5.0 out of 5 stars
Seemed a little pointless but...,
By
This review is from: Sandisk 2GB Cruzer Micro U3 Readyboost, Black - Retail Pack (Accessory)
I needed a memory stick for my Uni course so I bought one of these in Staples thinking it was a 2GB memory stick (Which it is). After fiddling about I discovered what the U3 software was and nearly deleted it thinking it was pointless but I'm glad I didn't! I deleted the shareware games and other programs then downloaded Firefox from the U3 site along with a plug in and now I can use Firefox on the uni pc's and have all my bookmarks with me as well! I've also got a quick image editing program to hand as well as well as a couple of others, I've found it really useful! There's not a massive amount of software available yet but developers seem to be adding to the list. The programs don't take up a great deal of space and you can limit on the disk how much space the U3 + software uses. The retractable plug seems sturdy enough and overall it is well built. The only problem I have is the light is ridiculously bright and it does get warm after a while - probably from the orange light - at least you'll be able to warn ships should a lighthouse near you fail. Haven't had any problems with incompatibility yet, used it on my laptop and the uni PC's (they have 2 different types of machine) all on windows XP Home + professional.
I have 4 programs that have used 100MB in total, including the U3 software itself.

Remove the U3 software if any problems!,

This review is from: Sandisk 2GB Cruzer Micro U3 Readyboost, Black - Retail Pack (Accessory)
I bought this to use to transfer Divx files from my PC and play via my Philips DVD player USB port. I've had another SanDisk USB flash drive for a while now which has stood the test of time and proved very reliable. It's also compatible with my player (a lot aren't) which is why I decided to stick with the same brand. Shock, horror! When I Plugged this one into my player I was advised that 'USB not compatible'!
Quickly came to the conclusion it was probably the U3 software and indeed removing the U3 software quickly rectified the problem. The removal tool is included on the stick so theres no need to search the internet for it. With the USB plugged into my PC double-clicked on the 'U3 System' showing in 'My Computer' under removable devices. This brought up a new window. The second option down is to remove the U3 software and use device for storage only. Selected it and a few seconds later it was removed. As well as removing the software it also leaves you with the option to re-install the U3 software should you want it at a later date by opening the drive and clicking on the 'RestoreU3' icon. Drive works brilliantly now. Copies files at good speed without errors and is compatible with my player. If I want to use it for anything else I can restore the U3 software. I like the retractable plug (I'm forever losing the top on my other one) and it seems sturdy enough. Just what I wanted!

Only USB key I've ever had that has failed.,
By
This review is from: Sandisk 2GB Cruzer Micro U3 Readyboost, Black - Retail Pack (Accessory)
I bought a 3 pack of these Sticks from another supplier and 2 work fine but the 3rd has failed. It gets hot 30 seconds after plugging it in and the pc does not recognise it.
I work in IT and recently had to review a large number of different types of stick for functionality and speed. After testing all the other sticks this is the only one I've seen that has failed. It has only been used a few times. Now to explain the Sandisk 2 year "warranty". This consists of sending it back to them for inspection...Recorded delivery to the Czech Republic. £20 to send back a £5 stick ? No thanks. No freepost address available. Avoid this stick. There are any number out there that are better and cheaper. Poor service from SANDISK.
