Summary: good product
Review: Item was in perfect condition. First attached to Win98 laptop, driver loaded without problem, the device worked perfect. Then plugged into Win2k laptop, no driver needed, again worked perfect. Comes with a nice foam case. Only thing I would change is the foam case. It needs a pocket for the small extension cord that comes with it. Other than that product works as advertised. I am pleased with purchase.

Summary: Where have you been you little wonder
Review: My boss showed me one of these beauties and I was sold, the device is easy to use and for most PC's with XP and Win2000 you don't need software. A CD-Rom is included for older machines as well as a small pouch and a short USB cable for those hard to reach spots.

The device is great compared to rival items because you can swap out storage media, the secure digital card comes in a number of sizes so you are not hampered by a device that runs out of space. The Secure Digital card also fits in my Palm pilot as well as many digital cameras. Small, easy to use and relatively inexpensive, the Cruzer is a must have for any techie and non-techie. Get one now!!!

Summary: Needs Refinement and has poor tech support
Review: Purchased the 128MB Cruzer at Circuit City for [$$$]. I do tech support on a lot of W98/W2K desktops and I thought this would be perfect for carrying around utility software instead several different CD's. It works fine on W2K, but the (incomplete) manual says one must install the driver for W98. I've tried on 2 different boxes, and even downloaded the latest driver from their poorly designed website. No luck - it only works on W2K. Was on hold to CA tech support 10 minutes and I finally hung up. Works great on Windows 2000. Consider a different brand.

Summary: SanDisk Pocketable Flash Drive
Review: Right out of the box the Cruzer worked perfectly for me. Transported an entire card full with our favorite photos and copied them over to my father-in-law's PC (Windows XP) without a hitch, then copied his own favorite digital photos back to my card to take home.

I plan to use the Cruzer to carry larger PowerPoint presentations for work. It is ideal for this and allows slides to be updated and resaved. Much easier than carrying the entire laptop around.

Summary: EXCELLENT
Review: So good it might bring back "sneaker net".

Summary: May Not Work With XP
Review: The Cruzer works on one of my laptops running XP, and used to work on my other laptop when it ran Windows 98 (2nd Edition). But when I upgraded the second laptop to XP, the Cruzer stopped working with it. The computer simply does not recognize the presence of the device. The Sandisk Web site contains no useful information about this problem and is pretty inadequate in general. Too bad, because the product, when it works, is quite good and can be a convenient alternative to Zip disks.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Little Storage Device
Review: The size is minute compared to the amount of storage this device provides. Great for fast transfers of my information from my IPAQ, especially since the cost of the device is only a few more dollars than just purchasing the card alone.

Summary: almost there...
Review: This works absolutely perfectly and wonderfully with a big caveat.

I have a Cassiopeia EM-500. I bought this so I would have room to store MP3s since the EM-500 only comes with 16MB of RAM, and it won't take Compact Flash cards. I almost ended up taking this back because I thought there were problems with it being SD and not MMC. After spending far too long on the web searching for answers, I found out it was a simple solution - install the new Windows Media Player (7.1) and everything worked fine.

Out of the box I just stuck it in my PDA and it recognized the card, no fuss. I found an unfortunately bad free e-book to download and stored it on the card, worked perfectly. I dropped a bunch of MP3s onto the card as well (just before I was getting on a plane, thinking I would figure out what the problem was as an in-flight geek-entertainment thing). Well, I never did get the MP3s to play on the flight. Again, it was the software update from MS ...that fixed the problem. Apparently the new Media Player 7.1 combines the player and Windows Media Manager so you have one simple install for everything.

In any case, it works great. If you can't get music to play, see above. The coolest thing though is really the little portable USB drive that comes with it. It comes with a little foam carrying case with a keychain type hook and a little side pouch so you can carry extra cards. But it just pops in to a USB port (dongle included if you need it) and you can drag and drop like another disk drive. Win2000/NT needs no additional drivers, and I'm about to try it on my XP machine. We'll see.

Summary: Silly name, great product
Review: We got one of these at work to try out the technology. I am thrilled with the preformance. I transfered 100Mb in 12 files to it in less than two and a half minutes. The naitive support in Win2k and WinXP is clean and fast. We picked this device because it's upgradable unlike the other flash drives. I took one star away because the device is mostly plastic, I would've expected it to have a better weight to it. The only other problem I can see is that the silver housing is a bit large against a rear USB port. On older machines without front USB ports that could be irritating. All in all I am very pleased with our Cruzer.

Summary: Confusing description
Review: While this item was reasonably priced, the description mislead me. When this item came up in my Gold Box offers, I read over the description, and came away thinking it was a pocket sized, USB plug-and-play reader for CompactFlash memory cards, which I own because they are used by my digital camera. When I received the item, I realized that it actually uses the miniature flash cards, about the size of a postage stamp. I would NOT have ordered this item if the description was clear, since I do not currently own any devices that use this type of memory card.
