~ Opinion ~
I will admit I did buy this because it was cheap, there was nothing in the aesthetics that made me want to buy it but I am happy now I do have it.. It takes literally seconds to transfer files of a smaller size from the PC to the stick or to my laptop. Obviously larger files do take a bit longer but the little light in the USB stick will flash at you while the files are being transferred.
Obviously these little machines are lightweight and portable, although that is a little downside to this one. Unless you have t on a key ring or attached to your keys, it is losable..!
Also the colour is pale, well it is white.. and if you leave it on a white windowsill in your bedroom (yes, I did.) You might well lose it..! The rubber grip of the stick is quite nice to touch and a benefit it that you do know that you are holding it so probably won't drop it..!
The fact that the USB stick works across different systems is brilliant because not every computer has Vista and being able to swap documents through this onto different systems is a blessing. Simply just stick the 'stick' into your computer and the driver is recognised instantly or it was in my laptop, no guarantees it would in every computer. There is no disk included so I am guessing it should have the driver software installed in the actual portable machine itself..!
The big memory is also a nice bonus as I could put the whole contents of my iPod on this stick and still have space for a few files..! For the price it is a good value for money providing your not to bothered about having a little pale and uninterested memory stick. Though the rubber skin can be removed but that is not something I would advise unless you want to lose all your work on your stick as the stick would be even worse to find without.. Especially if you could be scrambling around in the dark for it.. Like all good students working dead into the night…..!
I got my stick for £14.99 out of pc world But it's £10.99 on play.com, and since then I can't find it anywhere else..!

Review of SanDisk Cruzer Micro U3 - USB flash drive - 4 GB
Advantages: Password protect, a computer in your pocket Disadvantages: none
When you look for a flash drive you probably look for affordability, reliability and durability. The good thing about this drive is that it has all of that. This flash drive has a load of space enough for even the heaviest of flash drive users. This drive has not once messed up for me at all. I've been using it for a long time now and it still runs the same as if I bought it yesterday. The price is extremely reasonable too especially if you knowing ... ...has a pre-installed software called U3 Smart Technology. This software is great as it can make any computer just like the computer you have at home. You install all the software directly to the flash drive via the U3 Smart Technology software (download the software from their website). Now you can go on to any computer and run the programs that you are familiar with. This is especially a good tool to have when using shared computers in university ...

...and I stumbled upon the SanDisk Cruzer Micro U3. I had recalled reading about U3 devices awhile back so I was quite interested to find out what they were. I discovered that U3 devices pretend to have a CD drive inside them so when you plug in the device it will install its drivers (as with any usb stick) and then it has the ability to autorun software. The software that comes with the USB stick allows certain programs to be installed on the stick, ... ...keep your settings saved on your usb stick so that they are not lost from computer to computer.

Advantages: Function appearance and compact Disadvantages: could be lost in an slight updraft!
Appearance:
Looks great with a minimalist streamlined design, the only additional bulk of any conceivable kind is the thin rubber 'skin' which protects the label attached to the bare stainless steel component case, which can be written on.This minute extra weight prevents it blowing away in a light wind, along with the rubbery cap and neck strap loop on the end, which doubles as a relaxing glowing light (mine's orange in light colour?) This light ... ...when in use.
Practicalities/function:
I would suggest tieing something to this neck strap loop in order to see it more easily and have a chance of extracting it from any kind of bag/pocket as it truly is tiny! It functions very well and is easily recognised on all compatible computers in my experience! and with 4GB of storage it certainly is a big hitting little flash drive. It should therefore avoid any need to juggle with unwanted files or create ...

Advantages: Price and Size Disadvantages: Rubber won't last
I bought this USB stick as a replacement for my old bulky USB stick with poor memory. The first problem I experienced was the rubber case came loose and would slip off with the cap when I pulled it out of my pocket. So I decided to remove the case and the cap and I think its better for it. It is smoother, smaller and slides into my pocket much more easily. The metal finish is silver in color with a hint of gold, it is smooth to touch. In terms of ...
