works so far.
I bought this unit to back up files from my wife's MAC and my own PC. So far so good. I don't bother with the software that comes with it, it's OK but not great. Works well enough just to drag and drop files here and there.
Saved My Backside
This will be short and simple. The Retrospect product bundled with the Drive saved my over 70G of priceless data and applications. When it was apparent that my existing drive was failing I purchased a new 250G internal drive (Western Digital) and asked the local well-regarded computer store to ghost the drive to the new one. Couldn't do it. Fortunately, I had used Retrospect to back up my stuff and the store tech was able to restore everything, all the data, programs and settings with Restrospect on the new drive. Buy this product! Use Retrospect. It might save your priceless music, pictures, financial data, etc. Happy day!

Easy to use
This drive does what it says it will do. It's easy to set up, and it's easy to configure. It's relatively fast, and it is quiet as well. The only complaint I have so far is that yes, the power supply does come out VERY easily. I brushed up against the cord, and it came unplugged from the drive. What I'm doing to combat this is putting the drive in a zero traffic area, and making sure the cord is out of sight. However, if you plan to move this drive at all, this might be too annoying for you. ... Read more

Unrealiable; Don't trust with important files.
I had this drive for a few months and one day it decides to stop working.Windows recoginizes it, but when I try to open it, Windows tells me to insert a disk in the drive.It appears the flash drive is dead with tons of imformation on it.Luckily I had the insight to back up the most important file earlier today, so all is not lost, but I don't even remember the other files I had on there.I have an earlier backup and hopefully I can recover most of my files.
Washable
This is a nice flash drive. It comes with security software already on it. The best part is that I accidently left it in my pocket and it went through Washer and Dryer. It survived and it still functions.

Great! but...
Awsome, reliable, one gig is plenty for most fields (not mine, grapics and animation D:)

Very slim and useful for a cool user
I've had this drive over a year and have used it continuously to store notes and documents both at school and at work.This device is slender enough to fit in a laptop USB slot and allow the slot beneath it to be available for another device (Mouse, Thumb drive, etc).Also, I've accidentally sent this baby through the washer a couple of times.I don't think it's been in the dryer (yet), but the fact that it's been in water twice and still works makes me glad that I purchased the device I did. By the way, I use my drive to transfer files from every computer I work on, which includes my Mac Mini, my Dell at work, my Macbook Pro at school, and my Linux box serving my web site.
Great piece at a great price
When I was shopping for a flash drive, I saw that someone complained about the slow speed of this drive. It almost scared me away from buying it, but now I'm glad I don't believe everything I hear. This is the fastest media I've ever used, and if someone has one that doesn't run fast, the problem is with their own system or files. A hundred megs in the blink of an eye is plenty fast enough for me. I'm a hands down believer in the SanDisk Cruzer Mini 2GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive. Stop looking, cause you just found the best buy.

Tough little bugger...
I use my Cruzer Mini constantly at work.It's great for quick data transfers, small utilities, drivers or patching systems that are off the network.It's slim and lightweight enough that I tend to drop it in my shirt pocket and forget about it.You probably see where this is going...but yes, it's been run through the washing machine at least four times.What may be even more impressive is that it's been run through the dryer three times (once I did catch it after being washed and saved it from the dryer, allowing it to air dry instead).It still works as well as the day I took it out of the package, never missing a beat. ...

Great product!
I've been using this product for about a month, and I haven't had any problems with it. It is truly plug 'n play--it has installed itself flawlessly on several laptops and desktops (all running Windows XP SP2) with no work at all. It works pretty fast, too--transferring 700MB to it takes a little under a minute.
problems connecting with computer
I too saw that my kingston had problems connecting to my pc and mac. It's pretty much 50/50, on whether the computer will detect it or not. I have to then take it out and plug it back in and then usually it will work. Recently, it died on me, and because It was only about a year old, I figured I probably had a bad item. Whether or not it was shotty workmanship or I just got unlucky, I don't know.

Had it a year, works well
A very easy way to back up and to expand storage capacity.So easy that I might never again replace a hard drive that has grown too small.
Great Device
Very convenient and useful device. I'm using it for about year time and planning to buy one more similar hard drive from Seagate.

