SanDisk Titanium Cruzer, 2GIG, $37 delivered.

*chas0039* · 12-03-2007

This is actually cheaper than the 1Gig model, and Titanium as well. Act fast, they are going like hotcakes.

$41 shipped to my ZIP.

Did you select the "FREE Super Saver Shipping" option, it should have been $36.99.

*chas0039* · 14-03-2007

If you go back to the order you should be able to change it and save the extra charge.

Why not get 4 gigs for the same price?
Ends today @ costco

It's not Titanium but that is a decent price for 4GB in a plastic drive.

*TCAS* · 15-03-2007

Staples had this one 2 weeks ago for $29.99 with $10 coupon you would only end up paying $19.99 for 2 GB Scandisk flash drive.

*chas0039* · 16-03-2007

Given that none of these U3 drives seem to work with Vista, I am not surprised that they are dumping old inventory before the word gets around. Just so anyone interested is aware, the Titanium has a different read/write speed as well as the metal case. It works out to be around 50-60% faster.

Too bad the Staples price was missed.

Hurricane Andrew · 16-03-2007

Kingston U3 drives are the only ones I've found that work with Vista. Glad I grabbed a pair of 1GB ones for $4.99 AR last week!

*chas0039* · 16-03-2007

The new Sandisk Contour to be released later this month has the updated firmware which will allow U3 to work with Vista. The fix for the existing Sandisk drives will be released at year end.

Ugh... Year end??? At least they've announced something though. Memorex doesn't even address Vista, and Verbatim indicated they'd have an update by Mid-February, but we're a month past that now, and they haven't even bothered to update their web site info.

jumpyg · 16-03-2007

Couldn't you just get rid of U3 if you didn't want it? I assume the drive would then work fine with Vista.

Assuming you have another computer running XP or something, you should be able to run SanDisk's U3 removal tool.

Hurricane Andrew · 16-03-2007

Yeah, but most folks who spend extra $$$ for a U3 vs. a plain drive want to be able to use it. Also, you don't need to remove the U3 software, since it will function like a regular USB drive, as long as you don't have a password set.

And you can re-install it if you want to. I have done it

*chas0039* · 18-03-2007

Pleasant surprise; I ordered the drive and it has shipped. The price has dropped by $3 and I figured I would have to do some real sweet talking to get Amazon to credit me. After all, as good as even Newegg is, when the order is done, the price is locked.

I was amazed to find that Amazon automatically will give you any credit for a price reduction for 30 days. It is only $3 but it is a nice touch from Amazon.

*ghetocowboy* · 18-03-2007

if you dont need the shiny titanium casing, the retractable sandisk thumb drives are on sale at staples, check out ripit weekly ad post for this week. You get the 2 gig for I think $29.99, might be less, I saw the price but forgot how much it is, you can refer to ripit's post. And 4 gig is for $49.99

teflonmyk · 18-03-2007

Anyone know of a site other than portableapps*dot*com for open source flash drive apps. Preferably, U3 apps...

*chas0039* · 18-03-2007

http://software.u3.com/topdownloads.aspx?lang=en-US

http://sourceforge.net/softwaremap/

Both of these are decent. The second is huge and much more than just portable. Search with "portable" and you get 1200 +.

It was $25 at Staples. My guess is they will drop even more, Amazon usually is very sensitive to price fluctuation.

*chas0039* · 20-03-2007

The price just dropped to $30.

Hey chas what is so special about "Cruzer Titanium"?, is there any advantages over regular build of flash drive on the manufacturing side?.

*ghetocowboy* · 20-03-2007

Costco online has the 4gig titanium for $37 shipped if any1 has membership

*chas0039* · 20-03-2007

It has very fast read/write speeds, near the top of the scale, it has U3 which you may or may not like, it has a longer warranty of 5 years, and the Titanium makes it virtually indestructible. I happen to like the U3 as it is convenient where I work and the portable Firefox exclusive to U3 is different from the usual Portable Apps version and is very fast to exit. Also, it is sexy to have Titanium.

Yes but all these are not justifiable for extra $10-$15 price, which needs little fast write and read on flash drive. But if you really have use for U3 or other features then that would be up to you to pay the price for it.

*chas0039* · 21-03-2007

I have an older drive with the slower speed and it is a real time waster when I use it with Portable Apps. I agree, the extra few bucks are only worth it if you want U3, appreciate the speed, and like the Titanium.
