Survivor, October 22, 2009Its been washed (also I don't recomend it), used in the dirt, dropped, and ran over by an office chair; still works. Did not care for the U3 service and turnned it off, maybe it will be better away from… Windows 2K. Previously used the 512MB cruzer and over the years I have lost all of the caps and the male end is bent out of alignment. The lack of caps on the titanium unit has been nice. I have yet to bend the end, but as you can tell above, I probably will try one day.
A Worthwhile Purchase, October 3, 2009Her first batch of soap turned out wonderfully
Great flash drive, August 27, 2009Best USB drive I've ever bought, and tough as hell!, August 23, 2009I've put this thing through hell. I wear it on a carabiner attached to a beltloop that is constantly crashing it against countertops, tables, desks, my keys, you name it. I've dropped it, stepped on it,… had someone throw it at the ground and even DRIVE OVER IT (granted it was a stock little Honda Civic,) but this thing still keeps on going. The part I love most about it is the fact that you can retract the usb adapter itself into the metal housing of the flash drive. There has been no more aggravating a moment as when you have a bunch of information (especially if it's for work!) on a flash drive and the tip decides one day nope, I don't feel like hanging on anymore, and breaks right off, rendering your USB flash drive completely useless. With this drive's retractable adapter, I never have to worry about it. Ever. I give this product the five stars it absolutely deserves. I wish every flash drive I've ever bought had been half as tough as this one. Sandisk has really hit the jackpot on this one.
would reccomend, August 16, 2009since the 512mb came out, I definately notice a decrease in density of the metal.
It just seems to be made cheaper. It still works great and would reccomend.

Reviewer Benny Har-Even says the Cruzer is "compact, rugged, fast and very affordable... really nothing here to find fault with."
Review: SanDisk Cruzer Titanium U3 USB Flash Drive, Benny Har-Even, Oct. 3, 2006
Schmid and Veltze test 12 drives, assessing access time, read-transfer and write-transfer capabilities, including the SanDisk Cruzer Titanium. It gets the highest praise for its "nice performance, great design and finish, and a bunch of software features."
Review: Summer 2006 Memory Stick Fashion Show, Patrick Schmid and Sebastian Veltze, Aug. 16, 2006
This dated review says the SanDisk Cruzer Titanium is the fastest flash drive tested, although not as fast as the manufacturer claims. It's called "stylish" with good features, including encryption, the review says. There are also about a dozen mostly positive user reviews.
