Here’s yet another USB flash drive for your consideration - it’s from the folks at SanDisk and it’s called the SanDisk Cruzer Pattern USB flash drive. The Cruzer Pattern includes a clip that makes it easy to attach the drive to nearly anything - a pocket, a bag, or even a backpack strap. Features of the Cruzer Pattern include U3 smart technology which allows you to run applications directly from the drive and as well as providing password protection, your choice in gray or black colors, and availability of two capacities - 1GB or 2GB. The Cruzer Pattern USB flash seems like the perfect fit for kids going back to school this fall and the price seems just right too. The 1GB model has an MSRP of $9.99 while the 2GB model has an MSRP of $14.99.

Let’s face it - USB flash drives are a god-send to humanity. What other device can store so much data, take a beating, and take up nearly no room in your pocket? Need to transport a few hundred megs of data? Throw onto your drive. Need to bring a few MP3s and a MPEG4 video with you? Copy it onto a flash drive. Awesome tool right? One little problem though. What happens when you forget to bring that flash drive with you? Yeah.. a real bummer and nearly all of us have run into that problem at one point or another. SanDisk Corporation has a partial solution to the problem in the form of the new Cruzer Titanium Plus USB flash drive. The Titanium Plus offers automatic online backup of every file copied to the drive. Yup.. copy a file to the drive and that very same file will be automatically backed up online to a personal password protected online account. If your computer isn’t connected to the Internet, then the backup will automatically take place the next time there is an Internet connection.

Thus, the next time you copy a file to your Cruzer Titanium Plus, you’ll know that the file will also be available via an online accessible secure account. Forget the Titanium Plus? No problem - simply log into the online account and download the file(s) to your computer. Of course this all works ONLY if you have an Internet connection somewhere.

Other features of the SanDisk Cruzer Titanium Plus include:

• 4GB of space
• Rugged crush-resistant metal case
• Optional security with password protection and AES hardware data encryption
• Two years of free lost and found service from BoomerangIt
• Six months of free online backup service

The Cruzer Titanium Plus will be available starting in March for an MSRP of $59.99. The online backup service will cost $29.99 per year after the six months of free service expires.
