I was hesitant to buy this drive after reading many user
reviews that you cannot attach this drive to a keychain. I saw a couple of comments that users did
attach them which left me confused why most said you could not. Well I decided to buy it and hope it worked. I was able to finally attach it to my
keychain. My first attempt failed, I
tried using a small metal ring from a LED flashlight. The ring was too big to fit around the
pin. I than had an old lanyard lying
around that uses a nylon string that fit perfectly around the metal pin. In my opinion Sandisk blew it with the keychain
mount. The older Cruzers worked fine and
they included the keychain ring. Why the later models do not is very bizarre.
When you first plug your new Cruzer into your Windows system
you won’t be able to copy large files (>4gig) to the device. Sandisk is still formatting these drives with
FAT32. I recommend reformatting the
drive for NTFS. It’s a much more stable
file system to store our important files.
File transfers are still slow due to the USB 2.0
interface. I copied a 4.7gig file in 14
minutes.
What I have always liked about the Cruzer line is no cap is
required to cover the USB plug. The USB
plug retracts into the drive using a slider control that is easily moved with
your thumb. The drive also has a light
to indicate it’s on and blinks when data is being transferred to or from the
drive.
