Customer Reviews

The best flash drive ever!
I had a few flash drives and I would throw them in my bag all the time - before I knew it they would die at the most inappropriate times (usually about 6 months later). I had the 512 Kb version of the Titanium now for well over a year and it still works great. This is the first drive where I am confident that my data is safe.

I just recently bought the 2.0 GB model and of course it is even better since I can now store 4x more pictures, music, Excel files, etc.

I have used SanDisk products for about six years now and I never had a problem.

Spectacular USB 2.0 Storage
Very reliable! Just be careful not to build up a static charge as you walk across the carpet and discharge into the Thumb drive! ...That's what I did! And Sandisk honored the lifetime warranty and replaced it, even when I told them how careless I'd been.

Now I always touch and ground myself before removing from my computer.

Don't be fooled - "Titanium" Cruzer can't survive static electricity
Don't be fooled by SanDisk's claims of indestructibility for this "Titanium" Cruzer model. It may be able to withstand a crushing force of 2,000 pounds, but it was no match for a simple jolt of household static electricity, which fried my 1 GB version of the product within three weeks of my purchasing it, causing me to permanently lose all of my data (which of course I had not backed up). Data recovery services were unable to get the drive to light up or recover my data - they can only assist in "undeleting" deleted files, if the drive will actually mount. The static electricity prevented the drive from ever being mountable again.

I'm quite disappointed with SanDisk's response to the problem when I called. In my experience, their products are generally high quality and their tech support is good. But not in the case of this cursed model of Titanium Cruzer. I wish I'd read some of the online reviews before purchasing this model -- tons of people are having this same problem and poor response from SanDisk. The metal casing that provides the model's "sturdiness" also puts the electronic innards at great risk.

SanDisk Tech Support was only willing to replace the unit with the exact same defective model -- which is totally unethical, in my opinion, given the numbers of anecdotal reports I see with people having the exact same problem I had. SanDisk was not willing to replace my defective Titanium model 1 GB (SDCZ3-1024-A10) with the newer Titanium model 1 GB (SDCZ7-1024-A1) that has a safer plastic casing and U3 technology.

SanDisk - if you're reading this - are you sure you're willing to risk your reputation on your miserable handling of this situation?

Consumers, please, do yourself a favor and stay away from this model and buy the newer one with a safer plastic housing and U3 technology. Otherwise, your data will be at risk of permanent loss with a simple zap of static electricity.
