1. Speed of pen drive/USB flash

When you will purchase a pen drive/ USB flash, there are two types of the version available in the market: one is 2.0 version and 3.0. Version 3.0 has more speed than 2.0. The speed capacity of the 3.0 version transfers data at a speed of 100MB per sec, while the 2.0 version does this work at 10-15 MB per sec. Version 3.0 is new in the market. On our laptop and desktop, a 2.0 port is available. So if we purchase the 3.0 version it is no use of us, if we use the 3.0 version on our laptop it will give a speed of 2.0 version.

2. Size of pen drive/USB flash

The size of this device plays a very vital role. If the size is bigger and thicker, it plays a good role, a smaller size does not give a superb performance. Today the size of this device is becoming smaller and thinner. The weight also explains its performance because with the understanding of weight we can understand that they have used the more component in the device. If the weight of the thinner device is less, it is easy to carry anywhere but due to the use of fewer components; it damages soon and easily.

3. Password protected pen drive/USB flash

If you carry important data in your device and very serious about its security, use a password-protected pen drive. By using a password-protected device, you may secure your data permanently.

4. Judge the quality and not price

Many times we have observed that there is a similarity between devices of the same company but there is a difference in price, in this condition I will suggest you that purchase the costly device. They may pack the costly devices with more components, weight, and size. So if you have a desire to buy, it would be better for you. These types of devices provide high transfer speed and some extra features. But if you want to purchase this device for general use, then economical devices would be also better.

5. Limited lifespan

Every pen drive/USB flash has a limited lifespan. This device can run a 3 to 5000 cycle, which is very high. One more point I want to say you that if you borrow a pen drive from your friend, it is not much use for you because it has already been used many times or you can say it has done so many cycles for the use of data transfer. So in this condition, if you use this device, you may lose your data.

6. Compatibility with the operating system

Most of the reputed branded pen drives are very compatible with all the common operating systems like window XP, window 7, and others.

So if it causes any problem, you can replace or repair it from their service center. If you want to purchase this device for general use, you must check its transfer speed.
