Description: War Thunder is a next generation military MMO game dedicated to...
Updated 05/25/2017. The article is current for 2017.
Friends! The other day my flash drive burned out and I had to look for a new one, because. without it in our time, well, absolutely nothing. Since this is too fast-growing industry, the choice of a flash drive turned out to be difficult for me. I had to read some information on the Internet about latest trends. Today I will share this information with you.
So, first of all, we must decide on the parameters that will influence the choice of a particular flash drive model.
A compact device with excellent parameters and a large number of inputs and outputs that can satisfy any need. This is in case you need help on the forums and other sites. The round box with rubber feet should remain stable on any surface. Pleasing to the eye, simple design. All inputs and outputs are on the same side.
Turn the device on and off with the small power button - short press and turn on and hold for 10 seconds to turn off. For the work mode, you will orient the light on the opposite side of the inputs - red is off, blue is in work mode. It's even easier with a remote control.
These include:
Now let's go through each of the points in more detail.
Memory size
The primary factor when choosing a flash drive will be the amount of its memory. At first glance, everything is clear. Everyone likes to store a lot of files on them. This is exactly what they were originally designed for. To date, 32GB or more is considered acceptable. This is due to the fact that their prices are quite affordable, since progress does not stand still and what it cost big money a year ago - today no one needs it and is sold for next to nothing. In order not to be unfounded, let's turn to Yandex Market. I always check product reviews in the Market, as well as clarify the characteristics, useful service I sincerely recommend. As you can see, prices for 32GB Flashes vary around 600 rubles. If you set 64GB in the search parameters, then there the average value will be 1100 rubles. If you are not constrained in funds, then you can take such a volume, it will not be superfluous. As elsewhere, there are more expensive options and slightly cheaper. How to choose from them, this will be discussed below, in the following paragraphs, but for now let's summarize the first result.
The home screen is allowed in "metro" style - the same applies to the main settings. Check out all the pre-installed apps in the gallery below. I didn't have any delays or unexpected app hacks. Remote Control Operation remote control a little awkward on first reading, but then it gets used. All major management functions are covered by it.
With a button, you can switch to mouse mode and use the arrows on the remote to move freely, but it's not the same. It should only be on the network, for example, at home - connected to one router. Immediately after turning it on, it detects our box.
At the moment, I would advise buying a flash drive with a capacity of 32 GB or more. Prices for such volumes are very democratic (average 600r).
Read and write speed
In my opinion, this is one of the key parameters when choosing a drive. Many do not think about it and buy cheap larger devices. Such a decision may be fundamentally wrong! Buying a cheap flash card with a large amount of memory, you can lose in the speed of reading and writing information.
Again, let me give you an example. Device number one and device number two. The first flash drive has a write speed of 5 Mb / s. This means that, for example, filling all 32GB will take approximately 2 hours. Of course, it is unlikely that someone will immediately fill the drive "to the eyeballs", but the point is clear. This is a very low speed and I would not buy such a drive for everyday use. The second copy is doing better. The write speed there is already 16 Mb / s, which is much more, although there are more successful options. So, filling at this speed will take about 40 minutes. All calculations are easily verified.
Final score: - Place
Not much, but it still works. They become an indispensable tool not only for the transfer of documents. Prices differ by only ten crowns, but the speed differences are very dramatic. But this is mostly an atypical view. However, in the case of reading, the situation is completely opposite, and here the speed is very low.
For practical tests, this is similar. The drive unexpectedly surprised above average data write speed regardless of the size of the data blocks. In the case of a readout, the speed values move around the diameter and are not lost anywhere. The polished steel is perfectly visible. Of course, a good service will also be performed when the data is transferred.
Bottom line: do not save on speed, otherwise the choice may upset you. I would call the minimum write speed 16Mb / s. With the speed of reading things are a little bit different. It is generally always higher by 1.5-2 times.
Hull size and strength