Says What It Does - Does What It Says
This piece of hardware works as it should. It is well designed and aesthetically pleasing. The availability of both IEEE 1394 and USB 2.0 interfaces is good - I find fewer and fewer available root USB ports on my PC these days and few devices that demand the available IEEE 1394 port. With this drive, I was able to replace my existing 80GB Maxtor External HDD and free up a USB port at the same time.

Cruzer
Works good, small, and comes with handy little stickers to put on so you can write contact info in case you lose it, though slightly costly

Cruzer Mini 256 MB Flash Drive
It's little. It holds a bunch of data. It's so easy to use even my copilot can understand it. It's the perfect way to transport lots of data in a really small package. Throw those floppy disks away forever! If North Korea could make missiles the way SanDisk makes flash drives, we'd all be in deep kimchee.

takes a licking...and keeps on ticking
just the like the reviewer below, i accidentally put my cruzer through the washer...AND the dryer.i pulled it out after my clothes finished drying a i was SURE i had firstly waterlogged it, and secondly fried it.

Pretty Good Overall
This is overall a pretty good flash drive.It is affordable and has one gigabyte of memory.That is probably enough for someone who doesn't want to keep every little thing they've ever saved on it.It takes a little bit for it to transfer the data, but no biggie unless your really short on time.Comes with a cap to put on the top (some flash drives don't).It also comes with a string to tie around your neck.Overall an economic choice for a person who needs to carry around data without carrying a bulky diskette.

PNY Attache
I bought a PNY Attache flash drive about 3 months ago.I was happy with it until it failed.I have tried it on several computers, and the light does not come on and it does not activate.

It's very good
This is an affordable option that provides a lot of memory and allows USB 2.0 protocol for very fast transfer. If you need to transfer data from one digital product to another, this is very handy and I think that every person dealing a lot with data should have one. ... Read more

7/23rds coasters
7 out of 23 of these discs turned into coasters, at 8x speed with my Powerbook G4.(The other two discs had data corruption.)That's unacceptable, and I'll never buy Verbatim again.

These DVD's are really good...

Dies after a year
I was using it as a backup device and it failed after about 12 months. So I am ripping it apart and putting in a new UltraATA disk in. Just hope the box is not frying the disk.
Worried about the other reviews... I've had mine for over a year and it works fine.
I've got to say I'm really worried about my hard drive failing after reading all of these reviews.But to be honest I have not had the same problems (crosses fingers).My hard drive has worked admirably for over a year.I do not however hold anything near and dear to my heart on this drive (probably the most important thing I have on my drive is all of my music) and I use it mainly for weekly back-ups of my computer.So to start my little review off:
Worst product, Buy at own risk
I bought this 250GB HD; it was very slow to start with. And one doomed day, after 45 days of purchase it stopped working. I was caught where I couldn't return to the store of purchase. So I called Lacie. Lacie want to return it to them to repair it under manufacturer's warranty. Few days later, got a new one - right on the first day, new one didn't work either. Send again, got a new one - right on the first day, this one didn't work either.

small and compact
I really do think this is a great product that they have made.
Love it!
I love this little thing and now that I've had one, I couldn't live without one. I back up files from my laptop, copy stuff off my computer at work at take home to work on. I even share music files with it. In my work, I use a lot of audio files that are just too large to fit onto a CD and therefore are difficult to transfer between computers. (They're like 20 to 35 MB). So this works great for that.

I'd give it a zero if that was an option.
Worked once, then quit. When hooked up to computer and turned on, a message pops up saying device detected, may not work properly. No lie. A complete waste of money.

Couldn't see or map drive
I have a home network with 2 PCs and a notebook with wireless connection.The "find network wizard" worked fine - until the map network drive part.Couldn't get this thing to work even after many attempts on my part and those of an outside tech consultant.Tried to call Simpletech tech support.First try:recording - hours of service are M-F 5:30 am to 6:30 pm pacific time.Weekend warriors are out of luck until Monday.Second call during the prescribed hours: waited on hold for over 30 minutes.Gave up and returned the thing.May work on your system, but this was a dud for me.

Not always there!
I purchased this drive with great expections. From the outset, it looked good, worked right away when plugged in to Windows 2000. I purchased this as an extra storage, so i moved my data over and created a network share on it. It worked nicely, I could connect from another computer. So far so good.

Defective
This item worked great for the one month it worked. I'm now waiting for a replacement because Iomega determined the equipment to be defective. I sneaked a peek inside before shipping it out and saw the hard drive inside is actually a Seagate. Maybe I'll steer clear of both brands from now on.

