This review is from: SanDisk SDCZ2-128-A10 128 MB Cruzer Mini USB 2.0 Flash Drive (Personal Computers)
As others have stated, this little drive is really great. It's fast and convenient. I have one thing to reiterate, one to clarify, and one to suggest.Reiterate: This thing is plug-and-play on various platforms. I have plugged it in to a bunch of machines. Desktops, laptops, Windows 2000, XP, and even Mac. Every time it has installed itself and been another hard drive within about 30 seconds at worst. USB 2.0 is definitely faster, but it's fine with 1.1.Clarify: I have plugged this into the backs of machines with pretty tight, recessed USB ports with no problem. Of course having a hub or port on the front of the machine is better, but it's not absolutely necessary.Suggest: If you want to synchronize your flash drive with a directory on your hard drive, go to Tucows and get an application like SyncBack. I setup a cruzermini folder on my hard drives at home and work and now I synchronize them to my cruzer mini drive. It's really handy. Keeps everything up-to-date.

A Must-Have for Laptop Users!!!!,

This review is from: SanDisk SDCZ2-128-A10 128 MB Cruzer Mini USB 2.0 Flash Drive (Personal Computers)
I use my laptop on a daily basis. A Flash Memory Drive makes it very convenient for transferring files from my PC to Laptop and from my Laptop to other Laptops.- I am using Windows XP which detects the Flash Drive upon Plug-In.
- Be sure to check that your computer/laptop is USB 2.0 compatible. It makes a huge difference in transfer speeds. It is backwards compatible but if your computer does not support USB 2.0 then it may not be worth paying more for a USB 2.0.
- Just remember that after you are done using the flash drive, you have to "remove hardware" by clicking on the icon on the lower right hand side of your desktop. Do this before pulling the Flash Drive out of the USB port.

Fine product - minor quibbles,

This review is from: SanDisk SDCZ2-128-A10 128 MB Cruzer Mini USB 2.0 Flash Drive (Personal Computers)
As stated in other reviews - this product works as advertised. I use it to transfer files between a PC and Mac at home, and transfer documents between home and work. It works great, and seems to transfer considerably faster when connected to my USB 2.0 card.Minor quibbles are that the hard plastic cap has cracked in several places. They do supply three caps in clear, smoke, and day-glo yellow. A polypropylene cap would have been more durable.The USB connector for the 128 MB version is closer to the side with the "Cruzer" label. It might not fit into some recessed USB ports like you'll find on many PC's. I've purchased the 256 MB version as a gift, and it's half the thickness, and is barely thicker than the width of the connector; the 128 MB version is twice as thick (and a little bit shorter). (As an aside, one USB flash drive that fits well in recessed ports is DiskOnKey - sold under their own brand name as well as Targus GoAnywhere, and FujiFilm.) Amazon was...Read more
