ZDNet SanDisk Cruzer Mini USB flash drive (1GB) Review & Comparison
Though the SanDisk Cruzer Mini requires no drivers for Macs or PCs (unless you're running Window 98 SE), it does come preloaded with software. The CruzerLock 2 data security software allows you to encrypt and decrypt files and folders. The first time you use it, the software will walk you through setting up a username and a password (and a backup security question). After you've encrypted a file or a folder on the drive, only someone with the correct username and password can see that the particular file or folder even exists on the drive. The encryption interface is a little clunky and takes some getting used to, though. The other two programs--CruzerSync and Cruzer PocketCache--are trial versions. CruzerSync allows you to synchronize your PC's files and Outlook data on the SanDisk Cruzer Mini, while Cruzer PocketCache is a one-click file-and-folder backup program. You can purchase full versions of either software on SanDisk's site.
SanDisk covers the Cruzer Mini with a two-year limited warranty. Though its phone support is toll-free, the lines are open only Monday through Friday, from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. PT. The company's site has FAQs, drivers, and software downloads, as well as a Web-based support form.
