Watch Out Mac Users!!!
I bought the micro vault 2 transfer files from my PC 2 my mac - not realizing that I would not be able 2 open the compressed files on my mac! I am now stuck without any of my files, as I transferred everything & got rid of my PC before trying 2 open the files.

SanDisk 2 GB Cruzer Titanium ( SDCZ7-2048-A10, Retail Package)
This was necessary 2 use when I converted from Milleneum system 2 Vista. I did not have a writeable CD. It worked well. The package is impossible 2 open.

Outstanding product
Very compact, easy 2 use item. I have had no problems whatsoever with this. I can transfer large files quickly 2 it, & it opens them quickly. I highly recommend this 2 anyone needing this size of flash drive.

Slow as s!n
Like many others, I found this 2 be incredibly slow on a Mac, particularly when copying a lot of small files. Basically, if you have a Mac, don't get this, you'll regret it sorely.

Slylish & quick
I picked up this drive (2GB, model USM2GJ) on sale at Staples 4 $13. Bought it as a gift, but liked the looks so kept it 4 myself.
It is very stylish looking, but when I got it out of the package it felt a little flimsy (not as flimsy as the Sandisk Cruzer Micro). It's very light & thin, so neighboring USB ports remain accessible 4 me.
Transfer speeds with USB 2.0 are fine 4 me, although not the fastest, plenty fast 4 backups & sneaker-net. I do not use the Expander software at all (which probably slows things down anyway), but do use TrueCrypt 2 secure my stuff in case of loss or theft. Anyone who complains about lack of encryption should read the package versus making assumptions, & use Truecrypt which is free, open source, secure & can be used on anything.
No lanyard or even thread loop is included, which would have been nice, but the little indent 2 use your own is. I'm geeky & don't mind wearing a thumb drive around my neck where it's safe, rather than crunch it with my keys in my pocket. Another nice feature is the capless design, although I have never lost any caps on my other drives. A small green LED flashes the push button slider button 2 let you know read/write status.
Over all nice, sleak drive, lots of style, good performance, great buy 4 the price ($13) compared 2 no name brands made in China, who's quality & pedigree may be questionable. Thanks.
