Product Description
The Cruzer Profile is a portable, hi-speed USB 2.0 flash memory storage drive with added personal security capability to safeguard data, images, presentations and other personal information. Fingerprint identification technology embedded in the device helps restrict access to only the designated user of the CruzerProfile. The stylish, compact Cruzer Profile is about the size of a pack of gum measuring at 60mm long, 24mm wide and 14mm in height. With included dual LED's, one LED indicates USB functionality and data transfer and the second one provides proper status during enrollment and authentication of the biometric fingerprint. The Cruzer Profile authenticates users when a finger when swiped across the device and an embedded identification sensor reads the fingerprint, gives approval and activates the drive. Usage of the Cruzer Profile will not require the loading of any applications on a computer. To provide a high degree of security and tamper protection, these images will not pass through or be placed on the computer at any time.
Customer Reviews:
drive has some compatibility issues between XP > vista .........2007-08-25
other reviewers are correct in that this drive does have compatibility issues between Windows XP and Windows Vista.
Pros:
- the drive can not be accessed without swiping a finger on the scanner, which unlocks the drive. attempts to format the drive will not work, even though it appears to be formatting. a error message will pop up and say it cannot be completed.
- although the drives software cannot be run, the drive still works the same way as in XP. (IE: is secure unless swiped with a finger)
Cons:
- in order to register your fingerprints you need windows XP because of the cruzer-profile wizard software. I am assuming because of vista's security settings some programs cant be run, (even though I have tried administrator mode)
- login software is not compatible with Windows Vista
just a reminder:
the drive can be used for both vista and XP systems, only after fingerprints are registered on XP first!!
Sandisk products NOT VISTA COMPATIBLE.......2007-07-23
Do not buy any Sandisk Products if your computer is running Vista.... You would think they have had enough time to get their drivers up to date..... So if you have Windows VISTA don't buy any of their products!!!!!!!!!!
Fingerprint sign-on works pretty well!.......2007-01-05
I have been using the Sandisk Cruzer Profile 512MB for about 2 months and have to say that it has not given me any problems with Windows XP and Winfdows 2000 machines. I use fingers on both hands and all swipe easily. It allows for single-handed swipes although the connection cord between the two parts (functions as a cap as well as a print reader)is a little stiff and can be tricky to hold. It is best to hold the cap/reader down with one hand and swipe the finger on the other.
Depending on how accessible the USB port is this is either easy or hard to do. Also, the speed of the Cruzer is good. I keep large files on it and use it with Roboform and it works great. Have't looked up the mbps but it is very rapid. About 1 sec for a 4 mb file.
The only real downside, if it is one, is that the Cruzer only uses software fingerprint recognition. It does not replace the PW and UID for windows' logon.
The software for site logons is crappy at best, but hey, they can't be scoring oin every category for that price.
Note that this does not work on MAC (clearly stated in manual, so read up before you buy!).
SanDisk Cruzer 512MB Flash drive.......2006-01-31
This flash drive is not compatible with Mac although it is advertised as being compatible with windows and Mac.
The ring that holds the the chain/loop is very weak and hence the flash drive constantly falls with the slightest hooks it gets,with 3 or more fall and the flash drive is unable to store information, the shock resistant is very low.
Besides the flaws it provide to be a good drive, can be a bit more handy,too bulky.
Good (not great) for PCs, but not compatible with Macintosh.......2005-12-28
I purchased the Cruzer so I could transfer files between computers quickly and easily. I have a PC and a Mac and was hoping this would make transferring files quicker. Despite what Amazon says, this drive will not work on a Mac. The software that automatically runs when the drive is plugged into the USB port that allows your fingerprint to unlock the drive is Windows only. The Sandisk website lists the drive as compatible with XP/2000/ME only.
I found the ads for this drive to be misleading. When it said "no software to be installed" I took it to mean that no software was needed at all. When you insert the flash drive in your USB port it auto-runs a program called "Cruzer Profile" that handles the locking and unlocking of the drive. Therefore the entire time this drive is plugged into your computer you will need this application running, but it is not technically installed on your computer (it is on the drive itself). I was hoping this was a purely hardware solution to biometrically secured flash (no software required for the computer).
The design is a bit awkward. The cable between the two parts is quite stiff and therefore as soon as you let go of the finger scanner it will again point away from you in just about every USB port imaginable. If you're incredibly unlucky like me your from USB port will leave the finger scanner both upside down and facing away from you. I was ready to make this tradeoff for a pure hardware approach to biometric secured flash. Seeing how this is a software approach like everyone else I cannot figure out why they went out of their way to design it different, but no better.
The CruzerPass application was a dissapointment for me. It is obviously PC only. It only works with Internet Explorer, but I almost exclusively use FireFox. Besides being a bit awkward to set up my biggest problem with it is that it cannot be activated once you surf to the website you want to use it for. I envisioned myself surfing around and when I got somewhere like my bank website, I'd swipe my finger and be instantly logged in. Unfortunately this is not how it works. You have click the system tray icon and select from a list of sites you previously set up. Upon selecting one, it launches Internet Explorer, asks you to swipe your finger and logs you in. So my complaint is that I have to totally change the way I browse now. Instead of launching IE and going to the website I want, I have to use this little application to launch IE for me.
The CruzerSync application (available from their website) also requires a PC to run, but resides on the flash drive. It works surprisingly well and I was impressed with it. It will cause Outlook 2003 and later to complain and stop letting you access your email until you relaunch Outlook. If you're a techie then you'll be interested to know the reason it causes a problem is that it accesses the personal folder file directly instead of using the outlook API. Outlook detects the application accessing the personal file directly and refuses to let you view your email anymore until you restart it.
What's missing?
Many of the biometric flash drives on the market today offer an application that will log you into your PC by swiping your finger. That would be a neat feature for those of us who have to change our passwords monthly. My guess why this feature was omitted: it would require installing a program on the PC.

Product Description
With today's flat video displays and drop-down screens, protruding center channels can distract from your decor. If your home theater requires a discreet center-channel speaker, the W100 on-wall/in-wall is a perfect solution that doesn't compromise hi-fidelity sound or dialog clarity.
The new W100 provides the kind of transparent, neutral, wide-range sound you expect from Axiom, without any of the weaknesses that plague other in-wall speakers. Other in-walls rely on the wall cavity to tune the bass output, resulting in a speaker whose performance varies from wall to wall and room to room.Additionally, the drivers' rear output produces distorted sound in the neighboring rooms.
Overcoming these drawbacks, the W100 features a fully integrated enclosure that recesses into the wall, combined with an attractive exterior baffle portion that keeps the speaker's woofers and tweeter away from the sound-degrading effects of the wall's surface.
The W100 on-wall/in-wall hybrid center speaker preserves the sonic clarity of its stand-alone equivalent, the VP100. The dual 5 1/4-inch aluminum cone woofers and 1-inch titanium tweeter provide exceptional detail and wide-angled dispersion in medium to small rooms.
A supplied self-clamping frame anchors the speaker firmly to the wall when the screws are tightened. The series is available in a variety of attractively-finished front baffles to suit any decor.
