SanDisk Cruzer Fit CZ33 16GB USB 2.0 Low-Profile Flash Drive- SDCZ33-016G-B35

This is a solid and reliable product. Here's why I gave this thing 5 stars: I travel at least 15 days per month. While out of town at a restaurant, thieves broke out the back glass of my SUV and took a backpack which included a laptop, iPad, flash drives, keys, chargers, Blackberry etc. My work and personal lives were in that bag so this experience prompted much research into secure file storage. I realize it was ignorant to leave a bag in an unattended vehicle but I felt comfortable because it was a bright sunny day, a popular restaurant with a very busy parking lot (with a security camera), the bag was hidden in the well behind the third row seat and the vehicle windows are the darkest legal tint for Texas. It was impossible to see the bag if peering through the any of the windows. My vehicle was the only one hit by the crooks so I asked the officer how they could possibly know my bag was in the vehicle. He schooled me on the fact that crooks are using a very inexpensive and widely marketed tool that locates wireless signals from any device actively talking to any type of wireless network. My bag contained a Blackberry that was talking over the wireless provider network (sending and receiving data). With pinpoint accuracy, they were 100% confident that some sort of wireless device was in my vehicle. As it turned out, they had a big day (as did the pawn shop and drug dealer I suppose). Dont think the trunk of a car is safe either. The crooks will simply break the driver side window, pop the trunk and they'll be gone in less than one minute. The point of this review is that it's of utmost importance to secure your files. I purchased this product because of the encrypted vault feature. If you can log onto a computer, you will be able to set up the security very easily. The security software is so very easy to use. Setup is extremely efficient and user friendly. Sure, you can use this SanDisk tool as a normal thumb drive without encryption and passord but they made the "Vault" so easy, why not use it? The negative aspect of this product is also the reason I use it. It's so small that it could easily be lost or misplaced. I really like the micro size of this thing because it does not protrude from the usb port. On the other hand, it's so small that it could be easily lost or misplaced. So... I found a small waterproof pill bottle that has a keychain attached to one end. When not in my computer, I store the drive in the bottle. If you are looking for mobility and security, this is a great tool.

The SanDisk Cruzer Fit CZ33 16GB USB 2.0 Low-Profile Flash Drive (SDCZ33-016G-B35) is one of those small but mighty gadgets that does exactly what it’s supposed to. I’ve been using it for lightweight storage and media transfer, and it’s been solid and dependable. The low-profile design is the best part — it sits almost flush with the USB port, which makes it perfect for use in tight spaces, like in the back of a TV, inside a car stereo, or on devices where you don’t want a bulky USB sticking out. Despite being USB 2.0, transfer speeds are more than fine for documents, music, or smaller files. ✅ Pros: Ultra-compact design, almost invisible when plugged in Reliable performance with no disconnects or errors Great for car stereos, TVs, and media players SanDisk build quality — durable and trustworthy ❌ Cons: Limited storage size compared to today’s higher-capacity drives USB 2.0 speeds (fine for light use, but not ideal for huge files) 💡 Tips: If using in a car or media device, format it in FAT32 for maximum compatibility. Keep it dedicated for media or light storage — for large transfers, a faster USB 3.0 option may be better. Because it’s so small, consider attaching it to a keychain or lanyard when not in use to avoid losing it. Bottom Line: The SanDisk Cruzer Fit CZ33 16GB is a fantastic little low-profile flash drive. It’s discreet, reliable, and perfect for situations where space is tight. Not the biggest or fastest, but for what it’s designed to do, it’s excellent.

This is excellent. It's reliable, small, quick, cool, and holds my files no problem. The convenient size and material assures it doesn't get knocked out of ports or bumped, which is a problem I have with sticks. I'm just a bit cautious when transporting so I don't lose it.

I purchased the SanDisk Cruzer Fit 32GB several months ago after reading lots of reviews here on Amazon. Delivery was fast as usual. The first thing I noticed was just how small the device is (yes I read the reviews but it's still hard to get over the normal size of a "thumb drive" and think of this more as a "thumb nail drive" or even smaller). Seriously, look at the photo in the description comparing the drive to a dime. In terms of use the drive has worked great. It might not be the fastest out there although I haven't run any actual tests for transfer speed. I bought it because of it's size, storage capacity, and price point. I mainly use this drive to store movies and tv shows from my computer which I then play on my HDTV through the USB connection on the back. It works well and I am not too worried about losing it since it just goes back and forth between the computer and tv. If you are looking for something to take with you between the home and office or school that can store a lot of stuff and this small USB drive is appealing, I would recommend some kind of attachment loop or other device to help keep track of this little guy. It looks like there are some good options in the "What Others Bought" category just under the top of the page. Honestly, at this price I have thought about buying some other and attaching them all to the same key ring to create a very small, portable, and widely supported storage unit. I say widely supported because another great thing about USB drives in general is they are usually compatible with both PCs and Macs. I use both and have several external hard drives formatted for one or the other. That sometimes makes transferring files from the PC to Mac or vise versa difficult. This little guy solves that problem for all but the largest transfers. So in summary the small size might be an issue for some people as it can easily be lost but there are ways to overcome this and as long as you know that going in its a great product.

