My new SanDisk USB Cruzer Micro Skin 8GB Drive

My new memory stick finally arrived from Play.com and it’s exactly what I’ve been waiting for.  Can you remember the days of using a floppy disc or even CDs to transfer data? The way technology is moving forward nowadays is so fast and these USB drives with flash memory are taking over and soon enough CD’s won’t be needed.  So I decided, after my broken USB drive a couple of months ago, to buy a new one and at 8gb for only £10, who was I to argue?

I chose SanDisk because I know they are a respectable company and although the failure rate on these devices is low I would rather not take the chance and be covered by some decent warranty this time around.  My expectations weren’t let down when it arrived either as it is so small and light -- it’s pretty in a way.  However the orange light when connected is a bit of a let down when a nice blue or green colour would have been more modern.  The finish seems to be of a high quality and the rubber casing will also prevent those nasty scratches it will undoubtedly attract while being thrown around on a computer desk. So 8gb should do me fine for a while and I’ll let you know if anything goes wrong but I seriously doubt it, mind you I thought that last time.  Right, now I need to go and transfer all those files I’ve wanted to do but couldn’t be bothered to burn to disc…
