I purchased this SanDisk - Cruzer Glide 128GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive to create an audio music archive for a professional folk musician client who had recently passed away. I needed a reliable & portable Flash Drive to transfer more than eight hundred songs from professional recording studio sessions, more than a dozen CD Masters & many live concert recordings in high resolution stereo audio. The archive also included video & photo elements, album artwork & text documents related to this important project. Everything transferred very smoothly to the SanDisk Cruiser Glide Flash Drive. After verifying the transferred data, the flash drive was delivered to the client’s family to be utilized in creating future legacy projects.

I read the reviews ahead of time and also searched among several similar products at this price point, and I was feeling good about my purchase. However, I was hoping for a simple connect-and-save flash drive for my Mac, and unfortunately the security software is something I don't understand. So, when I plug in the flash drive there are a number of steps I'm supposed to take in order to just use it - and, I am humble enough to say, I just couldn't figure it out. It was very disappointing and I probably should have requested a return or replacement for a different product when I first discovered this obstacle. I'm curious if PC users have an easier time even though this product is apparently for both Mac and PC. Or, maybe if you're more tech savvy. I thought I was; I ... MoreI read the reviews ahead of time and also searched among several similar products at this price point, and I was feeling good about my purchase.

I'm curious if PC users have an easier time even though this product is apparently for both Mac and PC. Or, maybe if you're more tech savvy. I thought I was; I have used flash drives before and I've never experienced this. It was just too hard to use. I'm graciously giving it two stars because if I can muster up the patience to try again, most of the reviews are positive I'm guessing it will work -but again, so far this is not useable at all for me at this point.

I have never owned a USB Flash Drive before, and I was extremely surprised at how easy this was to use and how much this has simplified my life! Now I wish I would have had one of these many years ago when I was in school! I was amazed there was virtually no setup. I initially bought it to use to re-install the firmware on my ps5 and update it and it worked great, but I have used it since to backup a bunch of vital stuff on my laptop. After that, I used it to transfer a file to make a printout at at a local FedEx location because we don't have a printer at home and it worked wonderfully! This has great portability for your vital files and can even be used as extended storage for some game consoles. It comes formatted in Phat32 file format by default and is basically ... MoreI have never owned a USB Flash Drive before, and I was extremely surprised at how easy this was to use and how much this has simplified my life!

This has great portability for your vital files and can even be used as extended storage for some game consoles. It comes formatted in Phat32 file format by default and is basically plug-and-play on a Windows machine if that's the format you're intending to use (although it works with all platforms and is easily reformatted). The size is substantial at 32gb, yet it still consumes lower power from the usb port with that size plus being a usb 2.0 versus 3.0+ device. Got it on sale for $7.49 + tax and I feel that is a great value! The transfer speeds seemed fine to me, decently quick considering it's a usb 2.0. Also love the expandable/retractable usb end with the "glide" red button to protect it, it's very compact and light, and fits easily in any pocket. Pretty much the only negative I can think of is that it didn't come with a lanyard out of the box, but this is still 5 stars easily for the price/value! And not to mention the fact it's a Sandisk brand means it should be reliable in the long-term.