I had earlier purchased the Sandisk Ultra Fit for use with my car stereo. I have been unable to get it to work with my car stereo. Works well with my Smart TV though. Then I decided to give the Sandisk Cruzer Fit a try for the car stereo. This works like a charm. A great little pendrive especially to use in the car, as it does not stick out like a sore thumb like other pen drives. It has a little LED indicator light which is neat. Overall if you are looking for a low profile pendrive that you can keep plugged into your device at all times without it getting in your way. This is the one to go for, especially if you want it to be compatible with your car stereo. For faster speeds go for the SanDisk Ultra Fit.

Sobre el envío: Llegó en un tiempo menor al establecido, perfectamente empaquetado y con sello original. Sobre el producto: -Apariencia: Es pequeñísima, la recomendaría principalmente para usarse como medio de almacenamiento para dispositivos multimedia (Smart TV, Bocinas y reproductores de vídeo) ya que para un uso normal de almacenamiento y transporte de archivos podría ser que la pierdas muy fácil. Capacidad: En mi caso me detectó en la PC aproximadamente 58Gb, traía también unos archivos de utilidades de Sandisk, totalmente opcional si desean o no conservarlos, ocupan un mínimo de espacio. Velocidad: bastante rápida, le transferí unas 20 películas (aproximadamente 40Gb) y tardó apenas unos 45 minutos a pesar que Windows estimaba un tiempo de 1.30 horas. En la Smart TV las películas se reproducen a la perfección y sin que se trabe. Precio: La adquirí por unos $229.°° MX y de verdad que así es una excelente inversión.

This is excellent for car for songs. The pendrive is so smallnthat it is almost invisible

Its Great and very portable Being very compact I used it for my car music system and I love it. As size is very tiny hence little bit difficult to unplug from socket But one can fix string or cord to metal hook provided at one end for easy unplug

Grund: Ich habe mir den Sandisk Cruzer Fit Z33 mit 16GB Speicher mit und für mein neues Autoradio Kenwood KDC-U30R gekauft. Lieferung: Bestellt hatte ich beides Mittwoch 25.07.2012 und darauf spekuliert das es noch am Samstag geliefert werden würde. Dem war leider nicht so und es kam erst am Montag den 30.07.2012 um genau 9:57 Uhr bei mir per Standardversand an, Bearbeitung und Lieferzeit bis an meine Haustür also 5 Tage, da das Wochenende dazwischen war völlig in Ordnung. Verpackung: Es wurde beides in einem etwas großeren (zwecks Radio) Packet geliefert das ausreichend geplostert war. Der Stick alleine wäre vermutlich in einem luftgepolsterten Kuver gekommen, welche zu 100% ausgereicht hätte. Der Stick selbst kommt ineiner kleinen roten Verpackung. Öffnen: Mir war ja schon von anfang an bewusst das der USB-Stick sehr klein ist, aber wenn man das Teil dann nochmal real vor sich liegen hat denkt man für sih noch mal "WOW, der ist echt klein". Perfekt also für mein Autoradio und tut der Leistung kein abbruch. Am PC: Das erste mal eingesteckt und wird sofort vom PC erkannt ( Windows 7 64bit) es installiert kurz die Treibersoftware von selbst, danach steht er zur Verfügung. Mit dabei sind Programme "Run SanDiskSecure_Access" und "RunClubSanDisk" ersteres ist ein Programm für wichtige/geheime Dokumente welches einen Odner passwort Schützt und somit verschlüsselt, das nur Sie an diese Daten noch ran kommen. beim zweiten und letzteren Programm werd ich nicht schlau weil dort ausschließlich ein Ebay-Bundel angeboten wird mit Toolbar usw. - wenn keine Funktion total unnötig meines erachtens. Zur genauen Transferrate kann ich nichts sagen, steht aber sicherlich in anderen Rezesionen auf welcher Basis diese läuft. Für eines meiner Alben in dem Falle 139MB braucht der Stick ca. 15-20 Sekunden, finde ich optimal da ich ja wie schon erwähnt nur Musik fürs Radio drauf mache und nicht täglich am Arbeitsplatz Dateien übertragen muss, wofür er aber sicherlich genau so brauchbar ist da es ja doch recht flott voran geht. Preis/Leistung: Der Stick besticht mit seiner "kleinen" Größe, ist schlicht gestaltet in Schwarz und mit 16GB passt doch einiges an Material jeglicher Art drauf. Mit der Transferrate zwischen USB-Stick und PC bin ich ebenfalls zufrieden. Mit einem Gesamtpreis von 11,40€ Verkauf und Versand durch Amazon, ein berechtigter Preis der zum Kauf einläd!
