How to Buy a Flashdisk

The following information are dedicated for those who want to buy the best quality of flashdisk, I will explain it step by step with higher priority from the upper of paragraphs.

Software support

You can choose any product which has a control chip inside the unit. This chip will easily allows us to install the USB flash drive with many portable software applications, such as: Security Software, Partition Software, File Synchronization and more other. The Security Software is very important to keep your files safety from an unauthorized access of any persons. You can choose a product which is compatible with any Operating System without bother to install a software driver.

Data Transfer Speed

In fact, the data transfer speed from USB 2.0 is about 14MB/s up to 24MB/s. However the speed will decrease if we use USB cable or USB switch-hub, even the USB 2.0 has better speed than USB 1.1 which only has 1.5MB/s data transfer speed.

The Capacity

Make sure you buy the flash drive which meet your needs. Mostly, the standard capacity is 2GB, but if you feel the 2GB is not enough for your needs you can buy separately i.e.: 2 or 3 units. Do not buy 1 unit which has a big capacity, why? I will explain it in another case. But for this time, you just need to follow my suggestion.

The warranty

The best warranty is life time warranty, that's it. However, generally the usage of this flash drive is about 2 to 3 years, just because the technology will never end, you may found the new generation of flashdisk in the 3rd year or maybe in the 2nd year. As I have 5 times change my flash drive just because following the technology trends within 3 years.

Manufacturer and Distributor

Make sure the flashdisk is coming from the manufacturer which was legitimated and integrated in this product, also which have a service center, do not buy it from an unknown manufacturer. So that, you will not have to worry when you got your flash drive has broken.

Design and accessories

This is the last step you may need to review before you buy the flashdisk. Not only the design and model, but you can make sure you will get accessories like, casing closure, CD driver, water resistant pack, manual locker, USB cable and other.

Make sure you have passed the above steps before buying any flashdisk. I hope it can help.
