"Great Product!"
I've never had any trouble with this product. It even went through the washer and dryer and kept working without a hitch! I highly recommend this product.

"Too Expensive For a 2 GB Version"
Although a good (maybe even great product), the price on Amazon is ridiculously high. I'm sorry I ever made this purchase. A realistic price should be in the $20 - $30 range (as of December 2006)

"SanDisk Cruzer Mini 2GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive, read/write speed"
Please be advised If you expect to be able to write data quickly: I found that the time to copy a 26 MByte folder from the desktop was 311 seconds. A 512 MB SanDisk Cruzer Mini copied the same data in 76 seconds. An external USB Seagate hard drive copied the data in 40 seconds.

If you need to copy large files/folders, this speed may matter. For example, it takes 3 hours and fifteen minutes to copy 2 GBytes onto the 2 GB stick I bought. I don't know if this is typical, because neither the vendor nor the manufacturer would/could clearly answer whether my stick was defective, or was my stick reasonably typical in speed.

"Quality Flash Drive"
This is my second SanDisk flash drive. It works great. Files transfer quickly and there is lots of storage. It also fits easily into the limited space around USB ports on many computers. Can't go wrong.

"Reliable!"
I agree that this drive can be a little slow, but it hasn't caused a problem for me. I keep copies of many files (about 1 GB total) related to a large project at work on mine. When I first copied all the files to the drive it took a couple of minutes, but now I just make changes or updates to the individual files and the write times are short enough that I don't even notice them (just a second or two). I also seemlessly work on the files on both a PC at work and a Mac at home.

To me the best feature is the reliability. Between my husband and I, we've had several Cruzer Minis in various sizes and each one has worked great, even through accidental abuse. One of his 512 MB drives accidently went through the washing machine. We thought the data was gone, but when it dried out, it worked fine. Just today I found my 2 GB drive at the bottom of the dryer; it had been left in a pocket and had gone through both the washing machine and dryer. Yep, it still worked! I'm buying a new one to replace it (just in case) because I don't know it there might be some long-term effects from the water and heat, but I'll keep using this one for less important applications. Changes are good, though, that it'll never have a problem. These things are amazingly reliable!
