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

I got these because I needed some spare thumb drives to use to create USB installer media. They work just fine for that. Id expected to receive a single package with five units, but instead received 5 individual unit packages, which was a little bulky. But other than that, everything was as expected.

I have a few 3d printers that are quite picky on what USB drive I use and these work in every printer I have.

All 5 work great for my OS boots for my job. 3 running clonezilla, 1 running OSX, and the other for all my windows installs. Probably will end up buy 5 more later on down the road.

I bought a two-pack of the 4GB version the other day to use for live boot Linux. They worked well, so I bought these 8GB drives for the same purpose. I have used them all for persistent Linux live boots, and they all are doing the job. I note that another reviewer reported problems using them to live boot Kaspersky Rescue CD. I installed Kaspersky as well as some other rescue tools as a multi-boot setup on one of the 4GB drives and it seems to be working fine for me. I formatted the drive before use, then used YUMI to install the programs to the drive. I will report back if anything comes up.

good price for a good product.

Was gift and client loved them

good value if you don not need speed - these are USB 2.0 and are slower than a turtle stampeding through peanut butter. But for the occasional transfer of small files to to carry files to Kinkos for printing, they are OK. If you need speedy downloads, buy 3.0 drives.

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 bought these for my elderly Parents as they have expressed a desire to document all the items they want to leave behind for their four children after they are gone. My Mom is writing down the items as well as taking photos and then I shall be transferring that info to the Cruzer jump drive that has that particular childs name on it. Hopefully this will make things very clear during what will be a sad and difficult time for our family. Together with my parents I suggested this solution even though shes not computer savvy. She takes the photos. etc and then I transfer the info to the correctly marked pen drive. These are nice and small and I kept one for myself to put my medical records to keep on my key ring. That way if I am unconscious and taken to hospital, the emergency room personnel can pop it in their computer via the USB port and see my info. They also have a bit of security feature added but I havent used it yet. As I was originally looking for 1 or 2GB drives I found these were actually a better buy and with 8GB each. Great deal. There were 2 lanyards instead of five. Not sure why that is but that wasnt an issue for me as I always change my lanyards to be long enough to wear as sort of a necklace, so about 20 or more.

I bought these to have something to fix my Dads computer with. He managed to some how to destroy his operating system and I used one of these babies to get him up and running again. Then my son was visiting and when he went home he took back copies of some online books I had bought he hadnt read yet. So convenient, so small,, so reliable. Worth every penny and inexpensive,
