SanDisk SDCZ2-1024-A10 1 GB Cruzer Mini USB 2.0 Flash Drive (Retail Package) – Customer Reviews
Be aware before you buy this!
-
Be aware before you buy this flash drive that it will not accept file names with many commonly used characters like: '?' and '/'. When it encounters
these characters, it stops transferring files completely and you have to
begin the copying process again after 'correcting' the file names.
For me, this was a serious inconvenience and an undisclosed liability of the device. For others, it may be less important.10/28/2006 12:00 AM | Rating:
Unrealiable; Don't trust with important files.

I had this drive for a few months and one day it decides to stop working.Windows recoginizes it, but when I try to open it, Windows tells me to insert a disk in the drive.It appears the flash drive is dead with tons of imformation on it.Luckily I had the insight to back up the most important file earlier today, so all is not lost, but I don't even remember the other files I had on there.I have an earlier backup and hopefully I can recover most of my files.
It's a real shame you have to back up a backup device which is exactly what you have to do with this.It may work great but there is no telling when the drive will fail and you end up screwed if you depend on it to save important files.
I have another one just like it and after what happened today, I'm going to back the "good" one up right now before it fails too.I am done with SanDisk for good.I find it unacceptable for a data storage solution to be this unrealiable.
If you are unfortunate enough to have this product, back up your data now because there is no telling when it will fail on you as well.10/16/2006 12:00 AM | Rating:

This is a nice flash drive. It comes with security software already on it. The best part is that I accidently left it in my pocket and it went through Washer and Dryer. It survived and it still functions.

Awsome, reliable, one gig is plenty for most fields (not mine, grapics and animation D:)
WARNING: the physical design of the drive. the lanyrad with break the weak connection so there won't be a good way easily carry it around: be careful not to break it. ir yu would have to tape something around it to make it easier to keep track of.
the cap: those things are so easy to lose. the different colors are neat, but aren't those swivel cap built in thingies so cool?8/31/2006 12:00 AM | Rating:
Storage!
-
I am the science fiction author of a book called "The Alien Mind"... consequently I need room to store many files of stories that are many MB big. The USB port Flash Drives are perfect to store all of my manuscript files, Pictures and Query letter files all in one place! I love the way I can back up the files on my computer and then take those files where ever I want to! I can then open those files on any computer with a USB port!
I have found many great uses for this device and would recomend it many times over the typical floppy disks and RW-CD's!
You will be amazed at how many files it will hold... Drag and drop all the files from your Flash Drive into a briefcase on your computer and keep all of your files updated!8/14/2006 12:00 AM | Rating:
