What customers say about "Features"

SanDisk Cruzer Blade 16GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive

Nothing huge to transfer, so the speed limitations of USB 2.0 aren't an issue- I can wait an extra 2 seconds for things to copy.
It still works like a charm after session in washing machine.
I've been pleased with the reliability and performance of this drive.
These flash drives consistently stop being recognized by any computer regardless of the operating system for seemingly no reason.
Good read speeds but a little disappointing on the write side.

SanDisk Cruzer Force 16GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive

The storage size is good and its not the fastest drive which I was aware of when I bought it.
I really like the durability of the this flash drive and the overall size.
The size of the drive is awesome and if you are afraid of losing it does come with a keyring slot so you can hook it to your keys, lanyard or hook of any type.
The transfer speed for music is good, I never tried reading/writing files with large bit-rates like HD video.
Good size at a great price and it's pretty darn fast!
