Journal bhtooefr's Journal: SanDisk Cruzer Mini 256MB Review
Cost: $34.99 - $10 MIR = $24.99 (Office Depot, 2004-12)
Approx. $0.10/MB
Package: Drive, lanyard, two extra caps
Included software: CruzerLock v1.1 (SanDisk is now offering a larger software bundle)
Drive features: Minimal
Drive speed: USB 2.0
Read: Fast
Write: Slow
No manufacturer theoretical speeds available
Cap retention:
New: Good
After 1 month: Poor
After 3 months: Very Poor
Physical durability: Good
Electronic durability: Good
Physical Size: Very slim - fits in a dual-stack port
Power consumption: >100mA (requires a powered port)
Upshot: I would buy another of these, but I would be much more careful with the caps. Those figures on cap retention are with load balancing all three caps, and they still wore down that quickly. Also, the power consumption worries me a bit. Durability testing didn't go long, because the drive got stolen.
