Works, but not great (terribly slow),
I have been a Cruzer user for the past 3 years and, yes, I like and use U3 software. I own a 4 Gb Cruzer and decided to buy the 16 Gb to get some additional space.
Even if you use U3, or like the Cruzer, the 16 Gb version is not a great buy. It works perfect and comes with additional U3 software, but it is terribly slow.
I was appalled at the slow speed of the new drive, so I made three experiments to compare it rigorously with my former 4 Gb drive:
(1) Copying a 291 Mb RAR file from the hard-drive to the Cruzer
(2) Copying a combination of 8 main folders (with multiple sub-folders and files in them) totaling 307 Mb from the hard-drive to the Cruzer
(3) Deleting both the RAR file and the 8 folder structure from the Cruzer drive.
Here are the results:
Cruzer 4 Gb: RAR – 37 s, Folders – 1:02, Delete – 13 s
Cruzer 16 Gb: RAR – 1:06 min, Folders – 1:57 min, Delete – 27 s
So.. basically twice as slow as the 4 Gb drive, which is a pain when using the drive daily. It is up to you. All I can say is that I am currently back to using the 4 Gb Cruzer and using the 16 Gb as backup.

|Great USB Drive at a Good Value Price,
I have had this device for over a month now and I have filled it over 65% already and have had no issues with speed or compatability. Worked on all platforms. I did remove the U3 SW as I prefer to use Portable Apps. I will break down the review as such:
Compatibility: I have used it on Win XP, Win Vista, Mac OS X and Windows 2000. No issues at all.
Speed: I copied 8 GB worth of data on the very first day. With write speeds around 15+ MB/s – it performed as expected. Its not the fastest but it is adequate for 99% of users.
Durability: Well, I didn’t think I could say much about this except that it has worked fine daily for the last month or so. I will add that this little device did survive a full wash and dry cycle and still is chugging along. I think that speaks volumes about its durability. I know its a SSD so it should be expected to survive such things – but you don’t believe it until you see/experience it.
Asthetics: It is very compact. It has an orange light that flashes when it is in action. The USB connector retracts. Simple, nothing fancy though it does have a nice look to it – what more can you ask for?
Price: This is certainly not the cheapest 16GB drive out there but with the SanDisk name behind it, it certainly is a value buy. Another plus.
I would highly recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a fast, widely compatible, durable and value USB drive that has enough space for anything you would want to put on it.
So in short- Buy It!

|Come with more than I wanted,
16 gig, slide out type is great, no cap to lose. But it came with a “special” U3 program on it that I had to research on google to remove. It was not hard. A remover program was on the drive. But it took me an hour to figure all this hout.
Then it took me more time to figure out how to format this drive for NTFS since this is the best way to store files larger than 4g (like video files.) A youtube vid and google showed me how. Typical of windows this is not straightforward — it takes a bit of looking to find the right piece of Windows that can format this drive (on XP). My regular way with Disk Management did not work.
Did not come with a cord or ring that would allow you to attach it to something.
Worked fine, I stored a 13 gig file. Did not try it on a Mac.
