My very first USB drive was one of the early Sony Microvaults. After having it replaced by the store about three times for breaking in the same manner all three times, they let me trade it for a standard SanDisk Cruzer.

Since then I have owned six SanDisk USB drives and only one has ever failed on me (of the six, the four that I still have, still work); in that case, SanDisk sent me a new one, no questions asked, and the new one still works fine more than three years later (SanDisk USB drives come with 1 or 3 year warranties depending on the model you buy). The very first one I got started cracking around the case about three or four years ago but it still works six or more years after I bought it.

My first three were standard Cruzers (two 256mb and one 512mb), my fourth was a 512mb Cruzer Titanium that I bought three or four years ago (that's the one that was replaced), my fifth was a 1gb Cruzer Mini which I bought one and a half to 2 years ago, and most recently I bougt a 4gb Cruzer Titanium about six months to a year ago (which is the one I currently carry around with me).

I've had at least three of them, including at least two of the less durable (relatively speaking, because they are all incredibly durable), non-titanium models go through the wash (some of them multiple times), and after drying out they still work. I certainly wouldn't reccomend doing that on purpose, but it speaks to their durability.

Bottom line, when it comes to USB Drives I am a loyal SanDisk customer because their drives are durable, they fully back their products, and they pretty much never fail.

I have owned 4 SanDisk USB drives so far, 3 Titanium and one normal cruzer.

All have served me well, they are speedy and the capless design is great.
The build quality of the Titanium drives is top notch, they have a good solid feel and can take a lot of punishment
The non-Titanium model lack the solid feel, just dosent compare at all, to be fair to it its still in one piece with no damage so its not completely cheep

I would say the build quality of the Titanium models more than makes up for the price difference.

I am currently waiting on my new 16GB Titanium Cruzer being delivered.

I have one SanDisk USB Drive and love it. Wanting to buy one more for bigger space but want to save up for something else.

Also a SanDisk fan here, although I do get other major brands if the price is significantly different (I never buy them at normal price, always when they're on sale).

I actually have a Sandisk Micro Cruizer 256mb (I got a good deal on it 6$ with tax) I bought it over 2 years ago and it still runs like a champ- Windows 98 machines are the only ones that it have ever given a hassle about = They have to download a driver from the web... Even Linux Installs Find it with no issues.

Though I have thought about getting a 8gig one from them. They have it at Walmart for 19$.

I've got an 8GB micro thats been fantastic

How much are you paying for it? Do they have any higher capacities yet?

£30 from play.com

Havent seen anything bigger than the 16GB one yet,
the 16GB does not even appear on the official sandisk site yet

I have a 2GB Sandisk Cruzer Titanium as well. It's been great over the 2 years or so I've had it. The back of the case is loosening up a bit but still not coming apart. I can't really blade that on anybody but me though. I have it on a carabiner with my keys and they sometimes come out when I'm pulling the wad out of my pocket. Well, didn't notice I dropped it till I got to my motorcycle, but then a few cars ran over it. I'm quite impressed that really nothing happened to it (didn't even scratch that badly).

Wow haha that's crazy that it could stand up to cars running it over!
