Bought this flashdrive 4 colleagues at the office & they all loved it. The next day i saw they had added it 2 their key rings, reducing the chance of misplacing it. The plastic body is hard enough 2 keep it protected & the slide protector is just one cap that wont fall off. Nice product.

I received the product undamaged. However, i failed 2 read the part of the description which states that is is equipped with the "u3" software. This stuff is garbage. It is too "buggy" & I have many issues trying 2 get the computer at work 2 recognize it. Work is running windows 2000 Pro. At home it did great with Vista. However the bottom line is the whole "u3" software is just bells & whistles. If you need 2 simply transfer non sensitive material 2 & from work stay away from "U3". The ICING on the cake was it died after 3 weeks of struggling with it. Taking my documents with it. Spend some more money & save yourself the headache.
Rating: 5 of 5 Slider means NO MORE LOST CAPS!!
I originally bought 2 of the SanDiskCruzerSlides, 4 myself & my daughter in law, so we could exchange picture files by mail, we loved them so much I bought four more 4 my high school kids. The slider has meant no more tossed drives because of lost caps, so they can keep these hooked 2 their backpacks or key rings 2 bring school work back & forth, including music files. I'll be buying more!!!
Rating: 5 of 5 Awesome Flash Drive
This is a replacement 4 a two-year old SandiskCruzer mini that I lost the cap 4 & managed 2 mash the connector.
Not a problem with this drive. It a sturdy design with no loose cap 2 lose. The slide cap is just what I was looking for. The big non-slip ring is big enough 4 my ham hands 2 grasp.
There is no obvious l.e.d. that most other drives have 2 let you know they are installed & being accessed. I thought I could live without that, but when I plugged it in, the drive glowed behind the Sandisk name, & flashed during file transfer.
There have been quite a few comments in other Sandisk reviews on the evils of the U3 software that comes with the drive. Yes, when I inserted the drive the first time a dialog popped up & said I would have 2 reboot, but I told it "later." I then went 2 Sandisk's Website & read up on the perceived benefits of U3. After deciding it was of no benefit 2 me, I downloaded & ran "launchpadremoval.exe" & that was the end of it. If I find I can use it later I can always download it from Sandisk.
The only question I have is, "Why would someone pay $20.66 4 a black one when a red one is 12.44?" Both are eligible 4 free shipping, too.
Rating: 5 of 5 Nice & compact
My husband really likes how small & compact this USBdrive is. He especially likes that it will not & cannot fall off of his key chain--which has happened 2 two others he has owned. It is simple & has no caps 2 lose & will tolerate a fair amount of abuse. Overall- great!
