Those looking to buy a flash drive should know how to choose the right one. You should take a closer look at what functions the drive performs, whether it has limitations, whether it fits your computer. Use the special selection instructions.
Instructions
Step 1
Select the software support you need: You can purchase a flash drive with a dedicated control chip. This control chip can help you install a portable software flash drive, keep your data secure, sync files, and more. Software protections are very important to keep your confidential data out of sight of unauthorized persons. You can choose flash drives that are compatible with many operating systems and do not need any driver.
Step 2
Check the baud rate. In fact, the transfer speed of USB 2.0 is about 14-24 Mbps. It is faster than USB 1.0, which is 1.5 Mbps.
Step 3
Check the design and packaging. Look not only at the design and physical shape of the model, but also at the set of accessories that may be included in the kit: belts, cases, CD driver package, waterproof kit, manual lock, USB cable and others.
Step 4
Check capacity. Choose a flash drive that at least suits your basic needs so that you don't have to buy another one in the future. Currently, the ideal size is considered to be 2-4 GB (this is enough for the daily need to store the necessary data). And don't forget to find the model that suits your budget.
Step 5
Check the warranty. Choose the warranty period that suits you. The average lifespan of a flash drive is about 2 or 3 years. People usually feel like they need more storage capacity after this period and they buy a new model.
Step 6
Pay attention to the manufacturer of the device. Choose a flash drive with high reliability and responsive service center. Do not forget to make sure of the credibility of the manufacturer and distributor. Make sure you can easily contact them for support. This will be helpful if you start to experience problems with your drive or want a warranty exchange.
