Seshan Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Are the sandisk the only U3 drives there are? It's really hard to find the none titanium ones in stores around here. What other drives will work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhollyMindless Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Are the sandisk the only U3 drives there are? It's really hard to find the none titanium ones in stores around here. What other drives will work? Holy crap. Looks like Sandisk is the only U3 solution out there right now. Even the U3.com site didn't seem to point to anything but sandisk hardware. That is a surprise.

DMilton Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 All U3 drives work for U3 Hacking, Sandisk, Memorex, etc... :EDIT I found my new U3 Sandisk 8Gb a week ago but It took some searching work... Ebay is a good option for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tcstool Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 I'm surprised you guys are having problems finding them. They're more than plentiful down here in Tennessee at any Wal-Mart or Staple's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seshan Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 I think U3 might be patented by Sandisk, So far I have looked at, Futureshop, wal-mart supercenter, bestbuy, and The Source (Radio shack), the only ones I could fine where Titanium. I was hoping to get just a couple a 2gb ones. I found that bestbuy online Canada has 1gb and 4gb for $10 and $15 I think I will just get two 4gb ones. Since that is the best price I have seen online, most place's want 2gb for $15, and then there's another $10-$15 shipping on them but bestbuys shipping is like $3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haxwithaxe Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Hey guys, I've been doing some looking around and Sandisk indeed hold the patient for U3 and they started charging royalties for the use of the technology. So everyone else dropped the U3 stuff from their products. I've seen a few articles online saying various companies dropped inclusion of U3 from a few months ago. Now we need to find out if there is still hardware support for U3 even though it isn't advertised. I would think that they might have kept support for it to save on the cost of refitting there production lines yet again. hax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IOSys Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 What do you mean by "U3", the whole sandisk-concept or just "has a CD-ROM that can autorun" ? If it's the later there are lots of drives with controllers that can do the CD-ROM trick .. A few examples here : http://hak5.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=8614 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
