Software
The Cruzer Titanium includes U3 Smart technology, which allows you to transfer software and files from one computer to another.
Like all of the USB drives in the Cruzer Micro and Cruzer Titanium series, Skype is also included, so you don't need to download it to enjoy voice and video calls with anywhere in the world.

SanDisk's Cruzer Titanium is a USB key with a metal exterior which gives it a solid appearance. It doesn't come with a cap that you'll only manage to lose after a few days, but instead the USB connector slides into the body of the key.
Even better, if SanDisk's publicity is to be believed, it provides 'incredibly' fast data transfer. Let's see if that's true.

Given the results we found for writing data to the Cruzer Titanium, we were a little disappointed: it only managed an average of 6.7 MB/s, while the very best keys can reach above 12 MB/s. Its read speeds improved things a little, with an average transfer rate of 21.6 MB/s, which leaves the Titanium just behind the fastest keys in our selection.

Write speeds
The Cruzer Titanium is a robust USB key with good read speeds and will suit most people's needs. Its main weakness, though, is its write speeds, which mean big files are best avoided.
