Customer Reviews
Sandisk 8GB Cruzer USB Flash Drive
Works as advertised but the casing shell is made of very cheap, flimsy, brittle plastic. The alternative is the fantastic titanium version but that is a lot more expensive. I'd rather Sandisk make one version of this in a shell that was more rugged than the crappy plastic but less expensive than the titanium. Maybe a stainless steel or aluminum case? Or maybe wrap the plastic shell in rubber like Corsair does with their lower end USB flash drives.

Blue Screen Issues
After inserting the Cruzer Micro into my usb port it caused my computer to crash each time. I contacted SanDisk tech support with no improvement. I would get a blue screen and Windows would prompt me to remove this hardware.

Died after a couple of days
it's a shame that companies nowadays think just go and buy a new one, even if you have warranty, it's a hard fight you have ti deal with and at the end they wont give you a replacement.
Treat yourseal and buy Kingston instead.
