SanDisk Cruzer Micro user reviews (1GB, silver)

Pros Very small; low cost

Cons Nasty software cannot be removed

Summary My 1 GByte cruzer micro has "U3" capability. This means it will infect your computer with some sort of software. I don't know what the software is supposed to do, or what it is doing on the sly, but it is causing me tons of headaches.

Instead of appearing as a standard drive, which was the case with my previous 256 MByte and 512 MByte SanDisk Cruzer Micro USB drives, this one appears as two drives. One of them is a CD drive and one is a regular drive.

After various attempts to delete the offending software, SanDisk tech support told me it could not be done. Meanwhile, I cannot use my USB CD/DVD reader.

I do not know what other harm the infection may cause, but I am not happy. I want my CD to work.

SanDisk tech support says:

"Unfortunately the software cannot be removed completely from your flashdrive."

SanDisk, of course, states that the added features are worth any problems that may arise. I just want my USB drive to be a drive, nothing more.

My suggestion is to find some other company's product that doesn't load things behind your back. There must be others that are just as small and cheap.

Pros a lot of memory and tiny

Cons none so far

Summary dude 15$ for 1gb(comp usa weekly ad) and its from a goood maker, super good deal its freaking awesome

Pros Easy to use, fast file transfers

Cons None that I have seen so far

Summary This is my first experience using usb memory sticks. I really didn't think it was going to be so easy. All I had to do was plug it in and in seconds I was storing files on it.
