The new Cruzer models were unveiled at a press conference at the Consumer Electronics Show where SanDisk is demonstrating products in Booth #30329, South Hall, Level 3, Las Vegas Convention Center. The Cruzer Micro will be available in capacities that range from 512-megabytes (MB) to 4-gigabytes (GB), while capacities for the Cruzer Titanium will be 1GB and 2GB.

Some of the listed capacity is used for formatting and other functions and thus is not available for data storage ** Based on internal testing 'The Cruzer Micro and Titanium raise the bar for USB flash drives,' said Carlos Gonzalez, senior director of SanDisk's USB flash drive business unit.

'These new drives offer a higher level of freedom and flexibility because they allow you to carry U3-compliant programs and content together on a single U3 smart drive and access them on most Windows-based PCs. The ability to bring your personal workspace with you is very convenient and a great way to boost your productivity when you're on the go.' The new Cruzers are small, 1.875 x 0.75 inches (4.76 cm x 1.91 cm) and easily fit on a keychain. Each features a retractable USB port for protection from dust and damage.

Cruzer Micro -The Affordable USB Flash Drive For Anyone Who Owns a Computer The Cruzer Micro easily slips into a pocket or purse or can be worn around the neck with the included lanyard. With capacities of up to 4GB, it can hold the equivalent up to five data CDs - the equivalent of approximately 2,800 floppy disks, or hours of digital music, video or other personal data. Cruzer Titanium - Lightning Speed, Rugged Durability The Cruzer Titanium combines high performance with extreme ruggedness and durability. It has read and write speeds of 15MB/second**-among the fastest available-for speedy data transfers of large files. To physically protect the valuable data of business and power users, its high-strength case is mechanically crush-proof to more than 2000 pounds. It is manufactured with an advanced titanium alloy from Liquidmetal® Technologies that is pound-for-pound stronger than steel.

The light weight, superior strength, hardness, high corrosion and wear resistance of this unique alloy make it ideal for the Cruzer Titanium.
