Got one after missing out on the OM 1gb drive for $40. This is a much better deal after the second rebate became confirmed.

This is my first big posting here, and i just wanted to thank people for their kind replies.

Regarding the question about the cap tightness. I would say it is neither too tight nor is it too loose. However, like Hork, I plan to use the larger plastic piece which looks like it will better protect the device. It also appears to fit more tightly over the flash drive.

In response to Controller's concern about the "not valid with any other offer" wording on the $10 rebate: I have called the rebate CS depts for both SanDisk & RadioShack. Both CSR's I spoke w/ assured me that the two different rebates will work. The phrasing only applies if you try to submit two SanDisk rebates, in which case you'll at best get one rebate to work, or at worst cause both to be cancelled. It would be the same if you tried to submit two RadioShack rebates.

I have few questions. They were out at my store and offered to ship it to me. I mentioned the 10 dollar rebate and the guy tried to print it out for me and could not so he just gave me 10 off the price out the door.

Can I still use the 10 dollar rebate if I find a copy online? Does anyone have a link to it? That would make it $2.46 after rebates

Oceanus, are you sure that coupon is still being distributed? From the search I did, it looks like that coupon expired last month. Did they start giving out a new one?

Well coupon could be YMMV, but worth a check. More than a few have found and used them...

Actually I just saw in the Fat Wallet thread that that one will not work but this one will

Edit: OOPS that is just for the mini not for the micro so I am still in a send the one you linked in and hope they honor it.

Just got one at my local RS. I received 2 rebate forms for $20 and $10.

Very good quality unit. I transferred a 100MB file to it; took a little more then a minute. My only concerns are that of the two (2) plastic caps (the larger one is by far the best) and the fact that it is recognized as a USB 1.1 device (probably a PC issue).

This is a highly recommended deal.

 

[divide by zero]

w00t! Thanks for the heads up on the $10 off $40 coupon in the Entertainment book!

I'd forgotten about the Entertainment book I bought back in Nov. so it hadn't been earning it's keep.

The Entertainment book is awesome!

www.entertainment.com

The book was only $25 so this pays for a lot of the cost.

Picked one up. The $10 as well as the $20 rebate printed out for me.

Ok, the small cap fits on tighter, but is still relatively loose. I can see it coming off in your pocket without too much trouble. The larger cap, well, there's no WAY it would stay on. It's much looser. I think this might be a problem.

Secondly, tested it with 357 MB of files copying from the HDD. It took 4 minutes, 41 seconds to complete. That's 1.27 MB/sec. Is it just me, or does that sound pretty crappy slow for a memory device and USB?

In addition, the cruzerlock utility that came on mine was version 0.9.something.something from 2003. They've got a 2.1 version available on their website to download and replace it.

direct2u shipped mine, but I got both rebates ($10 and $20). This is a crap slow unit based on the reviews I've seen, but then that's why its $13 AR for 512mb.

as far as the cap issue, maybe somebody bright will come up with an easy way to tighten these up somehow..

btw, Thanks granolagirl! good price/performance

I think you got an older drive; both of the caps fit perfectly on my drive. I'll report back Sandra results later

One local RS was OOS.
The second one had two left, SCORE!
Both rebates printed at the register.
One rebate form allows the use of photocopies. So, no problems.

THANKS OP!

Shouldn't that be Pareto-optimal?

i got 3 rebates for a total of FREE AR + tax ($3.69)


$20 - "$20 SanDisk 512MB Flash Drive Rebate Offer #7029":
http://www.radioshack.com/images/rebates/2503266b.pdf


$10 - "SanDisk Rebate Offer Promotion Number 9766":
http://images.pricegrabber.com/rebates/23936-595.pdf


$10 - Print out from register. Check yours. This $10 rebate is different from the above rebate. It's a "Sandisk Rebate Offer Promotion Number 9014-SD". A google search will direct you to a .pdf that shows a rebate for the Cruzer Mini, but my register printout clearly states that its for a Cruzer Micro.


so it may be free AR for you too.



Edit:
I just noticed that the two $10 rebates require original UPC.

Don't get greedy and try to finesse it and send them both, it's a Bozo No-No.
