SanDisk 1 GB Cruzer Micro with U3 ( SDCZ6-1024-A11, Retail Package)
From the Manufacturer
SanDisk’s Cruzer Micro makes data transfer fast and simple. Its hi-speed USB 2.0-certified for data transfers at up to 480 Mbps (also compatible with USB 1.1, at a more modest 12 Mbps). Its 1GB capacity lets you store important data, pictures, music, and other files on a device little bigger than a few sticks of gum, then readily transfer them to your laptop or desktop. Making an important presentation? Walk into the room with your laser pointer and a Cruzer Micro.
The Cruzer Micro offers higher storage capacity than floppy disks and other removable media, faster transfer rates, and better file security through CruzerLock. CruzerLock encrypts your individual files, keeping them safe and secure from prying eyes. Simply choose a personal password, select the file that you want to encrypt, and let CruzerLock do the rest. (CruzerLock is Windows-only; local administrator privileges required for Windows 2000 and XP.)
For most users, the Cruzer Micro is plug and play, with no drivers required. (A Windows 98SE driver is available online at sandisk.com.) Many USB flash drives obstruct the port adjacent to it, making it difficult or impossible to use two USB devices at once. The ultra-small, ultra-thin Cruzer Micro won’t cramp your style–no matter how tight things may get.
Cruzer Micro now ships with U3 smart technology. Co-invented by SanDisk, U3 technology gives you the ability to carry your files AND your software on a secure USB drive. You can have your wallpaper, preferences, favorites, profiles, and more - everything you need for a familiar computing experience on any PC, wherever you go.
Includes Skype exclusively on all Cruzer Micro USB flash drives. Make voice and video calls from PC to PC anywhere in the world.
The new retractable USB port eliminates the need for caps and protects your USB connector.

works great
This serves its purpose, and I love not having a tiny cap to cover the metal end because those always get lost.
After having an experience with slow startup speeds (and actually freezing a computer) with the 1GB Cruzer Micro with U3, I feel compelled to write this negative review. The mere existence of a software layer to access the flash drive defeats the main purpose of existence of flash drives: a fast and higlhly compatible interface. Any hidrance to this convenience makes the device a liability. I work at an educational institution wher I am responsibel for organizing presentation sessions in which speakers often bring their presentations in a flash drive. As a matter of policy, we will not allow speakers to plug in to our computers devices that run any kind of software in the background.

Great tool, great price
I love this product. The retractable design is slick looking and fun to use. The device is protected enough to have stood through constantly being thrown into a book bag along…

Fair Storage Device
Good price for memory but weak casing. It breaks easily. You have to be very careful.

Sandisk not a good name anymore
I thought that Sandisk was a trustworthy name when it came to memory. My experience has been that it is not.

Try to get a product without U3.
This flash drive worked well for 2 years, which warrants a 2-star review; it is compact and I appreciated the retractable jack.

tight fit in slots, otherwise works fine
I have to disagree with some of the negative reviews here.
On my XP system, I was able to delete the U3 software from the drive (moved it to a folder on my computer),…

Excellent value!
It has worked perfectly, even with Vista. The price was very good, you find a similar item at Best Buy or Circuit City for over $20!!
