Rating: Summary: Cruisin' with the SanDisk Cruzer Review: After reading a positive review of this product in PC Magazine, I decided to buy the Cruzer (128MB). Some of the earlier customer reviews here made me a bit hesitant to order it, but I needed a quick and easy way to transfer files between my home desktop, notebook, and office PCs (I've been using 100MB ZIP disks). As a bonus, the 128MB SD card also fits into my PDA, a Toshiba e310.When it arrived, I loaded the driver (included on CDROM for Win98 and earlier) into my office PC, rebooted and plugged the Cruzer into a USB port. Copying files from the PC was a breeze and my e310 also accepted the SD card without a hitch. I've since used the Cruzer to move files among several PCs running Win98 and WinXP, and to backup files from my PDA - it's fast and convenient. No more ZIP disks to lug around, so I'm cruisin'!
Rating: Summary: Forget those Zips Review: Buying a new laptop or desktop? Save the bucks for a zipdisk option, and carry your data from machine to machine in a Cruzer. I've transfered Gigs with nary a hitch. However, I keep the small USB cord connected permanently, and I don't work the plastic slide in the body of the Cruzer, which looks like it could wear and fail early, perhaps explaining some of the complaints registered here. Other than that, I just throw the Cruzer in my briefcase and roll, and it has performed as well as anyone could want.
Rating: Summary: No drivers, no power supply, and Mega Memory Review: Cool tool. Works well in MAC environment and no drivers needed. I like the fact that memory is expandable via SD memory cards. Not as slim-line and self-contained as Sony Micro Vault but it plugs into MAC keyboard just fine. In case you are working in tight USB places, SanDisk includes a 3.5 inch plug-in cable. A neoprene case is also provided. Very transportable and well worth the money.
Rating: Summary: Win98 Detection Issues Review: Don't get me wrong, this jobbie detects/works great on win2k and winxp but when it comes to win98, there's a bit more work involved. The installation cd installs the drivers but you must manually find the file through "Display List of Drivers" when win98 fails to detect the proper drivers. Select "Hard Disk Controllers". Choose "Sandisk Cruzer Driver" It'll find a file called "pusbata.inf". Now you're set in win98. I could not figure this out for a few days since most modern usb components install much more easily than this. Because of this win98 annoyance, I downgrade this to a 3. Hopefully this helps someone and gives them a reason to boost the score...
Rating: Summary: Works so far Review: I bought this for its "plug 'n' play" aspect (must have better than Windows 98). I already had a Clik drive, but it's not "plug 'n' play". I haven't tested the "plug 'n' play" ability yet on other computers, but on my laptop it works just fine. I like the little disks, but wish they had little labels to write on.
Rating: Summary: Great Product for College Review: I got this device for my wife to use to transfer her work between her college computer lab (Win2K) and home (WinXP). We both have used this little device and it has worked flawlessly every time. Best plus is that it is upgradeable with additional SD Cards. Great for carrying research papers, etc.

Rating: Summary: Great Solution to Moving Files Between Machines! Review: I just received this unit and in 20 minutes had it working perfectly on four different units with three different operating systems. Flawless! For two units with WIN98SE, install the driver first (CD included), reboot and plug in and start transfering files. The third unit has ME and the 4th, XP. For these units I just plugged it in and it was recognized immediately. Now I won't have to burn CDs to transfer large files back and forth to work. The unit comes with a 5" extension cord so that you can easily access almost any USB port, even with something plugged into the port next to it(longer extensions are available). It is just about the size of 2 packs of gum, the unit USB plug is retractable, and comes with a protective carrying sleeve, (can put the entire unit in suit pocket without big bulge) and a clip to hook on a belt, etc. Plus when files get larger in the future, just get a larger memory card, not a whole new unit!
Rating: Summary: It's bigger than a USB drive. Review: I was surprised how large it was when it arrived-- about 3 1/4 by 1 3/4 by 3/4 inches. I was expecting a cute little USB drive, but this is more like a compact SD card reader. It is a pocketfull all by itself, so I won't be able to add it to any of my pockets. It doesn't say anything about USB 2.0.
