There are many dirt-cheap USB Flash drives on the market, often packaged as novelty items. Their storage capacity is usually limited, while offering very slow transfer speeds. And because their build quality is often poor, they don’t tend to last long.
If you’re looking for a good USB Flash drive, whether for your own use or as a gift, we recommend high-capacity drives that are engineered for today’s USB 3.1 (or higher) standard. This will greatly increase your transfer speeds and make it less of a chore to move and store large files, like high-resolution pictures or 4K movies.
