SanDisk Cruzer Profile 1 GB

Conclusion

This drive has impressed me when it came in with its size and elegance. I didn't know the model itself as it was new, so I was also surprised to find the fingerprint security. All in all that's a good first impression to start with.

When it was time to do the benchmarks the drive showed an area at which it excelled. The rate at which it runs data through and the endurance of it is high, which means it should keep a good transfer rate going even if the file size increases. Another hit!

Installing the drive itself and the software was very easy and didn't prove difficult at all. Does this mean the drive has hit a home-run? No quite, the software is only compatible with Windows and no other platform. But as a package this drive does quite well and you'll have a hard time finding another drive with the same excellent features.

Pros and Cons
I’d like to point out the pros and cons I found whilst reviewing SanDisk Cruzer Profile:

• Constant high performance of the drive.
• Easy installation and usage.
• Level and excellence of support.
• Biometric security options.

• No Linux compatibility for security software.

• The prices are different per country due to various tax restrictions etc. Check this link for more information on where to buy the drives and actual prices.
