Pros: High build quality, fast drive, great price!
Cons: None
Overall Review: You won't regret this drive.
Pros: Work's, Perfect Size, and well made!
Cons: none
Pros: It has a great capacity. The housing is strong and small. If the issues below ere not present, It could not be beat.
Cons:
I've owned 5 or 6 sandisk flash drives and found all to be solid. The software is micky mouse, but it is not needed. This unit has several problems: The retaining mechanizim to hold the drive in place for insertion in a USB port doesn't work, depending on the computer it is used on it will cause a complete shut down or a restart. Reformating the drive does not help. I no longer rely on it. Too bad. I can't recommend it. I may try to have Sandisk replace it, but I don't have much time to chase small problems down.
I've gone back to my 8gig with no problems.
Pros: It is fast enought to stream music or video on your PC, it has a ton of storage and it is made of metal and retracts. Will take a beating!
Cons: Light is now orange, the older Cruzer Titaniums were blue.
Pros:
The metal body it real nice. Gives it a quality feel.
There is not cap to loose. I can't stand usb drives, especially nice/expensive one, that are designed with a little plastic cap that is easy to loose. Or maybe it snaps onto the back of the drive, but that's not possible if you have a lanyard. Lame, but not here.
Cons:
The white plastic part does have an orange LED behind it that blinks when in use and slowly pluses at all other times. Some people have said they don't like the constant pulsing. I like it.
It does come with a program on it. I don't know WTH it was(something that does not add to the already present ability of storing data), just that I don't want it on my drive. Does anyone use bundled features like that? Or ask for them? Luckily it can be un-installed.
Overall Review:
I mostly just use thumb drives for updating bios versions, but I thought it would be nice to have one big enough to put a high def movie onto.
I also bought one for my mom who is a teacher to replace the bundle of 64mb-512mb handout drives she keeps with one nice drive. "Thanks so much for coming to this teacher conference, have another 64mb drive. We bought a lot in the 90s and still haven't gotten rid of them all."
Pros: Extremely robust construction. I previously owned the 4GB model and bought this 16GB for the same reason. It will take tons of abuse and daily use. The speeds are as advertised under typical use.
Cons: None.
Overall Review:
This unit is much heavier than typical plastic flash drives, but that's to be expected for a titanium construction. It's definitely not noticeable unless you're holding it in your hand. However, it does give confidence in the build quality.
I use this as my do-all flash drive. From it I can boot into:
WinPE
Trinity Rescue Kit
Backtrack 4
Kon-Boot
Ophcrack
DBAN
NTPASSWD
I can also install Windows 7, Vista, and XP from the drive. Customized GRUB menu with all the options laid out right there. The 16GB size makes this really slick, and still leaves room for decent file transfers.
Pros: Easy to use & set up. The retractable USB interface is a nice touch. Very durable design.
Cons: Write speed could be a little faster.

Pros: I have washed this thing in my pants more than once, and that includes the tumble dry cycle of the dryer, ha. Nothing to be proud of I know but this thing still works to this day. The U3 software isnt all bad, I know several people with one of these and many decide to keep the software on it.
Cons: When trying to plug this in to the USB slot its not uncommon for you to depress the USB stick's release, causing a situation where you need to make sure you are keeping the button pressed so that the tip is extended and doesnt retract inward upon insertion.
Overall Review: The weak link in this system, litterally, is the weak keychain ring it comes with. If you keep this on your keys, as I do now, it will strech off and float loose in your pocket, perhaps to hide there until you wash it with your clothes (see above). This mechanism needs to be beefed up.