Let's combine the hull parameters in one paragraph and highlight everything at once. To start, I'll say common truth, which works anytime and anywhere: the fewer moving parts and complex elements, the better! Make everything always as simple as possible and this will be the right decision. If the flash drive slides out or leaves the case or the case spins around it or something else, then it will most likely break in a month or two, or even earlier!
In most cases, the drive ranged below average performance in synthetic tests, only in the case of writing large data blocks it was slightly above average. In the case of writing and reading in synthetic tests, the performance of this drive moved to the center of the original field.
In synthetic benchmarks, the drive writes above average for smaller data blocks. It had problems with the larger ones and performance fell below average. Reading was slightly below average for all data block sizes. In synthetic tests, the disk was written relatively well with smaller blocks of data, but performance dropped significantly for larger blocks. Reading data was generally below average. For practical tests, write performance was very poor, slightly better was write speed where the drive was approaching average.
Next, I will talk about the dimensions of the case. If it is irregularly shaped or just "thick", then you will not be able to place it next to another card, because the entrances are always very close to each other and if you need to transfer data, for example, to a friend in the office or university from your flash drive to his , then there will be inconvenience. You will find that both devices at the same time simply do not fit into the slots.
I would not advise buying something similar to the elements from the picture: 
In addition to crap, when used, they will not bring you anything else.
What are flash drives?
The price, however, is in line with the performance, which only led to seventeenth place. The disk differs in the speed of writing and reading data with the smallest data blocks. As the size increases, performance drops, and the worst data blocks are already bad.
Very poor performance when writing large blocks of data and poor performance even when reading these blocks. The same situation in practical tests, slow writing and slow reading. All this meant big loss points. To some extent possible tax for smaller sizes. Then there is the disproportionately high price. Simple, if you don't need speed or price, a beautiful and practical key ring.
Bottom line: do not buy non-standard flash cards, as well as flimsy-looking ones. You don't want to be without a hull in a week.
Other little things
Finally, I want to note that you are unlikely to need all sorts of fingerprint systems and other “gadgets”. They have no practical value, but only affect the price of the product. Let's see an example. If you pay attention to the reviews, most users note either inoperative recognition or working with errors. The downside will also be the mandatory installation of third-party software, which in itself, for example, is impossible in offices.
In the synthetic test, the drive gave balanced performance, but towards the end of the run field. There was no glory in practical tests, but surprisingly it slightly improved the quality of writing than reading. But yes, it actually looks good. How about restoring it on a lighter?
Drives offer higher capacity but less durability and a higher price tag. We were interested in machining and durability, but most of all in the design of the port. There are several types: most of the cap is equipped with a cap that is easy to lose. The second type is the push structure, in which either a portion of the flash drive body is removed to expose the connector, or the connector is pushed out of the body through an eject mechanism.
Bottom line: don't chase the newfangled stuff, because you only need a flash drive, not a food processor.
Many readers are interested in which specific 32GB flash drive to buy?
Look, if you do not have a USB 3.0 interface, then I advise you to take Transcend JetFlash 600. If there is a USB 3 version, then you can already take Transcend JetFlash 780, here the speeds are appropriate, but all at the expense new version tires.
While this may not reflect some clean design ideas, the indicator diode is very important in practice. Flashing while copying gives the user peace of mind and prevents them from disconnecting the flash drive at a time when they could lose data - hand on heart, few people do a safe removal of software.
Big differences in speed and power
He also found power uniformity or fluctuations as the desirability remains the same and of course as high as possible. Even if we think about space for any firmware, the actual capacity under this limit shouldn't go too far. The ideal is a compromise between high speed and high quality construction, with write speed often more important.
Well, that's all, now you know how to choose a flash drive. And finally, from the firms I would recommend Transcend, Silicon Power and Kingston.

