Sandisk Cruzer Titanium

Filed under: — Tony S. @ 6:41 am



If you are the type of person that keeps breaking their thumb-drive then this is the gadget for you. The Cruzer Titanium reportedly can withstand up to 2000 lb. weight. Now unless you have a severe weight problem, you should be able to break puppy by merely sitting on it, and I would suspect that sitting on your thumb-drive would be a leading method of destruction.

SanDisk Cruzer Titanium Review
Sandisk Cruzer Titanium really makes a great first impression. With its USB connector concealed, someone could have mistaken the titanium-coated device as a Sandisk-branded lighter. But it turns out to be a rugged 512MB Hi-Speed USB flash drive that is able to withstand up to 2000 lb. weight. Suffice to say, the Cruzer Titanium won’t fail on you in case a 250 lb. guy steps on it.
