Recently, a flash card has become the most popular type of information media, leaving far in history disks, floppy disks, cassettes and other technical tricks that have gone out of fashion and have lost their relevance. But how to choose the right flash card from such a huge assortment of these little gadgets?
Instructions
Step 1
Body material
Usually, the drive body is made of metal, plastic, or rubber. Choose metal if you are a rather active person, always carry your drive with you and do not want the contents to be damaged by some accidental sudden movement.
Choose a rubber case if you want the drive to last you longer - it does not slip, scratch or break.
The plastic case is more common and cheaper, so you can opt for this if you are not going to perform some acrobatic tricks with the drive lying in an unbuttoned pocket.
Step 2
Types of connector protection
The drive is either protected by a cap or is retractable. Choose a retractable if you tend to lose small items such as caps.
Step 3
Storage volume
The amount of memory is very different. If you are going to store only documents, pictures and a little music on a flash drive, then you don't need too much memory - 4 GB is more than enough. If you have big appetites, then choose a flash drive from 8 GB. There are special flash drives for travelers, the memory of such a drive can reach 64 GB. The price, of course, will be appropriate.
Step 4
Drive design
You can find thousands of all kinds of flash drive design modifications and choose the one that pleases the eye and characterizes you the way you want it. Choose a design that suits your taste.
