SanDisk 32GB Cruzer USB 2.0 Flash Drive (SDCZ36-032G-A11, Retail Package) Review

I have purchased many thumb drives from many vendors, all of which have been very quick and handy. I have also attended conferences where thumb drives were given out as prizes, or because they contained copies of the presentation. These drives are usually painfully slow, and a complete waste of packaging.

Sadly, this 32GB Cruzer is in the waste-of-packaging camp. I'm actually sorry I spent the money on the product and the next-day Prime shipping. The drive itself is unusably slow if you are transferring files over a few megabytes...and since it's 32GB, you're probably purchasing it for just that reason. Copying 4GB of image and video files takes about 45minutes to an HOUR!!

In addition to the fact that the drive is insanely slow, SanDisk has also found it necessary to include a fake CD drive on the device that contains their garbage encryption software and whatnot. These manufacturers need to learn that NOBODY wants these partitions, especially novice users that probably have Autorun turned on.

If I could, I would return this drive immediately. I'm that dissatisfied. I won't be making this mistake twice- Sorry SanDisk.

Buy it here now!
