Summary: YES, it does get stuck!!!!
Review: DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT! It got stuck in the back of my computer after weeks of working perfectly, and, yes, I had to use pliers to pull it out! And it ripped up my USB port on the way out.

If you do a quick search on the web, you'll find that it has happened to LOTS of people!

BEWARE!

Summary: Wonderful little item
Review: Love to be able to transport so much info so easily!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not suitable for keychain use
Review: It's fast and great but it gets scratched up immediately if you put it on your keychain. These come with a lanyard but I'm not sure who would be wearing it around his neck. The best place to put this would be with your security badge for work but I prefer to carry it on the keychain.

Summary: I love my Mini Cruzer
Review: This was a christmas present from my husband and I have had absolutely NO problems with it. I am surprised to read all the reviews of people who have had miserable experiences because I use mine every day and it works perfectly.

*shrug* I have no idea how the product could be so hit and miss but I love mine so much that I am upgrading to the Titanium 512MB version.

And I find the lanyard very useful because I have attached my work badge holder to it and now it multi-tasks. :)

Summary: Nice when it works
Review: Purchased first through Amazon.com. Failed to work after the first week. Spent 5 weeks waiting on a new one from SanDisk (who were very easy to deal with). Received second drive which failed after a week. Received third 5 weeks later which, too failed. Have gone with different product. Recommend you do the same.

Summary: Failed after 3 month
Review: I bought this device 3 month ago and it worked fine until today. My Win 2000 PC stopped recognizing the drive and Win XP machine displayed an error "Hardware Malfunction". I tried it in 5 different computers, same problem.
I called SanDisk and they sent me a pre-paid FedEx label to ship it back. They promised to send me a new one, but my data is lost. I heard about poor quality of SanDisk products and I experience it myself.
I gave this product 2 stars for a nice design and good customer service.

Summary: 3rd Time's a Charm?
Review: I'm on my 3rd Cruzer Mini now, after one died and cannot be recognized after 3 months of use, and its replacement gave me the "Insert Disk" message that other people have seen.

Hits: small, slim design, fits in tight spaces, needs only LOW power and can be chained off an USB Hub. Good RMA policy & tracking process, though my first replacement was slow in coming, but the 2nd came in decent time. It comes with replacement plastic caps should you lose the original, though the replacments are just as easy to lose.

Misses: Silly necklace-thing that came with it, durability & long-term reliability. We'll see how long this will last. Performance is lower than some competitors.

Take Away: We'll see whether the Cruzer will outlast its warranty or not. SanDisk probably lost money on me with the holiday rebate and the 2 RMAs thus far.

Advice to all: whether you have this or any other USB Flash Drive, MAKE BACKUPS!!!

Summary: Its like a pack of gum... only... different.
Review: I was a bit leery of this product after reading the reviews... even after I bought it I kept expecting it to die on me... or get stuck in a usb port, although i cant quite figure out how that would happen.

Been used on 11 different windows XP and 2K boxes with nary a problem. It is about the size of a 5 pack of gum, and for the price, it can't be beat.

I have used it over the last few months to transfer a few hundred files between computers. (we have some at work that we keep off the network) I also have files backed up on it.

If you have the money to get a sony vault drive, or something else, go ahead, but if not, this is a great device.

Summary: Small nice USB Drive
Review: Not sure about the guy who got his "stuck" so bad he needed pliers to remove it(joke ?) But where I work we bought 12 of these. All but one are still in service. That one just stopped being reconised on any system. Sandisk Tech support was great and replaced it within a week.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: S l oooooooo on Win Xp compared to others....
Review: Great little device, Read speed ok (just ok) but
Write speed on Win Xp really bad - like super sloooooow....
And delete, like 6 minutes to delete 12 meg of files on it!!!

As some one else mentioned theres no problems on Win 2000, in fact its rather zippy, but Win Xp and this thing has a problem. Some friends have IBM and Kingston devices like this one - and they beat me to death, my sanDisk is SAD in comparison...
Its a bummer..
