Cruzer Titanium is a sleek USB 2.0 hi-speed flash storage drive that is virtually indestructible and designed to physically protect the valuable data of business and power users. The announcement was made at the CeBIT Show where SanDisk is demonstrating the new 2-gigabyte Cruzer Titanium.

 SanDisk Cruzer Titanium - Software
The unique alloy is approximately 2.5 times the strength of titanium. Its strength, hardness, high corrosion and wear resistance make it ideal for the Cruzer Titanium. Cruzer Titanium is preloaded with the full versions of value-added portable software programs. These include CruzerLock 2, a data file encryption program; CruzerSync, which synchronizes with Outlook data; and Cruzer PocketCache, which allows for file backups with minimal memory consumption.
SanDisk Cruzer Titanium - Higher capacities
"Consumers are demanding higher capacities to store a diverse range of files and materials including high-resolution digital photos, digital music, video clips, presentations and other data that require large capacities," said Mike Morganstern, Cruzer product marketing manager at SanDisk. "The 2GB Cruzer Titanium meets these capacity requirements and combines the highest levels of data protection with an award-winning industrial design."
