How much storage do you need?

First of all, you need to consider what you will use the USB flash drive for, since this will determine how much storage space you need. will you store large music and video files or small text files?

How fast do you want the USB flash drive to transfer data?

There are currently two types of USB flash drives – USB 2.0 and USB 3.0. USB 2.0 can transfer data at a speed of around 60 megabits per second. USB 3.0 has a transfer rate of about 640 megabits per second, but to take advantage of this speed, your computer must have a USB 3.0 port.

If your computer has USB 2.0 ports, you can only transfer data at USB 2.0 speed, even if a USB 3.0 device is plugged in. The same applies if your computer is equipped with USB 3.0 ports and you use a USB flash drive with USB 2.0.
