U3 does not work with Windows Vista
A nice inexpensive drive. The U3 software does not work with Windows Vista - which may be a good thing reading some of the other reviews!

why does it not work?
I bought this for christmas but it does not work on my PC (XP). A message comes up saying check it is not write protected - how do I do this before I send it back?

Its odd because other pens drives work on my PC.

Hammer Time
I despise devices like the SanDisk U3. What pain and piece of junk. I took a 9 pound sledge hammer to mine and pulverized it on a concrete driveway. I'm much more satisfied with it now as I can tell no difference in its performance. Never again!

Fast, cheap and practical what else do you want?
I ordered what I though was this product but received something else due to an Amazon mistake. The shop I bought it from (TheComponentShop)was extremely helpful though and responded to my emails very fast. They replaced the product with the right one for no extra cost. I am very satisfied with their customer service.

About the product:

-The retactable usb port is the best feature of this product. No need to carry around extra caps which always end up getting lost.

-It is small compact and stylish

-Fast data access and transfer

-It contains the U3 software (google it to find out what it is) which is an added bonus in my opinion but if you don't like it you can set it not to auto run whenever you insert the drive (you can still run it manually) or even completely uninstall it to give you just a normal flash drive.

-Ridiculously cheap for 1Gb(~£7.50)

In conclusion this drive has everything you would want from a flash drive and a bit extra. Its a very nice an practical and for this price you would be crazy not to buy it.

A pain
This memory stick is a great device to have on you. It has a great design and has password protection. For it's performance it's also very cheap. ***WARNING***

This device does not work properly on all machines. If you own a Dell PC, it may not work. It doesn't on mine or on any other Dell PC that I know of. It may not work especially if you own XP Media Centre Edition, because it has a driver that blocks other drivers from being installed without your consent and goes onto the BSOD screen whenever you try. This is also similar to computers linked to a network. If you are a student at school or college, you network probably blocks anything that you try to install. I am a student and my Cruzer does not work all the time. Other than this, the device works very well and serves it's purpose without any hastle.
