4GB Cruzer Titanium is OUT OF THIS WORLD
I now have two (2) 4GB Cruzer Titanium U3 drives and they are truley out ot this world in performance and value! I also convinced a friend in Brazil to purchase 2 more U3's for his personal use with a company computer. These memory sticks are beyond compare. I highly recommend them for anyone traveling (use ANY computer anywhere) or those who are restricted from using the company computer for any personal use. GO for it! Rating:

Nice little gadget
The cruzer appears to be a solid little portable storage device. I have only had it for a short time but it is functioning well so far. The only detractor I have encountered is the pre-loaded software. Getting rid of it is annoying in that one must access software via the internet to accomplish the erasing of the U3 stuff. For a Mac owner, it is especially annoying since one must take the device to a PC because the erasing software doesn't run on a Mac. Most inconsiderate! Rating:

Beware of U3 virus software
The hardware is impressive, but unfortunately it ships with the U3 virus software. I'm a software engineer by trade, and I'm amazed that Sandisk includes U3. When you insert the USB stick into a new computer for the first time, Windows will pop up a notice saying that's installing the U3 virus. Guess what happens when you give this USB stick to your boss to transfer some files? After he plugs it in, he yells at you, saying he doesn't want any damn software installed on his laptop. Telling him it's the U3 virus doesn't make it any easier.
Also, when you plug it into a Windows machine, two drives show up. This is due to the U3 virus trying to do auto-run. I tried to plug the USB stick into a photo kiosk at my local drug store to upload some photos. Because the first drive is empty (out of the two that show up), the photo kiosk will say there is nothing on the stick. Good job there, U3 virus.
Finally, I got so sick of the U3 virus, I ran the "uninstall" feature, which presented me with two options. The first option said it would take 99 minutes to complete. The second option said it would delete the U3 partition, which I believed referred to the first partition I mentioned in the above paragraph. I chose this second option, and it deleted everything off my USB stick. Then I had to pay $150 to have my data recovered.
Do not tolerate the U3 virus. Delete it immediately, or perhaps get a USB stick from another company. Rating:

Mixed results
I purchased two SanDisk 4 GB Cruzer Titanium flash drives from Amazon about a week apart. When I inserted the first one, I was presented with a menu offering the option to uninstall the U3 software which was easily accomplished. The only problem was the sliding extension seemed to be oversize as it was a very tight fit in USB ports.
I just received the second SanDisk flash drive and had a very different experience. After inserting it, the menu described above never appeared. Instead, the U3 software installed and there was a system tray icon and a second icon on the lower right corner of my Desktop. I went to Settings to uninstall U3 and received a message saying that wasn't possible because I had two U3 drives operating (not true). I downloaded the U3 uninstall utility from SanDisk's website and received the same message. Other people reported this problem on SanDisk's forum and none of the suggested remedies (disconnecting the printer cable, disabling other USB drive ports) worked for me. Also, the extension on the second flash drive was an even tighter fit and impossible to insert in some USB ports. I'm returning the second unit to Amazon for a refund.
The SanDisk Cruzer Titanium appears to be a physically sturdy unit but I could do without the oversized USB extensions and the inexplicable difficulty uninstalling the U3 software in the second flash drive I received. |
