Its a great buy, dont get me wrong its worth the money for a 16gb small thing like that!
However, my intentions were to improve on the size in gb of a flash drive with the added effect that it would also become fast. Ive run tests and normal transfer rates and the max i could pull off transferring with this flash drive is max around 5 mb a sec! My old memory usb transfered at 29mb a sec, so it was a tad disappointing at my loss. However if you have the spare time to wait that extra time for transferring files, then buy it. You wont regret it however just be aware that the transfer speed is real slow and you could be waiting around 4-7 mins transferring a 1gb file.

for its memory size and price you can't go wrong! plugged it in, transfered over my files and all done.
not sure what or why someone would get a more expensive USB stick for the same amount of memory as this happily and easily does it.

This is fantastic value,light,small and totally plastic but seems to be quite sturdy.
It is faster at loading and downloading than my old San Disc Cruzer 16.
As far as I can tell the only down side is that unlike the Cruzer the Cruzer Blade is not password protected and there is no L.E.D. light display indication when it is operating.

I have been looking for a small, high capacity flash pendrive for a while. I did not want one with a light indicator and wanted a trustworthy brand. I needed one for my Tevion portable DVD player so I could stick all my movies on it. Any flashing light would be a nuisance and any big flash pendrive would be a nuisance. The pendrive installed automatically on my mac and it did not take long to transfer video files. Have now got a back series of Lost on it and plays perfectly on my Tevion divx portable DVD player(2010 version) even though it supposedly supports up to 8gb my 16gb flash pendrive works seamlessly.
There are a couple of issues I suppose: the pendrive is slightly plasticky and there is no shielding top. But for me it is solid enough and I can always get a case for it if needed. It is small, and has a decent keyring hole. I have given it 5 stars because it is ideal for my use. Am extremely pleased with it and always trust Sandisk products. Hope this review helps( tech specs are easy to find elsewhere).

Excellent 8Gb flash drive, does exactly what it says in the description. It really is very tiny, much smaller than I expected even having seen the picture. It is completely made of plastic which again I wasn't expecting (although I'm not sure what I was!) but seems to be very tough. Great buy.

Size Name:16GB
I have now purchased 2 of the SanDisk Cruzer Blade USB Flash Drives, and i must
say that out of all the other USB drives i have used and purchased in the past the
SanDisk is the most reliable and works well between Macs and PC's. The read write speed is quite good ans the unit is very small, easily fitting into a pocket. It is made
from mostly plastic but i have found it to be very sturdy and very light. Some people say it could be asily lost and i agree, but if you attach a lanyard to the body of the unit you can easily wear this around your neck; without noticing it is there it is that light.
Even though it is very light and small this is a very well made and reliable drive, i have so far had no failures to mount or problems with this tiny mighty USB Drive. Also the suppier was very prompt and reliable in the delivery of the unit.

Size Name:4GB
I bought this as it is very stylish, nice design and colours. My only worry was the capless end, I thought this would be prone to breaking. This is not the case, very well made product with no faults and not some shoddy, flimsy plastic crap. Extremely small and easy to lose if not attached to anything. Overall it's a nice, sleek and stylish flash drive with fast file tranfer. Only regret? That I didn't buy the 8GB or 16GB instead.

The SanDisk Cruzer Blade 16GB USB 2.0 flash drive is an attractive looking memory stick. I've had mine for about 6 months now and it's working fine. Originally bought for £16.99 although price has gradually been dropping. It's something around £12 now.
The drive is very attractive with it's red and black casing. Something pretty unique is how the whole thing is plastic and doesn't have usual metallic casing at the USB part where it slots into the USB port. It has a hole at the back to let you thread a keyring or string to attach to your keys or to something to hang around your neck. I wouldn't put it with your keys using a metal ring though, as too much pressure can break the plastic, as I know someone with one whom did this and lets just say the drive has seen better days, even though it still works.
16GB of space is enough for a lot of documents and even software (even if it's only really 14.9GB because of the way MegaBytes are measured and advertised (1024 per MB rather than 1000 per MB)). It can also fit a fair bit of media such as music and movies. Unfortunately, this is when you start realising the downside of buying such a cheap drive. The transfer speed of copying files to the device is very slow.
Write speed (copying files TO the drive) is around 19.5 Megabits/s (that's 2.44 MegaBytes). Read speed (copying FROM the drive) is around 262.5 Megabits/s (around 32.81 MegaBytes/s). The read speed is pretty good but writing is very slow and would be quite frustrating if you're copying a lot of files or a lot of large files to the drive. I own other flash drives and they fair a lot better in write speeds.
E.g. Kingston DataTraveller 16GB - Write speed 64.67 Megabits/s (8.02 MegaBytes). Read speed 171.66 Megabits (21.... Read more ›
