The design concept is excellent, and the snap-out connector works well. However, the case is about 1 mm too wide in both width and height, making it difficult or impossible to insert two of them, either horizontally or vertically, into adjacent ports on a machine. Some cabled USB connectors also have excess width or height, and that's a tight squeeze, as well. So, for the case, a stronger, tougher plastic might allow the Cruzer case to be smaller in both critical dimensions, and eliminate this functional problem. Including the powered hub, I have 9 devices plugged into the 5 ports on my 'desktop replacement' laptop, and that might be somewhat unusual vis á vis the usual user.

    This has always been a good product & the latest purchase is just the same. All my co-workers have one now and are busy keeping files, spreadsheets, and emails on the flash drive. I'm told that it was one of the best purchases we've made so far.

          These SanDisk products work well. I always format them first to remove any "Pre-installed" Software on the Drives. SanDisk products work with very little setup and across multiple platforms. This is how I share large files with Associates and Customers.

                Check your folders on your computer to determine how big the files are you want to save on this flash drive. Right clicking on file or folder and going to properties will show you what the size is.

              • A:

                If you are talking about MP3 encoded songs, it depends on the encoded bit rate, song length, music type, and many other variables. I have an 8 GB Cruzer with 980 songs on it, with most songs encoded at 192 Kb/second or higher.

                It would work; however, it would be very slow. A USB 2.0 port is required for high-speed transfer.

                No. However it's all too easy to use TrueCrypt to make an encrypted disk image and store it on the drive. In order to access it you'll need to have TrueCrypt installed on any computer that you want to access the file from. Instructions for how to do so can be found at .
