Buying a USB flash drive, like any other electronic device, requires a serious approach, because if you buy the first flash drive you come across, then it is quite possible that you will have to go to the store again.
Instructions
Step 1
When choosing a USB flash drive, first of all, you should know that USB Flash drives differ not only in memory size, but also in data transfer speed, physical size, data protection capability, body materials and can be both a simple office means of storing and transferring data, and stylish fashion device.
Step 2
If you are looking for a USB flash drive to be able to transfer small files and folders from one computer to another, you can choose any model you like with a memory capacity of 2 Gb or more - this will be quite enough for these purposes.
Step 3
If you have to copy large amounts of information, music or movies to a USB flash drive, then you should pay attention to flash drive models from 8, 16 or 32 Gb. The cost of flash drives of 64, 128 and 256 Gb is too high, and in this price category it is better to take a closer look at compact external hard drives.
Step 4
When choosing a flash drive with a memory capacity of 4 Gb or more, be sure to pay attention to the data transfer speed - if the speed is less than 30 Mb / s, then you risk losing too much time copying data.
Step 5
If concern for the confidentiality of information stored on a flash drive is of paramount importance to you, then choose models that offer preinstalled programs for protecting data with a password.
Step 6
If you are looking for a stylish accessory that combines the ability to transfer data, take a closer look at the models made in metal cases, finished with natural leather or wood. Such a flash drive will always attract the attention of others and say a lot about its owner.
Step 7
Do not forget about the physical size - flash drives can be quite bulky and can take up a lot of space in your pocket or purse, as well as cover the adjacent USB port in your computer with their body. If size matters, then pay attention to the models of flash drives, the dimensions of which do not exceed one and a half centimeters in length.
