- The Unbreakable Blackhole of Data
I used to have a great flashdrive made by PNY. I say great because it survived being washed and dried twice, without any data loss, it was light weight and it performed it's main function: to hold data for transport.

Then it fell out of my pocket and into the mechanism of our recliner- unbeknownst to me. Later, my wife was trying to put the foot rest down on the recliner, but it just kept sticking. Not one to give up, she just kept slamming her feet, down and down. Finally I flipped the chair over to see what was the matter. There was my PNY, wedged bwteen a couple of metal arms, mangled as though chewed by some kind of animal.

But it still worked.

Yep, after bending the end back into shape with pliers and screwdriver I actually saved my data!

Still it taught me a lesson. So for Christmas I wished for an unbreakable flash drive.

My wife got me the Cruzer Titanium 512.

What Perfection! I thought. Able to resist 2600 lbs of pressure, encased in titanium- the same wonder medal used by the Soviet Navy to construct their dreaded Alpha Attack Subs!

It worked fine for almost three months.

Then, space and time folded in on itself and the Cruzer ate my data.

At least, I assume it ate my data. It's not like I went swimming with it. Or dropped it in lava. Or used it as a hockey puck. Or let the baby slobber on it. Nope, my cruzer lived a life of linty softness, residing in my pocket, or on my dresser for the bulk of it's life. Until needed for data duty, then it was carefully slipped into a USB port at home or work.

Were I the Human Torch, or even the Hulk, such a pockety-life might explain some kind of wear and tear on the scant chips making up the Cruzer. But I'm not.

So, without much ado, my Cruzer just stopped working. Sure, I get a pretty blue flash from the light when I plug it in, then my computer(s) declare it an Unknown USB device and I am sat staring at my Unbreakable Flash Drive, chills running up my spine as I try to recall all the data I had there, and nowhere else.

Bottom line: It Sucks.

If this thing actually stored data, it'd probably be great. It feels indestructible. But that's really a moot point now, as it will store less data then I can write on a rock with a ball point pen.

Save your money, that's my advice.

- Cool-Looking Piece of Crap
Yes, the drive looks cool, and the titanium casing is virtually indestructible, but the actual durability of the flash drive itself is laughable. If you are considering this drive, please look at the reviews. While many praise it, there are quite a few people who have indicated that the drive has failed them. I have had mine for less than 6 months, and I have babied it. I typically carry it in my shirt pocket for goodness sakes! Despite my careful treatment, the drive has stopped working. I personally suggest that the would-be buyer look into Lexar. I have had a 128mb lexar drive for several years, and it is now what I am using.

- Good buy
Bought this for my son (in highschool) to transfer data between home and school - no issues yet. Sturdy, good value for money.

- Rubbish...
Stopped working after about 2 months. Brought it back to Circuit City and exchanged for another... That one stopped working as well after 3 months.

LOST MY DATA FRIGGIN TWICE!!!! nothing irreplaceable just about 6 hours of reports and spreadsheets for a project... to frustrated to return it again... its garbage. BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

- Failed after minimal use
I researched all USB thumb drives before I bought this one as I thought it would last me a while. I figured I would have daily use for it, but it was only used a few times a week. One day I dropped it, and the little button that slides the usb attachment out no longer "stuck" in the out position, which meant you had to hold it in place when you inserted it into an outlet. That was a minor annoyance. THEN after only a few months, it just failed on me for no reason whatsoever. Now I am good with my products, and nothing ever fails on me that quickly UNLESS it's a faulty product. This is one of them. I highly don't recommend it. I love SanDisk, but this thing is not one of their better products. Get a Cruzer Crossfire instead, preferbly one that doesn't needs to be "pushed out".
