I'm using one now - no problems at all; However - I don't use the U3 software. I didn't really like the added 'baggage', and I had little opportunity to take advantage of the positives. I cannot tell you one way or the other if the U3 software will work, but I can say that on at least a dozen Sony, Toshiba, and Dell notebooks, on Dell & HP desktops running Windows 7 Home and Windows 7 Pro or Enterprise - there is no problems with the hardware compatibility.

Yes, of course. You have to format it in ExFAT, it supported by Win7 and Mac without problem.Also you can format any flash drive in ExFAT, it allows files more than 4Gb

Yes, working just fine with windows 7. Only complaint about this software is that it doesn't automatically connect to your usb device. You have to manually make the connection each time. Other than that- no problems.

I believe so as long as you have a USB port. My guess is that will be the older USB 1.0 type port so expect a slow transfer time. I would format the Cruzer as soon as you plug it into your PC and select ntsf formatting. With the smallest block size possible, if it gives you that option at all otherwise you may want to see about using an online storage service or trying to connect your PC to a trusted local network and transfer to a PC with a more recent OS, Windows XP at a minimum.

It is compatible with all windows versions. It works better when you format it to NTFS instead of FAT. Hope you have a USB 3 port so you can take advantage of its full speed.

Yes, files can be copied to the SanDisk Cruzer. Do not unplug the Cruzer while files are being written to it.

Hi, I'm Jewel with Kingston Technical Support and would like to address your question. All of our USB drives are formatted to FAT32 by default and do not require to be reformatted for use with any particular Operating System. FAT32 is an older file system that is compatible with all current operating systems.

WARNING: SanDisk Cruzer 8 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive SDCZ36-008G-A11 does NOT work with new Xbox360 Slim. Unfortunately, I followed the advice here and purchased this 8GB flash drive and it does not power on at all. Yes it does work with my OLD Xbox360. I was able to transfer everthing from my old 512MB MS memory card to the SanDisk but a complete waste of money when planning to use this usb for BOTH Xbox consoles. Looks like MS won again.

I didn't see anything on the box stating that. It does work well, I use it almost daily and I haven't had any problems yet. I transfer files that are 8 -12GB's with this drive. Also it does seem work faster with the USB 2.0 computers then the 2.0 flash drives.

Can't say, you should check the manufactures specifications. Don't think so though. Sandisk (Cruzer- Titanium Plus and Micro) and and others (LaCie-Iamakey, Sony- Micro Vault Click) do have these.

Windows 7 can absolutely handle a drive this size. This drive works great with windows 7.

Thank you for the prompt reply, William. I appreciate it.What you had to say was very encouraging, but I'm still confused about one thing. Your message read as though you use the flash drive WITHOUT using the U3 software. I didn't even know that was an option. However, because I encrypted my present Sandisk flash drive by choosing a password, I can't be sure. So, are you saying that this SanDisk Cruzer Micro 16 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive comes with U3 security software, but that you simply just never chose a password?

Hey William: Kingston gives the following compatibility from their website: Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7 (SP1), Windows Vista (SP2), Mac OS v.10.6.x-10.9.x (USB 3.0 connectivity requires a USB 3.0 port). The reason would be the on-board software controlling the encryption incompatibility with the Google proprietary operating system. So, Sandisk has been advertising flash drives that are compatible with Chromebooks, but no encryption. My guidance is we are ways off before encryption software will be compatible with Android and Chromebooks (it is a numbers game unfortunately). Use a non-encrypted flash drive to get your data off the system and transfer it to a Win or Apple system that can access an encrypted storage solution. Thanks for your question and apologies for the bad news. My Best Regards, Jack

Yes, it will store photos, music or any other file that you have on your computer hard drive. Just plug the SanDisk Cruzer into any USB port on your computer then copy the files you want directly onto the Cruzer. If you have any problems see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gPsmN0oKhM. Hope this helps. BTW, these are great drives. I have several available just in case I need to share files with others.

--I contacted Velocity Micro asking if an external USB keyboard would work and I got the following answer: No the device is not plug and play compatible so a USB keyboard will not work with the reader. -Andrew Cruz Support Technician --(follow-up query)Is there any chance an app can be written to enable an external USB keyboard to work or is the USB port on the Cruz Reader strictly for file transfers? Thanks. The usb is strictly for data transfer, it could be possible to write an app that goes around this however we do not have a development team here so it would be up to a third party developer. -Andrew Cruz Support Technician --apparently the USB is not a full host controller.