I had a retractable flash drive, it all ended up crawling back when stuck into the computer and I had to hold it in order to stick it into the port. Better to take the "monolith", so to speak. Simple and reliable.
Which case and method of closing the connector to choose
In appearance, it is an ordinary plastic flash drive with a loop hole, which has a very good eject port. The sliding mechanism has a nice ride and a hard click and lock at both ends. It's there, a little hidden. You can find a simple encryption program directly. Cover is over weak point, but it's holding on, but it can't be undone. But he writes a lot in writing, where he gives only an average result.
Pasting first will open the port. The aluminum layer is about one millimeter thick, under it under the hard plastic. There is also a stylish strap and an indicator diode. He disapproved of small files, but was a little weaker. Apparently it's the same hardware in a different package.

Yes, I had the same problem! And a friend also has a retractable one - everything broke in a month somewhere! It is better to take a simple one to be reliable!
- myblaze - 21.05.2012 10:19
My silicone power just burned out :) And the transcend works like a clock. Apparently here how lucky, well, it apparently depends on the intensity of use.
- myblaze - 21.05.2012 10:22
Yes, I agree, the fewer retractable / rotating parts, the better :)
No, Max didn’t run past, I just tried to make the article livelier somehow: DThe official speeds are half, so we either hit the good bit or there is a mistake in the description. A rubber body may not be able to create a reliable pull mechanism. A lid with a lid that apparently won't suffer from many drops on concrete and subsequent fading. A huge advantage is its slim profile, which makes it easy to connect to the worst access ports.
Despite his general form, it achieves high speeds comparable to both kingstones, surpassing them in sequential writing. Unlike rubberized models, it is more suitable for a women's handbag. Durable fleece where speed is second. The very solid round aluminum case has a small bar at both ends. To connect, loosen the threads with the built-in rubber o-ring.

Glad you liked it :)
Now I am writing another article, but on the topic of SEO, stay tuned! :D - careless accountant -

I use Transcend (I consider them the most reliable) and Kingston (because they were given as a gift - no complaints).
BUT HDD Toshiba is also happy) pah-pah-pah) - Smex - 21.10.2012 16:26
And I am the proud owner of Silicon Power 16Gb with a retractable connector, which the author of this blog broke for me, a radish and now, so that when inserted into the port, the connector does not climb inside the flash drive case, there is a piece of a match - no complaints :)
Recovery Test Results
It's very simple but with perfect rigidity - the precise carving gives you the feel of the perfect product.
A small flash drive with a retractable design whose simple plastic casing enhances the soft rubberisation. Nice is only open since the light blue, crumpled plastic of the inner body is very cheap. However, the big advantage is that there is no cover and the insertion mechanism works reliably. Unfortunately, the diode is missing. - -

Now it became clear why I have a movie (6-7GB) recorded on one flash drive for 10 minutes, and on another 30 minutes. thanks to the author for a very good article.

Timur, no problem! Come again. For example, today or tomorrow I will post an article on choosing an e-book, it will be interesting!
The most reliable flash drives
For small files, it has no problem reading them quickly, but writing is rather slow. The advantage is a small compact body, but it provides high speed. Due to the slow recording and only the average body, its price should be a little lower.
The pusher mechanism of the plastic case with the front rubberized part for better grip works well. Measured speeds are about half that of previous models in the test, which is a high power jump. In addition, the recording is quite slow, but it reaches the values specified by the manufacturer. The advantage is a simple, though not entirely smooth mechanism, but because of its speed, it is more expensive. The rubber loop at the end is probably often used to get out of the port, even if it doesn't last for several years.

