Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I really can't believe this sandisk cruzer offering. I've had several other sandisk cruzers and have always been happy with them, but this 32 gig sandisk cruiser is THE WORST flash drive I've owned and I have several of them of various brands. I can't believe the difference in speed between the 32 gig sandisk cruzer and the other cruzers that I've owned. I've been using flashdrives for system backup and recovery with happy results for years. When I saw the 32 gig cruizer offered for 30 bucks, I bought two of them. When I did a copy all files from my c: drive to the cruizer 32 gig flash it took over 7 HOURS TO COPY 15 GIGS!!!! That's just barely half of the capacity of the drive and the computer wasn't doing anything else. With other flash drives that I own the process usually completes in about 30 minutes. I can't see ANYONE being happy with taking 14 hours to fill the drive, even if they only intend to write to it once. Unfortunately the way these are packaged you pretty much have to destroy the package to get the flashdrive out, so I won't be returning them, but for 30 bucks a piece I think they will both be headed to the trash can. BOTH of the 32 gig cruizers were incredibly slow, when writing, on two different computers both known for writing the same data to a flash drive in 30 minutes. No excuse for it to take more than 7 hours!!! I'm very sad to have to write a bad review about sandisk, as I've always been happy with them in the past. I can only hope that these turn out to be blackmarket drives and not a trend for sandisk. With the lack of speed I can't see any use for this flash drive. My commodore 64 with a cassette tape drive was faster.
