I have around 6 SanDisk Cruzers of various sizes (they got so cheap,  
I couldn't
resist buying them here and there), and all of them work great.

However, the *first* thing I do is to toss the thing onto a Windows  
box and use
U3 to *remove* U3 and fully reformat the stick as just a plain old  
FAT32 drive.

To remove U3 you'll need to use the special U3 removal program from  
Sandisk.

Here's a link to the Mac version:



Here's the Windows version:

Which does not work under 10.5 and there are no plans to update the  
program. Also why I recommend against getting Sandisk flash drives.  
It's too bad, they make good drives, but an aggressively Mac-hostile  
attitude should not be rewarded.

Bleeping Google, I didn't get the message Steve quoted, about the CMC  
stuff. That would be a nifty trick to 'terminate' a lost or stolen  
drive, which by definition is beyond your control.

encrypted disk image on the thing. Free, built into Disk Utility.
