The amazing thing is how much the manufacturers can lie about the writing speeds of their products

Why would it not work? I have a 12 year old 1GB usb that still works but i only use it as backup for really old pictures.
8GB is low though, what do you use it for?
Isaac Torres
My own personal hard limit on files has always been that I be able to fit what I want to save on a USB stick.
Which means I've got about 15 years of personal files on a 8GB drive*.
* I have copies of that, but it's all that same 6.5GB of stuff.
Evan Diaz
Cheap, 32-64GB, USSB 3.0/3.1 and good write/read speeds. What do you guys recommend? I've thinking of getting a Sandisk Ultra Fit, is it any good?
Asher Cook
It's pretty good. Make sure to format.
Leo Hall
Looks like a good deal. A bit pricey but worth it for the speed. Get a 64GB one

ATP Nanodura. When you just can't tolerate data loss or malfunction:
"Industrial grade SLC USB storage flash drive ideal for mission critical industrial applications, such as a boot drive application. The rugged metal housing design, along with ATP''s advanced “System in Package” (SIP) technology covering the interior components, permits the USB drive to withstand extreme operating temperatures ranging from -40°C to 85°C, to be water/moisture proof, as well as vibration, shock and electrostatic discharge resistant. The SLC ICs can retain data for up to 10 years, while competing MLC products can only retain data for about six months."

Swissbit also makes high-reliability, high-security FLASH storage SOCs, and so offers some high-rel USB drives made with those parts.
Adam Brown
Also Windows protip: Windows can become so confused by a scrambled partition table on a USB drive's that it will not recognize it. Zeroing the drive with Linux's "dd" command (using a live distro if no dedicated Linux machine around) will usually allow Windows to work with it again.
Julian Stewart
I miss flashdrives
Asher Wright
why would you miss them? They're not gone. Do you not have any USB ports on your devices somehow user?
Nicholas Thomas
I'm looking for a USB with a red LED light that should blink when the disk is being written. Any recommendation?
