SanDisk Cruzer Blade USB Flash Drive 8GB

I’ve been using this SanDisk Cruzer Blade 8GB for a few years, and it’s been an excellent little flash drive. The design is slim, lightweight, and easy to carry around—it fits comfortably on a keychain or in a pocket without adding bulk. Performance is solid for a USB 2.0 device. File transfers are smooth and consistent, ideal for storing documents, presentations, music, or small media collections. While it won’t match the speed of newer USB 3.0 drives, it’s perfectly adequate for everyday use and quick backups. I also appreciate the reliability. SanDisk has always been a trustworthy brand for me, and this drive has not disappointed. It was recognized instantly by both my PC and laptop with no setup required. Overall, this is a dependable, affordable, and well-designed flash drive that does exactly what you expect. Perfect for school, work, or just having a backup of important files. Highly recommended.

This is an excellant memory stick. It's small so don't lose it but you won't have trouble finding a place to put it as it won't take up much space. The thing I really like is that there is a back up facility that comes with each stick called the Vault where you can store your saved files on line, so if something happens to your memory stick you don't lose the saved files. The only fault I can find with it is that it has no cover so the USB connection is left unprotected. I bought a small food storage box to store my memory sticks in so that there's less likely hud of getting dirt in the USB end. I bought the 8GB so there's plenty of memory and for a really good price too which was the main thing that persuaded me to buy this one in the first place! I've found no problem with speed etc. I would certainly buy more if and when I need any more memory storage. It's an all round good stick!

I have used Sandisk Cruzer Flash Drives for years and I had no hesitation in ordering this great drive when my 4GB was proving inadequate. What did surprise me when I unpacked it was the size of the unit; it's half the size of my last Cruzer Drive (4GB). Having looked locally I was faced with paying twice to three times the cost of this drive for what to me were inferiour products. Although the drive comes with its own security software I used TrueCrypt(Open Source) to encrypt the whole drive; with AES & TwoFish encryption it meets my needs and provides some peace of mind if, horror of horrors, the drive should be lost. So far the drive has been used with XPHome and Vista and has been flawless in its operation, registering quickly on both systems and is both fast to read and write large files. Of plastic construction the drive feels, in everyday use, as robust as my other Cruzers and I look forward to many years of faithful service. Great product, great price, Amazon rocks...!

A lot of the review on here are complaining about slow speeds, or failure when copying large files. I use this to have an on the go copy of all of my photos and documents, and once a week select the entire folder from my user files and copy it across. In the months since I have been using this I have had no issues with transfer failures and it had worked perfectly as advertised. This memory stick does feel quite cheap, and the low density plastic is quite vulnerable to scratching, but that is probably because I have it attached to a key-chain - which I recommend doing as this is probably the smallest USB memory stick I have ever used. I don't use the bundled software as it was quite clunky and took up room - so I formatted the stick soon after recieving it to rid myself of the less-than-great user experience. In conclusion, a perfectly functional memory stick in a tiny package - it's the best I have ever owned in both capacity and looks, as well as function. The only issue I have: Amazon have halved the price since I bought it.

Good value

Can recommend this item

The USB itself seems fine, but the delivery via DPD was terrible as usual. Sellers need to stop using DPD.

I was looking for a USB flash drive to use in my new TV. The problem is that when you search for USB flash drive in Amazon, there are literally hundreds and hundreds of items to look at. Why did I chose this one? Well, SanDisk is a brand I have used in the past and I have had no issues. It is a known brand. I wanted at least 8GB of memory, and when you compare this particular item in terms of features and cost, to be honest, this one stands up very well. Once it arrived, I had the drive in my TV within seconds, as it is a plug and play device. No issues at all. Works very well indeed. And it is so small... Highly recommended.

Très bonne clef que tout le monde connait, j'en ai une autre qui a facilement 5 ans (même modèle). Elle n'a pas de problème de mémoire mais le plastique au niveau de la prise s'est cassée (sans affecter la connexion) Je recommande

Non sarà certamente una delle chiavette più veloci sul mercato, ma non le ho trovato nessun difetto. Acquistata per una cifra intorno ai 5 euro, funziona egregiamente per trasferire file. Molto pratico il buco che permette di attaccarle un cordino o un portachiavi (non inclusi). Funziona così bene che ormai non la uso più per trasferire file ma vi ho installato sopra Xubuntu, la versione completa, ed è diventata praticamente un "quasi-pc". Quasi perchè, avendola sempre con me, è molto pratica in caso di necessità: basta inserirla in un qualunque computer disponibile e avviarlo (tramite BIOS) dalla chiavetta e non dal disco fisso interno. In questo modo viene avviato Xubuntu presente sulla chiavetta, ed è come avere il proprio pc con se, con i programmi personali, dati del browser e tutto il resto sempre disponibili.

Perfecta para grabar un Linux Live USB.Estupendo diseño, para otros usos está disponible en 4 Gb 8Gb y 16 Gb
