Product Description

From the manufacturer

The SanDisk Cruzer Mini delivers maximum storage capacity for its miniscule size. 2 GB gives you plenty of room to transfer, share and store your precious pictures, videos, music and data. The SanDisk Cruzer Mini is USB 2.0-certified, so you can transfer data incredibly fast (USB 1.1 compatible, too), and it’s so small, it fits easily in tight-fitting dual-stack USB ports.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too Slow, April 17, 2006

This review is from: SanDisk Cruzer Mini 2GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive (SDCZ2-2048-A10, Retail Package) (Personal Computers)

I've used two brands of USB Flash drives, Lexar JumpDrive and Cruzer Mini. Of the Lexar brand I've used both Usb 1.1 and Usb 2 drives, and I have to say that the Cruzer Drive is closer in speed to USB 1.1 than the stated USB 2. Of course, this is in relation to transfers of a large number of small files. The Cruzer Mini can handle large files fairly well. (Although, it is still slower.)

For example:
-------------JumpDrive 2.0 Pro.....Cruzer Mini 2.0...Lexar JD 1.1
1 71.7GB file......7-8 sec............16-18 sec...........199 sec
28MB 916 files....96 sec..............470 sec.............555 sec

(Note, these are write speeds)

The numbers speak for themselves. The Cruzer drives are clearly closer old USB 1.1 speeds than USB 2. They're nice and cheap, but if you want performance, I'd suggest something else.

I use my Cruzer Mini constantly at work. It's great for quick data transfers, small utilities, drivers or patching systems that are off the network. It's slim and lightweight enough that I tend to drop it in my shirt pocket and forget about it. You probably see where this is going...but yes, it's been run through the washing machine at least four times. What may be even more impressive is that it's been run through the dryer three times (once I did catch it after being washed and saved it from the dryer, allowing it to air dry instead). It still works as well as the day I took it out of the package, never missing a beat.

We purchased a number of Cruzer Minis to pass out to employees at work. Everyone has been totally satisfied with the ease of use, the data transfer speed, the security features built in, and most of all the 2 MB of storage space. The SanDisk Cruzer Mini is a quality product and is definitely worth the price!
