Featuring fast performance, security, and online backup, the SanDisk Cruzer Titanium Plus is one of the best flash drives around.

SanDisk Cruzer Titanium Plus boasts an innovative set of features, fast data transfers, and a complimentary six-month online backup subscription, but we're put off by the subsequent annual service fee and the expensive retail price, especially when other drives at equal capacity cost much less.

Balancing the competing ideals of data accessibility and data security is a tough trick in this class of devices, and on the whole the Titanium Plus carries it off well.

SanDisk's Ultra Cruzer Titanium Plus offers automatic backup of all files on the drive. But unless you're willing to pay a $30 annual fee after six months to keep your files backed up, you're better off with a faster drive.
