SanDisk Cruzer Facet USB Flash Drive Review

SanDisk Cruzer Facet USB Flash Drive Rating: 4/5

Pros:

• Absolutely 0 heating. (I have used it 8+ hours continuously plugged in but still 0 heat generated. Implies long life)
• Solid build
• Smaller in size
• 5 year warranty (you need to register online)
• Encryption utility, SecureAccess (pre-loaded with the drive)
• 19.5MB/s read speed (on an average)

Cons:

• Write speed is just 2.5-3.5MB/s (on an average) and that's the biggest issue I found in this flash drive. Its a way less than what you could actually get in market right now. I couldn't figure out the reason for the inconsistent write speed. It just varies with out any reason and usually it increases towards the end. There are times I even had 5MB/s write speed on the very same machine.

Misc:

• Gives you 14.9GB usable space
• Looks stylish
• Available in 4GB, 8GB, 16GB and 32GB
• Dimensions: 45 mm x 12 mm x 4.5 mm
