Less than two weeks ago (August 8th to be exact), SanDisk Corporation launched its new line of USB flash drive that is catered for students for their schoolwork. Named SanDisk Cruzer U, it has a range of capacities to fit students’ needs for homework, photos, music, and movies.
Combining both fashion and practicality, Cruzer U sports a U-clip that can be used for attaching to backpacks, bags, and even key rings. Aiming to be attractive, it comes in three bright colors (only two available in Malaysia though), which also makes it easier to find while in the bag.
Not only that, this little stick also has password protection features to keep students’ information safe. It requires a USB 2.0 connection interface or newer.
Mark Eng, Country Manager of SanDisk Malaysia and Singapore, said, “With the workload and carry loads of students increasing, students are always looking for smarter ways to store their files. SanDisk Cruzer U offers a practical yet rugged design that also looks ‘cool’ at the same time. Designed with students in mind, it aims to keep all information safe. With ample space, it complements today’s busy yet outgoing lifestyles of Malaysian students.”
Measuring just 59.4 x 21.8 x 8.4 mm, Cruzer U packs a password protection software called SanDisk SecureAccess, that employs a strong 128-bit AES encryption to the stick. It supports a wide range of platforms, including Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Mac OS X 10.5 and above. A software download is required for use on Macs.
Besides the practicality of the U-clip, Cruzer U is also rugged and comes with a retractable USB connector, protecting it from wear and tear. The operating temperature range is between 0- to 45-degree Celcius, but the storage temperature could range from -10 to 70 degrees. SanDisk’s confidence in this stick is evident in its 5-year worldwide warranty.
SanDisk Cruzer U is only available in blue and green color options in Malaysia. The red color variant apparently only has 8GB and 16GB storage options. The other two colors have 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB capacities, and is available at the recommended retail price of RM17, RM30, RM60, and RM120 respectively.
