  This is the worst experience I ever had with a flash drive.
  
  Four corrupt files later (never had that happen before), it required formatting(!). Great! Now, EVERYTHING is GONE.
  
  But wait...that's what Tech Support told me to do. Happily, I had most of the important stuff backed up...but WOW. And when I explained that I wanted a refund, they told me it was WORKING FINE!!! FINE?!? My data is GONE! How is that FINE?!

• Great little All in One Resource Device, for your Data & Programs | Rating: | Date: 2008-09-04

  As I started writing this review, I almost knocked off one star (down to 4), because the casing is just a little flimsy...not bad, but you have to treat it nicely. Also, the thumb switch is really cool, until you start trying to plug it into ports, on multiple computers. Some Dell ports are a nightmare. However I learned, a long time ago, to always carry a small USB extension, after watching a former boss dirty his knees, each day, trying to plug in his USB flash drive.
  
  The sliding thumb switch issue is easily resolved, by keeping a short extension handy, and the main reason I am not reducing the number of stars is due to one, important factor:
  
  I have accidentally washed this thumb drive, several times, due to lack of sleep (college), and/or not drinking enough coffee, before starting laundry.
  
  Each time, the drive has not only survived (though I had to use a hair dryer, to dry it up, once!)...but it has always performed without any problems.
  
  The case may seem a bit flimsy, but it seems to lock out the water, and prevents the chips from being drenched!
  
  Also, the U3 system is very nice. You can import email, or do a quick Thunderbird "hack" to transfer your email, into the drive. You can walk around with all of your bookmarks saved, and all of the U3 options make college life much easier! If you are doing a big research project, U3 is the way to go. You can bookmark, save, download, email, use your college website, and the Library resources...save all of your work...and dash off, to class.
  
  Same with office workers. Just plug in the U3, and enter your password, if you keep it locked, then open your Apps, and you can "pick up where you left off," as they say around this area.
  
  However, if you want more storage space, and more options.... Please see my review for Corsair 32GB Flash Voyager USB 2.0 Flash Drive - CMFUSB2.0-32GB.

  I love my SanDisk 8GB Cruzer. I already have a 2GB by SanDisk which I also love but the 8GB storage capacity is great. Also enjoy being able to download programs with the Smart U3. Judy L.

• Great Drive for storage and can also run programs from it. | Rating: | Date: 2008-09-03

  When I plugged it into my computer it asked me if I was going to run programs from it or use it for storage. Cool little option on this flash drive.
  
  Also, the price to GB ratio is a great value. I would recommend this to all my friends.
  
  Also the slider is nice and i hate having caps to lose.

  Having a digital camera you need a place to store all those pictures. I use my 8 gb to store those. I tell my friends I have an 8 gb and they say that must have cost a fortune. I tell them no I got it off Amazon. Don't have three flash drives sittin around why not just one with everything on it.
