5.0 out of 5 stars 8GB and build like Fort Knox, October 31, 2008

By	J. A. Phillips "TweakerXP" (Spring Hill Tennessee) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have two of these now and I can't tellyou how rough I treat them. They are scratched up and dinged up and keep right on working. These little drives are tough as nails. You don't have to worry about losing some silly cap. You don't have to worry about some flimsy pastic shell cracking the first time you drop it.

Get one and see what I mean!! You won't be sorry!

I'm a GEEK and I approve of the SanDisk 8GB Titanium Drive!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Performance, Sturdy Case, June 16, 2009

By	Jeff Kraus (Orlando, FL USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

The first thing I did when I received this drive is download the Sandisk U3 Uninstaller from the Sandisk website. I don't need the U3 software, and having it my system tray (along with the extra read-only disk image mounted) just drives me crazy. I can definitely see benefits to having it, but since I don't use it, I got rid of it to clear up space.

After a clean FAT32 format, I popped this into my development box. At work, we have dozens of machines that need to have the exact same configuration for development and testing purposes. So I flipped the bit to make this drive bootable, copied the series of Red Hat Enterprise CD images to it, copied all of the apps and tools required by my team, and wrote a bash script to install all of these items one at a time.

Since it's bootable now, I can just plug it in and restart the box. The Red Hat Enterprise Linux installer will come on, wipe the hard drive and install a clean copy of the operating system without having to swap CD's. Then after a reboot I can put it in again and run the bash script, installing all of the necessary software. After appending some lines to fstab, bashrc, and hosts files, everything is as it should be.

Since we need to do this frequently, the drive gets a lot of use and is manhandled constantly. It holds up really well. The casing is metal, and shows no signs of flex. It has a nice weight to it, as well. The USB connection slides out from inside the case and locks into place -- far better than the "old style" port with plastic cap to cover it.

The speed is good, too -- it performs significantly faster than installing from CD's. It's faster because of its data transfer speed, as well as the fact that we don't have to swap out the 5 OS installer CD's and the 9 other software installer CD's that we need (not to mention the several applications normally downloaded from our server at a fraction of the transfer rate).

This is a great buy. I can't think of anything bad to say about it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Rock Hard, April 2, 2009

By	David Black (Franklin, PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Bugger went threw the wash and still works fine. Also lost it for a few days, Must of fell out of the car in the drive way. Had to of run it over a few times before finding it. Has a few scratches but works like it should.
