    Strengths: Nothing really. For those that say capacity, there's tons of other ones out there that have as much and more capacity.

    Weaknesses:Very slow writes and loss of data

    Overall Evaluation: First off, this is my 3rd and last SanDisk USB drive I will ever buy. They're pretty cheap and that's probably why they suck so much. Let me explain...FYI, I never use their U3 software. I just use the drive as a backup drive.I started off with the 1GB, moved on to 2GB, and now have the 4GB model. All 3 were very slow at writing. Imagine sitting in your office backing up your data and waiting for hours at the end of the day. Extremely irritating.The first 2 I had both crashed and lost data, never to be recovered again. Imagine losing your photos and work documents. Good thing I made backups to CDs.And yes, I made sure that the USB drive was optimized for performance (in Windows hardware properties). Made very little difference in writing. I would recommend Verbatim USB drives. They've never failed me yet, and they're fast.

    Duration of ownership: 2 Months

    Strengths: Capacity

    Weaknesses:size, won't play DVD movies, slow copy, flimsy

    Overall Evaluation: I've had this for a few months now. I rarely use it as it's too much of a hassle. The connector doesn't fit perfectly into 2 of my USB ports on my desktop, and 1 on my laptop, it goes in at an angle. Everytime I try to copy files to it, I get errors. The software that it comes with sucks too!Don't waste your $$$ with this POS, buy something else.

    Duration of ownership: 3 Weeks

    Strengths: Large capacity

    Weaknesses:Slow

    Overall Evaluation: I can't believe how slow mine is. It has taken over 45 minutes to write a 1 gig file. I had hopes that I would be able to transport image files from work to home on this flash drive and not have to write discs all of the time, but I find I am waiting constantly for the Cruzer 8 GB to write. I will have to chalk this one up to experience and NEVER buy one again.
