3.0 out of 5 stars They changed the blue LED to amber...yuk!, January 4, 2009

By	Derek Diamond (Austin, Texas) - See all my reviews

The familiar Blue LED is now Amber just like the cheaper plastic Cruzer's have.
The finish is distinctly more silvery instead of the matte titanium design. It appears that the casing is no longer made of Liquidmetal® as were the 8/4/2gb models.
Ti Cruzer continues to ship with U3 Smart Technology enabled. However the majority of users choose to remove this using the U3 removal tool provided by Sandisk.
The 16gb no longer includes a pocket clip or lanyard but neither did the 8gb models.
The performance is unchanged compared to the 8GB model at 15MB/s read speed & 9MB/s write speed.
It appears that Sandisk decided to cut corners with the latest Titanium.
I would have rated this flash drive a 5 Star had Sandisk left well enough alone...

5.0 out of 5 stars expensive, but durable, December 29, 2008

By	Matt - See all my reviews

I buy the titanium cruzers because they're sturdier than plastic USB drives. I also own the 4GB version and never had to worry about it getting broken or even dinged when I dropped or stepped on it. This drive is similar in appearance to the other titanium cruzers, except that its LED is orange.

I verified that it doesn't require drivers on XP or Vista and is assigned a drive letter in Windows explorer.

The 7" x 0.5" x 5" dimensions listed are the dimensions of the blister pack, not the actual product. The cruzer's dimensions are 2.25" x 0.25" x 0.75". It doesn't extend much past the keys on my keychain. Just for reference, most house keys are 2" long.

1.0 out of 5 stars S-L-O-O-O-O-W, February 26, 2009

By	Paul Hossler "Paul" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Not even close to the advertised speed - It takes forever to read and write files to this thing. Blue light or amber light doesn't matter if you have to watch it for so long - they're both bad. I have a 8GB and I'm going back to it.

Writting a large number of files, it seems to just stop to catch it's breath, even with write caching enabled.

Very disappointed with SanDisk for this. Up until now, I've been very happy with the 4 other Titaniums I have

If I can't return this, then I'll give it to my son.