Great Product

It's like an unlimited capacity flash drive...
I love this thing! The Kingston TravelLite feels solidly built and is even smaller than it looks in the pictures. Another thing you can't see in the picture is that it has a clip on the back. It also has a hole for attaching a lanyard or keychain, although it does not come with either. I had no problems reading or writing to a 4GB SD card. The SD card door is attached so it can't get lost. The USB cap is not attached, but I find it convenient to slide it under the clip while the reader is in use to avoid misplacing it. The cap also fits snugly so I don't need to worry about it falling off in my purse.

Great SD little AD card reader
I purchased this product a couple of days ago and it's perfect for what I need.It's small, lightweight, and fast.This is perfect for business and leisure travellers.

Excellent quality disks - no coasters
I have burnt many DVDs on Verbatim (both +R and +RW) and Verbatim has excellent quality. Not a single disk went bad during burning, and I have had them for over a year and they are still working great.

Buy these!
Having brought approximately 5 or 6 hundred of these disks and in all that time only finding 1 of them to be bad; it is easy to recommend them.I have purchased many different brands before and none of them can compare.Buy these!

Not one Coaster

unexpected performance
carry with me everywhere...thought i lost it then found it in a pair ofshorts that was put through the wash and dry. plugged it in after a short prayer- pulses with that blue light with no loss of data.

Great with great customer service
This is the second SanDisk USB flash drive I've owned. I never had a problem with the first one; I just needed more space. I love that this one does not have a cap (that thing never stays on the old one) and the blue light is nice to let you know that the unit is functioning.
Great idea and cheap.Reliability problems.
An excellent USB drive when it's new, but ages fast.

Editorial Review

The Memorex DVD Double-Layer Recorder helps you record DVDs and CDs easily, even double layer or HD DVD discs. The 16x dual format means that the drive supports both the current standard for DVD recorders, in addition to the newer HD DVD format, so that you don't have to worry about what type of disc to use. Double layer recording lets you create DVD+R9 discs that hold up to 8.5 GB, which is about 80% more than single layer discs are capable of holding. The drive features built-in buffer underrun protection along with built-in Flash-ROM to allow you to upgrade online. The included Nero Software Suite provides a clean and intuitive interface for quick and easy recording of CDs and DVDs. This sleek, external drive also comes with a stand that allows you to prop the drive on its side to save space on your desktop.Read more

Great product, lousy software
I have been using this for about two days now.I guess it is my stupidity, but I found Nero unnecessarily complex.I was not able to record a data disk (double layer) after numerous attempts.The language and the terminology is too Nero-esque.In the end I removed Nero from my computer and am using the Sonic software, which is far superior, faster, simpler, and user-friendlier.My advice is to buy Memorex but never bother with the installation of Nero.Good luck.

Excellent Addition to my computer products.
I am very pleased with the performance of this machine. I bought it to add dual layer dvd's and 16x burning to my aging Powermac G5 from Apple. It has worked perfectly for me and makes DVD's in about 3 minutes. A very nice touch. As a side note, I am a world traveler and I am planning on moving to London at the start of next year. I was afraid that it would not be able to go with me. But I contacted Memorex and it already is wired to work in the U.S. and Europe. That was a nice surprise. Buy this product, you will not be disappointed.

it really is mac compatible
I just got this a week ago, and it's been great. Using this drive on my macbok, it tells me how much space is left. Also, the eject arrow shows up so it's simple to disconnect. My geek squad drive doesn't do that. The size is great too. I used it to transfer a dozen large tiffs, and had room to spare.

Great camera--but a little sensitive
Love the camcorder and the fact that you never have to buy tapes or those stupid little 20-minute discs. The quality is great. And you can upgrade to a three-hour battery, so battery life isn't a concern. My only drawbacks: 1) camera can be very sensitive; I took it to the beach and jostled it around a little and the zoom and focus stopped working, and 2) using it with a program like Sony's Click to DVD software scrambles the clips, so when you edit before burning to DVD you have to go back, frame by frame, and rearrange the clips in the order you shot them in.

Convenience, convenience, convenience, and features!
I moved up from a MiniDV camcorder to this one because of the hard-drive recording. It was a *great* purchasing decision. My personal favorite features:
JVC Does Not Stand Behind Their Products - JVC Lemoncorder
