I manage an IT department for a military organization which supports hundreds of systems. We bought 20 of these to test in normal conditions before we made a mass buy of hundreds more if these worked as we had hoped. Our primary use for them is with laptops and desktop systems which have available front USB ports. We needed a flash drive that was rugged and reliable.

Of those we purchased more than a dozen are dead now. Very valuable data and files stored on those flash drives lost data that is unrecoverable! It wasn't until I read another Epinions reviewer's comments about the voltage change problem that I understood why we've experienced so many failures with this product.

We also had many problems getting the sliding USB connector to lock into place. I thought it would be good to have a USB connector that disappeared when in transit because our end users have a need for the flash drives in some very unforgiving environmental conditions, but it doesn't do much good when it won't lock into place when it is inserted into the system's USB port. All the users constantly complained that they had difficulty getting the drive to securely slide into the USB ports and stay secured.

Had I known there was a problem with changing voltage and the sliding USB connector before making the purchase, I never would have bought this particular flash drive. I will NEVER buy the SanDisk Cruzer(r) Titanium USB Flash Drive again nor will I recommend it to anyone else. Although we've used various other SanDisk products in the past, they've failed miserably with this particular product.
