SanDisk Cruzer Blade 8GB (5 pack) USB 2.0 Flash Drive Jump Drive Pen Drive SDCZ50 - Five Pack w/ (2) Everything But Stromboli (TM) Lanyard

Four of the five USB drives had only 196MB of usable space on them. It turns out that they all had two partitions: a very small one that could read data and a larger space that could not. Windows offered to format the latter but then said that it could not complete the task. I eventually got two of them working by reformatting to exFAT -- the file format with which they should have arrived. The others wouldnt format at all, and for one, even that 196MB was useless for transferring files from one computer to another. Very shoddy. No response yet to my feedback to the seller. A month later, and still no response. Now the two that were working after my fix are not. These are junk. I got ripped off for $30 and theres no way to return them. DO NOT BUY!

Used to store the photos from my old laptop, which is about to give out. Have stored all my photos and still have room on the first flash drive. Excellent purchase.

Sandisk is a company that I trust. I bought some really cheap flash drives a while ago and half of them didnt work at all. These drives, while not lightning fast are great for general file transfer needs.

These items came just as described...five USB drives and two lanyards. Im not sure why they didnt just include five lanyards or none at all, but I dont plan on using them anyway, so no loss to me. The drives are very light and are made with plastic shells so they dont appear to be very durable if used heavily. I purchased these to have a few boot devices on hand for IT work at my job. Since they will be stored in a case at all times and only used when working on computers, I needed something cheap, small and lightweight. These fit the bill perfectly. As I mentioned, I wouldnt recommend these drives for heavy use and I probably wouldnt want to carry this in my pocket all day, everyday. It wouldnt take much to snap this drive in half. Functionally speaking, they work perfectly and Ive had no issues reading or writing from/to them. I have included a photo to show just how small they are compared to a half dollar.

The items were shipped as scheduled, packaging was good. From the description, I believed that I was buying the original Cruzer type device with a flashing red light in the middle, so In that sense, I was disappointed. Also, there were five devices but only two lanyards instead of five, so I am short of three of them. it makes no sense to me. Despite these issues, I like all products from SanDisk and their products are attractively priced. I definitely recommend this vendor.

Its now a month past the return window, and I plug one in and it doesnt show on the computer. Plug a different new one in and it works fine. No idea whether its a Seller issue, a Sandisk issue, or just something that happens. To avoid what happened to me, open them all up immediately and test them. They appear cheap--but how am I supposed to know what a knockoff looks like or performs like these days?

I have been burned by SanDisk Cruzer drives in the past, some have a little partition that cant be removed and its filled with some PC crapware. Fortunately these drives dont have that problem and they work great. I use them to give band members recordings of songs to learn, such a nice departure from making CDs. Love the price on these, band members rarely return USB sticks so low cost is much appreciated. Ill be ordering more if theyre still available at this price.

Very good

These work fine and are a good basic storage flash drive for work or home.

These 8GB SanDisk thumb drives worked just fine nd were pretty cheaply priced.... The lanyards are a joke, unless youre a hobbit.
