SanDisk Cruzer Micro - USB flash drive - 2 GB > Reviews

Advantages: Hi-speed, handy size, great storage capaity + more
Disadvantages: Only works with Windows 2000 +

With ever increasing piles of work due in at college, my old and semi-broken 256MB flash drive wasn't living up to its requirements. In need of a much larger USB pen I hunted around for a good deal until I came across this little bargain. For around £10 this 2GB USB flash drive is capable of holding hundreds of music tracks, hundreds of documents and images as well as videos and other media files.

This great idea is fantastic if you work with multiple computers, ... Read review

Advantages: no cap, large sorage space, U3 software is useful
Disadvantages: U3 auto-installing may annoy some people

Firstly this USB drive is quite small, it looks good and as soon as you plug it in a big orange light starts up, it doesn’t have a cap (so you won't lose the cap!) and comes with a neck strap. The USB data transfer is quite fast, there is not much lag and the computer immediately picks up that the USB stick is plugged in. However as soon as you plug in the stick then it starts to install the U3 software on the PC, this could annoy some people ... Read review
