VERY SMALL EXCELLENT USB DRIVE . I have the 512 MB version of this drive with the hard plastic case and love the small size and performance so I was very excited to get one with four times the space. I really like the removable skins. The cap fits tighter and more secure than the hard plastic one on 512 MB one. Being able to change the color is great because I have many of these and I can tell them apart. I use these drives to backup and transfer many smaller size files (100kb to 200kb). One dirty little secret about these drives is that the larger the capacity the slower they transfer files especially if you are moving many small files. My 512 MB one will write at a rate of 3 MB per second, the 2 GB one at 1 MB per second. This is why I gave it a 4 stars instead of 5. If I would have known about the speed issue I would have bought the 1 GB version instead. If you need speed look at the new SanDisk Cruzer Titanium, they are supposable much faster.

SanDisk 2GB 2 GB Cruzer Micro USB Flash Drive Reviews
Little is fantastic! . I've never gone for small before (I lose things), or decorative (seemed frivolous), or anything less than 4gb (too much hassle selecting out all the files you actually need that evening because the entire folder won't fit on your USB stick). But when I happened upon this stick in a store (actually the 1GB version), I took one look at the colored skins and thought "Now THAT would be handy. Maybe when I lend this stick to someone else, I'll get it back." And besides, it was super cheap.
Now that I've actually used it, I am amazed. The skins do their job: you get three colors (counting the white one), making it easy to keep track of which stick is which. There's a label for your name and phone number, the kind of AHA! extra that makes you wonder why nobody thought it years ago. Same goes for the blazingly bright light at the tip (much easier to see than the light on the computer drive) that lets you know when the stick is in use.
But the pièce de résistance is its size: it actually FITS in the awkwardly-angled, horribly positioned USB port on the front of my computer. It's the first USB stick I've ever had that doesn't require me to crawl around on the floor in the dark behind the computer (or conduct UN-level negotiations with my USB hub and the computer to come to some sort of understanding) to get access to the files on the stick.
And I don't have to worry about losing it: it comes with a ring to attach it to a keychain, and a lanyard for those who prefer to wear it around the neck.
I am extremely happy. If I don't experience any of the durability issues others have had, I'm going to buy an entire set. Bye-bye long, elegant, professional-looking USB sticks! You've been replaced.

Cons Review
Quality is poor . I bought it at Best Buy on 03/22/2006 and it did not work after about 30 minutes. I returned it to Best Buy and got a new one.
On 09/28/2006 it did not work. I called SanDisk and sent it to SanDisk for a replacement. Today is 11/01/2006 I still have not received the replacement from SanDisk.
