SanDisk Cruzer Blade 16GB write protected error

Ed,

Are you serious that you, as an ‘expert’ still think that it is a Windows problem? I have the same issue only from a few days ago, but I have read several topics and tried all the suggested solutions with no success, so it is clear that it is a HARDWARE ISSUE FROM SANDISK!!!

So you are either not an expert or you’ve got the instructions from your management that you need to blame the people or Windows, etc.

Many people can’t return the product for replacement since it contains already sensitive data which can’t be deleted due to the  hardware issue , but readable.

And you know, it is very interesting that SanDisk dramatically reduced the price of these drives recently. So it seems that by now it is clear for everyone including SanDisk that the products are bad , and no real solution exists to this problem, so SanDisk is trying to get read of the bad products quickly.

You know it is very sad, but hopefully people will ‘appreciate’ it long term… With this reacton, SanDisk is a failed brand…
