Flash drives have come a long way since the early days. Today we’re not going to talk about the best available, but rather an inexpensive workhorse. Yes, I’ll include an Amazon link so you can pick up a few at the best prices available. Use my link and I get a few pennies. No, I didn’t get any other compensation for writing this.

USB 3.0 provides the fastest protocol for transferring data to a flash drive. We’re talking about a drive that is USB 2.0. So it is not as fast, but that also means it costs less. Our goal is a lot of storage for a good price and that’s what you’ll get with the SanDisk 256GB Cruzer USB 2.0 Flash Drive.

It will take a little longer to fill it with data, but the lower price makes it a more reasonable choice for providing large amounts of data to clients or friends. Maybe you should get several so you’ll have them ready when the need arises.
