Hello Friends:
Flash drives these days are growing bigger and better, and have become the ideal medium for transportable information. Whether it is for transporting MP3s, or saving critical files as back up it has become essential that one owns a flash drive for all mobility purposes.
The first thing to look out for when buying a flash drive is the storage space it brings with itself .if one is a graphic designer, or media enthusiast it is essential that the storage space exceeds one GB . this is primarily because the most basic of Photoshop files easily cross 20 MB, and the most basic of video files easily cross 500 MB in sheer size .it 8is very important to know what would be the predominant usage of the said drive, and then to buy one that accommodates the sizes of the files really well.
Second in line is the durability of the USB drive. The basic unit for measuring life cycles for a flash drive is usually number of flashes.Kingston and other brands claim up to several Hundred thousand flashes in the entire life span of the Drive. It should be noted
That performance will start Degrading after long usage,Model a good USB drive
Should last you for around Two to three years.Third in line is the transfer
speed. USB 2.0 drives are generally faster than USB 1.0 drives, and should
be considered only if you have a compatible USB 2.0
motherboard. Another factor
that is to be considered these
days is Windows vista's Ready Boost and " Ready Boot" support. Windows Vista can instantly increase system performance with certified USB drives by using them for caches for most frequently used processes. Ready Boot is a process through
which booting up is made faster, again by using a Flash drives as a rapid cache system. So make
sure that the next drive you buy, is Vista certified for Ready Boot and Ready Boost. The last factor to be considered to be additional features that come with the flash drive. MP3 playing and FM radio Are now quite the standard
For most USB drives, and if the price increase is marginal, it is great if one
could have one with all of these features. Having said
that , the previous factors
definitely be considered
first before jumping head
long in to Good flash drives
are available from Kingston
and Crucial.
