SanDisk Cruzer Contour

The SanDisk Cruzer Contour is a USB flash drive. Versions are available with storage capacity of 4 GB, 8GB and 16 GB.

Pros

The Cruzer Contour is the premier USB flash drive from a company that knows a thing or two about making quality flash drives. The Cruzer Contour comes loaded with features, including a retractable USB connector that protects against nicks and scratches. The device can support U3 technology, which allows consumers to transport their files and software under password protection (which is great for businesspeople who need to carry around sensitive information). The Cruzer Contour also looks great. It’s made out of shiny black plastic and even has a few sleek ridges for added grip. It sells for a great price - the 16 GB model sells for between $140 and $200.

Cons

The Cruzer Contour is slightly larger than other USB flash drives, but it is still small enough that you can easily slip it inside your pocket and forget that it’s there. Or, you can put it in the somewhat bulky SanDisk leather pouch and attach it to your keychain (but you can’t attach it right to your keychain like you can with many other USB flash drives because the Cruzer Contour doesn’t have the typical hole that allows you to do so).

The Gist

The SanDisk Cruzer Contour is one of the best-looking USB flash drives on the market and its performance lives up to its appearance. It has nearly every feature you could ask for in a compact flash drive.
