruzer Titanium gets an average score of 3 stars, 5 for quality and 1 for software design.
