1 out of 5 stars the worst product I have purchased from Amazon!.......2007-12-13

DO NOT BUY THIS DRIVE! DO NOT BUY THIS DRIVE! DO NOT BUY THIS DRIVE! DO NOT BUY THIS DRIVE!

I am sorry to say, this USB Thumb drive is without a doubt the worst thing I have ever purchased on Amazon!

Just trying to physically plug it in to a laptop is an exercise in futility! The physical operation of this drive is ridiculous.

Trying to delete the 'free' junk software off this drive seems to be impossible.

DO NOT BUY THIS DRIVE! DO NOT BUY THIS DRIVE! DO NOT BUY THIS DRIVE! DO NOT BUY THIS DRIVE!

4 out of 5 stars Watch out for sand in your pockets.............2007-12-04

SanDisk - great company, great product. 8GB - I use for everything, but bought it particularly for review and editing of home movies, no problem works very well.

As I recall this Cruiser came with some kind of case or holder.... I discarded it, THIS WAS A MISTAKE!. This little device has some very close tolerance mechanical parts that jamb up or at the very least work very hard if you get any grit into them. I still have use of the device, it just work hard most of the time. Knowing this now for me personally, I would choose a simpler device. Still hoping the sand will work its way out......Still Cruising.

5 out of 5 stars I like the Cruzer Contour.......2007-11-26

I like this USB drive.
It's fast enough to dump 2600+ file (backup) in a few minutes.
I tried it with Vista Ready Boost. Not sure about any performance increase as I'm running with 2GB memory, and don't keep a lot of Windows open. I'm sure it would help if your memory is on the low side.
The classy little Contour is sometimes stubborn to reveal its connector, or at least till you get the hang of it. It's a pull back/push forward to reveal, and push forward/pull back to close. If you've ever used the other Cruzer drives, you pull back to close, push forward to reveal. Wouldn't recommend owning both types, too confusing. It does come with user activated PW protection, and other software stuff if you want. You can format the drive with out blowing away any firmware. If somehow it does go away, you can reload from SanDisk.

I like SanDisk products, I use SD cards in cameras, MP3 (Rhapsody) .rax players, and PDA's, no problems over the past two years. Price keep dropping also. I liked this UNIT sooo much I bought another 8GB Contour to be delivered tomorrow. PLUG: Amazon is my friend, I truly find their prices, and delivery times outstandingly good! Tracking and customer service are also high on my list of what makes a good online retailer, broker, reseller of things! They may not always be lowest price, but a fair price, and you will get your order! Nuff said about that.

If you need an extra 8GB of storage, that's portable and fast, quick to connect, cool looking(not a toy), secure and reliable the Contour is a good choice for sure. I now have two. I do recommend this product. byit

5 out of 5 stars Fast and loads of space.......2007-10-16

I will not list the specifications in this review because you can read it from other reviewers or the SanDisk site. Instead I would like to address some of the comments listed in other reviews.

Comparing this drive to my other brand, this drive is a little larger. However, anytime you have something sticking out of the USB on your laptop it can get in the way or accidentally hit, no matter what the size.

True there is not way to put a lanyard on the drive, but it does have a case with a hook for a lanyard. This is a much better idea for transporting because the drive is protected in the case.

The transfer speed of this drive is many times faster than my other drive. I transferred 7gb of files in less than 8 minutes and without any corrupt files.

The mechanism for opening and closing the drive is a little odd, but I have had no problems. It just takes a little getting use to. Plus, you do not have to worry about misplacing a cap.

The issues a few reviewers had are very minor to me. I personally really like this drive because it works great, it is fast and has a lot of space.

5 out of 5 stars Completely Satisfied.......2007-10-04

I spent the additional money for the Contour to take advantage of the increased transfer rates. I am completely happy with the performance, the hardware, and the connection mechanism (which others have complained about).
I installed Linux (Fedora) on the drive and use it as my portable operating system, and backup for my office machine. I have had the drive in service for five months, used every day with no problems. On one occasion I timed the transfer of a just over one GB, it took 70 seconds.
The drive is by far my largest in physical size, but that is a very small factor in light of the high performance. For machines that I have difficulty reaching the USB ports I use an extension (wire) with no problems. The leather storage pouch is a nice bonus, since I have dropped mine a few time on the concrete (durable).
