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

Great low-cost way to ship software for new computers that do not have a CD drive.

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.

We use these at work - our field staff record maps of farm fields to transfer to our office system. The Cruzer blades are their favorites due to their compact size and secure connection. Some larger ones work their way out of the computers.

These little USB drives are high quality and work perfectly. I keep several of these to give people files. Theyre cheap enough to be able to hand them out to clients or friends.

Just the right size to share with someone

needed one, but got the 5pack since it made financial sense given the cost difference. use one for home, for work, for school, for whatever. never had a problem with sandisk memory products.

I have used these inexpensive flash drives for music, data, and portable storage. I have never been disappointed.

It is nice to have several of these for casual transfers of lots of photos or music to friends and relatives.

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 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.
