Customer Review: Pleased.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a pretty awesome product. My old USB jump drive broke when I accidentally snapped the USB plug and body in half, but with the reclining function added, there's a lesser chance that that can happen again. On top of that, there's no hassle over putting a protective cap on the USB because it doesn't require one!
I chose the titanium cased Cruzer for obvious reasons; it's absolutely necessary that I protect all my data by all means. The only drawback to it that I can find is that it makes the device a tad heavier than most products of the same data capacity, but the comfort the titanium gives you defeats it.
The U3 program that runs automatically when you plug in the stick was annoying at first, but then I realized how useful it was and I agree that it's a must! Through U3 you can check the remaining capacity, change the language preference, check for software updates and set a password. Or if you want, you can uninstall it but I prefer it to be on.
Finally, I'm excited about the pricing. Considering I got my last USB drive, which was only 1G, for over 60 dollars at the time, I couldn't be happier. Whey the heck didn't they make it cheaper sooner!?

People who are looking for a generic, 2GB thumb drive need to look elsewhere as this one is jam packed full of features thanks to the incredibly handy U3 technology. I'm a computer tech and I use the Avast! Antivirus/malware scanner on it almost daily. Not to mention I have tons of other programs loaded on that help make my job easier. I wouldn't work a day without this thing, and I can't believe I went so long without a U3 drive.
Another really great feature is the liquid titanium casing. My coworker has the normal black plastic ones. Although they're just as good software wise, their cases flex under pressure and make a slight plastic squeak. Mine can be run over by a truck and not receive a single dent from it. It's really incredible how sturdy this thing is.
Overall it's an amazing product. The software is great, the drive is fast, the storage is large enough for almost any files I need to transfer, the casing is sturdy and it looks great. Oh, and unlike the plastic black ones that glow orange? These glow blue. Not that special, but hey I'm a sucker for shiny objects/LEDs.
Customer Review: Excellent drive !!!

This is my third Sandisk cruzer micro flash drive (all are working fine). My first unit (Cruzer Micro 512Mb) has been working for more than 2 years as my Keychain without incidents, until I replaced it some months ago with a Cruzer micro U3 of 2Gb (plastic cover).
Now, with this Titanium Cruzer Micro 2Gb in my hand, I'm impressed with the quality of construction and very satisfied with the speed improvement compared with the first generation of cruzer micro.
In some reviews I've read customer complaints (I had some too) about the U3 software included with my first U3 drive.
I think the software has been noticeably improved from some months ago when I purchased the plastic cruzer micro U3.
The U3 software included with the new titanium drive is very stable and trouble free, until now, at least. The software version is not a real problem, due it's very easy to update from the U3 application directly.
At this point I'm only waiting for a Titanium version of 4Gb or 8Gb.
Customer Review: No need to look any further

I've owned and tested many USB flash drives. This one is faster than all but one I tested ($300 4 GB hardware encrypted drive). Don't mess with the others. I thought that this was the same memory as the regular SanDisk (plastic) but it's not. This drive is about four times faster. I have a soft spot for anything Titanium (even though it's just a coating). I've carried this drive on my keys for a few months now and you can hardly tell. I did make one modification because I don't like the existing split ring for hanging. I popped the unit open and drilled and added a cord to the top so that it hangs better on my key ring. I don't recommend this as it is press fit and it may not stay together after you do this.
PROS: FAST! STRONG!
CONS: Just the way it hangs. I would prefer that the split ring be in the center of the drive, not on the corner.
You can't beat this drive. I paid more than twice as much when I purchased mine and never thought twice about it once I realized the difference.
Customer Review: Top of the game

SanDisk's sliding connector is definitely the best around. After four months of abuse, the connector is rock stable and shows no sign of fragility. The casing is only very slightly scratched despite being mixed together with keys, spare change, and an occassional pocket knife. It's simply the most durable thumb drive I'm come across.
I'm not sure what the U3 scandal is about. I use TweakUI to disable autorun on all devices. And I'm a disk image junkie (Acronis is my first choice now that Symantec has corrupted all things good.) So although U3 support software may have been installed on my system early on, it is not on my system now nor will it be in the forseeable future. In other words, I don't see why U3 would be a show stopper. I certainly don't agree with assigning the drive just one star in protest. It's easy enough to circumnavigate the issue altogether.
Great device. I wish more usb mini devices would adopt the same retracting connector. The tooth paste caps are worthless.
