Very Affordable, Quality Storage November 20, 2008 Jon Lee (Los Angeles, CA) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This flash drive is great for college students, TAs, etc. Documents, spreadsheets, presentations, everything fits nice and conveniently on this little 4GB flash drive with durable titanium casing. I've had issues in the past with durability and longevity of plastic cased USB flash drives. Usually you just toss it in your bag or pocket and go and it clashes around in there with keys, pens, phones, etc. Very durable, VERY affordable.
Comes with U3 optional software (PC only). But I can plug-n-play easily with my Mac and PCs. Also can register device only and company provides method to back up information online. How convenient!
Great little drive August 28, 2008 Jan M. Chase (Hockley, TX United States) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I got this flash drive for work. I am a designer via AutoCad, and I can take ALL of my company blocks, ALL my personal blocks, ALL of my prior design work (10+ years worth), and ALL of my custom menus with me to use on any computer that has AutoCad already on it. I have everything at my fingertips, and still have plenty of room left on the drive to design and store even the most complicated of parts and drawings. I recommend the SanDisk SSCZ28-004G-All Cruzer Titanium Plus 4 GB USB Flash Drive. It is a very good product for the price.
Very Happy November 30, 2008 A. Garcia (Colorado, USA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is my third Sandisk Cruzer Titanium; moving up from an older 1GB model.
I need an exceptionally durable USB flash drive for my job. My preference is for one that is built like a tank, but looks like a Mercedes. Performance is also important.
The Titanium series fits my needs perfectly. I know that they are not among the fastest USB flash drives available, but they're no slouches either. In everyday use, I find these units to be relatively fast.
I know that this is a matter of preference, but I can't stand the U3 software that comes preloaded on these units. Fortunately it is easy to remove the software, although you must reformat the unit afterward to remove hidden files left behind.
BeInSync Backup Service OUT OF BUSINESS December 22, 2008 Ron Gonzalez (Boston) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
While I normally would agree with some of the negative comments posted, there are a few caveats to the negative comments.
1. The so called "annoying" features come in rather handy when you lose your drive. This is exactly the reason I ended up buying this thing and I plan on subscribing to all these services. I had all my data including my Roboform 2 go log in data and lost my drive. I don't have a backup on my work laptop, and I'm traveling so I won't have access to my back up until I return home. If I would have had this service, I'd already be back up and running because I can just buy a new drive (like i just did) and it would sync everything back up. What a lifesaving convenience.
2. U3 and the U3 apps are quite useful. Anytime I go to a PC without Firefox, without my favorite Editors, I have a quick and easy way to launch using the U3 Launchpad. I don't have to go digging in folders stored on the drive to launch a u3 copy of Firefox.
3. Backup is great, but background/transparent backup is even better. This drive backs itself up automatically. Yes, this is a pay service, it comes with a 6 month free trial, and yes, I definitely think its worth it. You don't have to remember to do anything. Especially considering that you will most likely lose your drive when you least expect it. When you do, the first thing that comes to your mind is to try to remember what important stuff you had on it. Now you don't have to worry about it.
4. Boomerang-It provides a free 1 or 2 year subscription. This is a little tag that you attach to the drive with a serial number on it. If you lose the drive some one can call the 800 number toll free or log in to the website and type in the serial number and return it to you. The way I see it, something is better than nothing, if some one finds your drive and decides to keep it, there's nothing you can do about that. But at least this way if they do decide to be honest and return it for a small reward, then at least you are providing an easy way for them to do so anonymously. Perhaps a lost and found department at an airport can use it to notify you that they have found your item, and you don't have to disclose any personal information about yourself to get your lost item back. In retrospect, I wish I had this on my lost Cruzer.
Like I said, I usually agree with the posters here on excess junk software. But in this case the few utilities that this drive comes with, IMHO are well worth it.

Great product February 13, 2009 S. singh Dhamrhat (PA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Great drive as long as you uninstall the U3 crap software that is loaded on the unit by default. After you uninstall it, you have a great and rugged USB drive.
As for the backup service which you can sign up for - this is yet another unnecessary expense you don't REALLY need in your life... sure, it's great and useful but you can accomplish the same principal by making sure the contents of your drive and also on one of your computers. Tadaaaaaaaa!
I generally copy the contents of my drives onto my computer maybe once a month. You can do it more often if your data changes very often.
