    The Sandisk-Cruzer 256 GB Flash Drive Has all the storage capacity I need for my CDs and all my pictures. I can also select files that I want to keep private by simply adding a password. It is compact and therefore easy to carry. That makes it easy to share my photos and or music. I really enjoy this useful little gadget.

    Pleased with the flash drive it's as fast as some of the more expensive ones. I've had no problems storing music and playing it on the car stereo where others skip.

    I purchased the SanDisk 256GB Cruiser Drive to support video storage. I got tired of selecting a USB jump drive to store video only to find out that the drive I chose was too small for the job at hand. That all ended with the purchase of the SanDisk 256GB Drive. The drive is a USB 2.0 but my laptop won't accept a 3.0 drive. Yes I need to wait patiently for the MOV files I am loading to complete the process, but I finally have a USB drive that is easy to use, has great software included with it to keep my files secure and has an almost endless appetite for video files. Inexpensive yet very effective. I highly recommend this Cruiser Drive.

    Always fond of SanDisk drives and this 256gb was a welcome addition given it's storage capacity. So far it has not disappointed and I'm looking forward to it's durability. It is small, convenient and fits any storage need adequately.

    SanDisk - Cruzer 256GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive - Black/Red Pros: Large GB capacity. Unbeatable price--When on sale! Uniform size and style for all Cruzer Glide sticks. VERY reliable (I've used them for many years and have yet to have even one fail). Cons: Not really a con but... It would be nice to have the GB capacity not just printed, but molded, onto the front or sides of the stick, and come with a label/sticker for the back. Other Thoughts: I own several Cruzer Glide sticks of different GB sizes, for different things, so labels are a must. Sandisk prints the info about the stick on the back, which is the optimal place to put my labels.

    Like the large capacity and great price. It is USB2 not USB3 which means slower input/output speed, but that isn't a problem for me. It isn't as expensive as a USB3 256 GB Flash Drive. If you want speed, then get the USB3 Flash Drive.

    Seriously. 256GB in a USB flash drive is incredible. Small and lightweight so you can place on a key ring. The USB connection retracts when not in use. Nice feature. The device was so nice I bought it twice! Best of all, no animals were harmed in my testing of the device!

    I take photos daily and don't like to keep it all on my computer. Heaven forbid anything were to happen to my computer and i was unable to retrieve my photos. Another reason is just to to space on the computer itself. Taking photos for work and home can add up fast. I just these thumb drives to keep things safe and organized.

    i was in the store for something else and saw this 256GB on sale for 35$. i asked a salesman what's wrong with it? nothing, he said. how can they sell it for this cheap? best buy has sales. i bit, came home, and told my girlfriend about this great deal. she was not interested. till next day, when she wanted to transfer all her pictures from one computer to another. she meekly asked if she could borrow it. it worked just fine. next day she bought 2. when i told my buddy, he bought one too. my new laptop has a 256GB sshd. i just doubled my hd space for 35 bucks. don't hesitate. buy this!

    Great backup device

    This 256GB device seems to be on sale at other retailers for about the same price, must be because it's only USB 2.0. Still a very good backup device, holds an obviously large amount of data. yes it formats to around 231GB I believe, not 256GB, but that's how Windows assigns it with what's left. Others have reviewed this and explained this smaller data capacity so I won't do it here. USB 3.0 would be much faster, yes of course. But if you're looking for a large backup source, for a really reasonable price, this may be what you need.

    It's not 3.0 so you don't get the 3.0 speed transfer, but just plug it in to your computer and it's ready to go.

    Holds a ridiculous amount of data. Got it put movies on so the kids can watch movies. Works beautifully. And the Black Friday price was an insane $39.
