Cruzin’ on the Edge

Posted by: DT  :  Category: SanDisk

On the heel of Kingston’s recent mini releases, SanDisk is following suit with their own sleek models, albeit edgier. They sport a “down to port” capless red & black theme and can definitely cut your computer some slack.

Cruzer

Posted by: DT  :  Category: SanDisk

The SanDisk Cruzer is quite a flagship sailing the flash drive market and definitely for the company itself. Maybe SanDisk had a premonition when adapting the Cruzer moniker as that sailing proved to be steadfast and smooth. It’s no wonder since all the Cruzer models share qualities such as:

- high-speed performance
- password protection
-
U3 technology
- CruzerSync
(software synchronizing your outlook and personal files)
- data retention of up to 10 years
- LED indicator
- 2-5 year warranty

Now, let’s cruze through the various designs and their more specific traits.

Although this is quite a lot already the Cruzer series doesn’t stop here. Later I will bring to you Cruzer memory sticks with stylish extra kicks.

As for the ones listed here: what probably speaks most for them is their strong performance and extreme durability. Believe it or not, I’ve actually come across several users on twitter who accidentally had their SanDisk Cruzer in the laundry. And in every single case the drive was still working fine afterwards. To me that was pretty mind-boggling. Especially the fact that of all brands, it’s the Cruzer ending up in the washing machine! Could it have something to do with its namesake and its association with water?
