...one of which is the Sandisk Cruzer Micro with 4 GB of memory.
==** TECHNICAL BITS…==
* Operating system required… Microsoft Windows XP/2000 (SP4), Vista and Mac X10.1.2 or later.
* Windows ready * Device storage sizes vary
* U3 software included. (see below)
* Approximate size is 20mm wide, 57mm long and 8mm thickness
* Approximate weight is 60 grams ** It’s read and write speed is fast enough to transfer data without pulling your hair out ... ...want it too.
The sandisk can be bought so cheaply, prices varying but for a 4GB unit from amazon will set you back just under a tenner, (a 16 GB device is around the £16 mark), although I do advise shopping around for the best deal. And for this price you can store a vast amount of information in formats such as WAV, MP3, MP4 and AVI, easily transferring from PC to PC…

Advantages: Small but good staorage Disadvantages: Packet difficult to open
Big might be beautiful, but tiny can be tremendous! We have been on a Norwegian cruise and have taken lots of photographs which I wanted to show my friend. I have to admit having a digital camera is useful but not having hard copies of photos sometimes is a disadvantage. I was wondering about copying onto a CD but my husband suggested I used one of his memory sticks.

It seems such a simple idea I wonder why they are still not more popular. I much prefer this ...

...feel as much as quality. Sandisk are a quality brand and you should be getting a decent product. The hardware side of it certainly seems to be, it's just a letdown with the software. For my uses I'd rather stick with my Corsair Flash Voyager or my Kingston Data Traveller than deal with the darn software on this device. Apart from the U3 though, this is a good stick. ...

Firstly the size, 4GB, is amazing for a USB stick. This suits me fine and I can keep a back up of photos and videos, and well as being able to carry documents about while still having space for plenty more. You can't go wrong with that!
I personally don't use the U3 feature of the stick. After experimenting for a while with it I decided to remove it using the built in utility. This wasn't because I didn't think it was good, but because I didn't ... ...just have a simple storage device. After removing the software I was left with 3.82GB of storage capacity.
Another plus is the 'slidey mechanism'. No longer do you have to keep hunting for the protective cap as you just slide the USB connection back into the device. Love it.
Its a standard size, not big at all although I have seen smaller ones. There is a small keyring type attachment on the top which allows it to be fastened to your standard keyring ...

Advantages: Great storage, fast, cheap Disadvantages: U3 software seems a little pointless
I needed a flash drive and this little thing looked and sounded like the thing for me. I have all my personal files backed up on it using the sync manager - which by the way could not be easier to use even if they tried (which they probably did). They claim to be compatible with any computer and while I have used this flash drive with both a PC and Mac, I hav not tried with any other OS so I cannot be 100% sure. I feel quite old saying this (even ... ...USB flash drives are incredibly cheap these days. I remember buying a 256 MB flash drive and it costing £25 so it's a huge bargain getting these 4 GB flash drives for under £10
Fantastic little device. I have so much personal and business data on it and I can still add a movie. Personal data is encrypted and safe. Best little gadget I've bought this year. ...

Advantages: Huge storage capacity, given it's size Disadvantages: Can misplace it easily as its so small!!
I bought this product from play.com for £17.99 which i think was a bargain. It's so small and light. Fantastic for transferring my coursework from home to uni and vice versa. Only problem is because it's so small, it gets lost at the bottom of my bag and i worry i've lost it totally!
As for the memory size, 4GB is excellent! I bought it to back up some movies, pictures and songs from my computer, and it's great given its small physical size.

It's got a wierd U3 application that i'm just getting to grips with as i've never come across such a thing before. This has some extra things on it like Skype and a couple of games like SuDoku. It asks you ...

Advantages: Small, fast enough Disadvantages: Not for Readyboost
After reading many reviews on USB flash memory sticks, i decided that the cheaper end of the market would probably suffer from slow transfer speeds. I had heard of Sandisk, so decided to buy from them as a reputable company. I'm glad i did because my first impressions were how good the build quality was - very sturdy metal casing with removable rubber sleeve to protect against knocks (and rubber cap too).
The second thing that i was impressed with ... ...When copying/moving data (i have only used for .AVI, .MP3 & .WAV) a bright LED flashes to show the work in progress and transfer speeds were faster than i expected. Copying at between 12 and 16 Mb/s (faster on Linux than Windows XP), which equates to a 2Gig file taking less than 2 minutes to complete. Definitely faster than burning/copying to/from DVD, which is what i did before i had this.
The stick does come with some trial encryption software ...

Advantages: EASY TO CARRY AROUND, HOLDS MORE FILES THAN THE 1-3GB Disadvantages: CAN'T WORK WITH MAC COMPUTERS,
...first flash drive, it was sandisk cruzer micro. I got the the 1gb, i have lots of projects in school that i want to save on the flash drive, but it's really small. My project in school include vidieos, i save like 10 videos on the flash drive and the whole memory is full. So my friend recommend the 4gb to me. I went to best buy, and purchase it. The flash drive hold more than 4 times the files the 1gb can hold. The really good thing is both the 1gb ... ...the same color. So if you have the 1gb , and trying to get the 4gb, you won't feel like it contains more weight than the 1gb. I use the flash drive to save both music and videos. It's really good for money, and it's really easy to carry around. The disadvantage is it can't work with mac pc. Mine only work with windows. And the flash drive can work with any window computer. The flash drive is really save, and there is lots of programs you can put ...
