Avoid SanDisk USB Sticks
The ones I have are the slider in/out with a spring function; USB3 32G
Slide the plug all the way out and if it can be pushed back in but resists by spring action - that is the one to avoid! When I try to push the USB stick into a port the USB Stick spring action keeps me from pushing the USB Stick in all the way! When I think it is in I try to get data on or off the stick and it fails half way through the transfer. Sometime screwing up the USB Stick making it unusable for Wn XP. I have to plug the USB Stick into a Win 7 PC and do a disk check to get the functionality back. -- -- No signature --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: --- |

As soon as you try to push in the USB port, the slide closes and you can't push at all. Complete waste of money and the designers of these flash drives should resign immediately. |

So now you feel the need to send an off-topic crossposting to badmouth SanDisk? There are newsgroups about hardware, you know. I have several SanDisk flash drives: - SanDisk Cruzer Micro 512MB - SanDisk Titanium 4GB - SanDisk Cruzer Contour 16GB - SanDisk Cruzer Extreme Pro 128GB None of them give me trouble. When I think it is in I try to get data on or off the stick and it fails half way through the transfer. Sometime screwing up the USB Stick making it unusable for Wn XP.

I have one and yes, you can push the plug all the way quite easily |
