Summary: Real Handy!
Review: I bought the 1GB Sandisk USB drive primarily to transport data to and from work and other sites. Since it's my first such drive, I can't attest to its speed versus other models, but it seems plenty fast for my needs.
The CruzerLock software comes loaded on the drive itself which obviously uses up some of your usable memory. Through a nice interface, the software allows you to select files on the computer's hard drive and encrypt them. The result is automatically copied to a subfolder on the Cruzer called \Secure. You can also ignore the software, and use the Cruzer as another hard drive and copy unencrypted data wherever you like on its file system.
The encryption method and strength is not documented which I suppose is just as well because you're trucking around the software and keys to decrypt the data with the data itself anyway leaving only a password which could be defeated through brute force between an intruder and the raw data. I'm not usually a security hound, but for ultra sensitive data, I'd use another (or an additional) encryption scheme and not store the encryptor/decryptor for that on the Cruzer itself though that would certainly be less convenient. There are lots free and cheap encryption products out there!
By the way, I also tried moving data between a Windows OS and a Mac OS, and it worked great though the encryption software is just for Windows so you have to use other encryption means or store unencrypted.

Summary: best in the market
Review: I have been thinking of buying a USB drive for quite sometime and although there are not many choices for 1GB, this one seemed the best (in price, reviews, performance etc) in various websites. If this was available in micro version (smaller one), that would have been just awesome.
Anyways, here's my experience with this storage device:
- comes with a standard SanDisk CruzerLock software on the disk itself and I found it very convenient to use it for encrypting my files from the hard drive. I've also tried copying the data without using the encryption feature and it works flawlessly.
- backwards compatible with USB 1.1 also, though it might need a driver (from the CD or the website). usage with 2.0 doesn't require any driver
- thin enough to plug another USB device next to it. I've tried it with Logitech USB webcam and they both plug just as well
- compatible across Windows and Mac OS. tried and tested.
- can't vouch for the speed but it works fast enough for me. Obvoisly, Sandisk --> hard-disk is much faster.
I generally use it to move music/photos etc and sometimes copy emails around. has served me very well. Initially I was sceptical about 1GB space and was thinking of buying 2 Sandisk 512MB Micro devices, but this one works just fine and turns out much cheaper too.

Summary: CRUZER MINI IS A WINNER
Review: I just purchased this product at Office Depot at a check out lane. This thing is a screaming eagle. It transfers files effortlessly and immediately. You can stick it in your pocket, wallet, or anywhere else you want to put it. Just plug it into your USB port and away you go. Like the other reviewer said, it's no bigger than a pack of gum and it's lightning fast.

Review: I was using an older 128 MB flash drive as the file system for e-mail on two older laptop computers. This allowed me to keep my mail synchronized on my primary home system and the one I take on travel. The problem was that I outgrew the 128 MB, and since both of my systems were older circa 2001 laptops that used USB 1.1 and ran under Windows 98 SE none of the gigabyte flash drives would work with it - all of the others required either USB 2.0 and/or Windows ME or 2000. This drive, however, is backwards compatible with the older USB 1.1 interface, and a Windows 98 SE driver is available for download from the manufacturer's site. Download and installation of the new driver went perfectly. It was literally done in a few mouse clicks. I plugged the drive into each machine and it was immediately recognized by both my Sony and IBM laptops. I also tried this on a Windows 2000 system and it was immediately recognized and assigned as a disk drive without drivers. Not only does this device work as advertised with no problems, but it also leaves room for a second USB device on laptops that have adjacent ports (my Sony is configured like this). My old flash drive required me to use an USB extension cable in order to have room to plug in my mouse, so the form factor is yet another feature I like about this particular model. One final feaure I very much like - you can encrypt files on this device, and since I am using it as an email file system the privacy and protection this affords me is important. Highly recommended if you want a high-capacity flash drive that will work on older Windows 98 SE systems, or just a reliable and easy-to-install flash drive for any system. It will not work on Windows 95 and below systems (none of the flash drives of which I am aware will).