32 and 16 GB flash drives costing about 400 ru from Chinese sites have a very low write and read speed? would you buy one like this?
- timur - 03/05/2013 21:02
nooo, to my regret, I bought a similar "flash drive" for 16GB in m video, the recording speed was just awful - about 3-5 mb / s. This is very small and, accordingly, files are recorded for a long time! Now I choose these things more carefully. Now I’m using TransScend (jet flach 760), the write speed on USB 2.0 is 25 mb / s, and with USB 3.0 about 38-45 mb / s. I am very pleased with it, and it is not expensive, I took it in October 2012: 870 rubles for 32 GB
What is a flash drive?
The reversible rubber cap keeps you protected and you just don't lose it and it fits perfectly into the rubber tongue. In addition, it is resistant to water and impacts, of course with an attached cover.
The plastic cap is very strong, but it attaches comfortably and can be attached to the other end of the fleece. This is a hard material, but you can protect it to keep it beautiful.It is sold in an unusual white box. The metal body, unlike the cap, is quite durable. However, they found it slower in the test. The element is 32 mm long, including the loop and the blue indicator. The aluminum design provides enough strength to carry, even in a coin purse, where its small size and weight make it only two grams without any problems.
- Yana - 03/05/2013 22:37
thanks, I'll probably look for a normal flash drive)) where do you say you bought it so successfully for 32 GB?
- timur - 03/06/2013 20:49
Please =), the store is "DNS" (a network of digital technology supermarkets throughout Russia), they also have their own website, good luck =)
- Seorubl - 15.03.2013 18:26
I also don’t like retractable flash drives, they have too flimsy locks. Therefore, I always take flash drives without moving parts and a standard “brick” shape. I also like flash drives with a transparent case so that the microcircuit can be seen. It is also more reliable if the cap fits snugly against the iron connector itself and rests on it, and not only due to plastic hooks on the case.
More of these dimensions could no longer be squeezed out. The inscription is blocked and the capacity is not displayed on it. The speeds achieved are very low and the simple design without an indicator aligns only relatively low price. The cheapest flash drive in the test is also the slowest. Its design is certainly interesting. The sliding mechanism of the glossy plastic body is pressed in the same way as the ball point.
Decide on the body of the flash drive
Also, in the middle of the tank, there is a momentary reduction in speed to a minimum, so the controller does not go too far. The actual capacity is lower than it should be after just a gigabyte. You can upload a large amount of data. Do flash drives still make sense?

Seorubl, you are right about the lid, although I have a Transcend flash drive with a lid just on plastic hooks, it is already more than 2 years old, the flight is normal.
- Shuld - 28.04.2013 15:03
A few additions and clarifications, with the permission of the author:
1. More about speed calculations
If the write speed is 5 Mb/s, then 32 GB will be filled in (approximately) 32,000 Mb/ 5 Mb/s/ 60 sec = 107 min, i.e. faster than 2 hours.
But, of course, this is not good speed!2. Manufacturers make flash drives cheaper all the time. Therefore, the same model purchased in different years, can vary greatly in write speed (the new one is worse!). So, it is no longer possible to recommend the Transcend 700 today, it has “become” slow! But for now, we can recommend 600 and 780.
3. Not everyone seems to read specifications flash drives on manufacturers' websites. And they don’t know that flash drives with different capacities have different speeds. For the Transcend JetFlash 600, the manufacturer specifies
Read up to 32 MByte/s, Write up to 7 MByte/s (4GB);
Read up to 32 MByte/s, Write up to 12 MByte/s (8GB);
Read up to 32 MByte/s, Write up to 16 MByte/s (16~128GB)
That is, for flash drives with a capacity of less than 16 GB, the write speed is noticeably lower!4. It is necessary, in theory, to say more about the format of the file system.
Flash drives are sold formatted in the FAT32 file system. It has a file size limit of 4 GB.
To write files longer than 4 GB, you need to format the flash drive in NTFS or exFAT.NTFS is the old system that everyone knows about. Most will recommend her.
But she has flaws. For example, like this.
I copy a 1.45 GB file to a Transend V60 flash drive, 8 GB. The progress bar very quickly shows about a third of the bar and the remaining time is 20 seconds (?), then the process slows down, and shows that there are 60 seconds (?) left. And when the strip reaches the end, .... in this state it “hangs” for 40 seconds, and only after that the process ends. The copying time in this case is 2 m 48 s. In general, inadequate. This is a feature of the NTFS system specifically.
And in exFAT (as in FAT32) - the bar process behaves “correctly”, first it shows that 2 m 30 s are left, then 2 m, and so on.
exFAT recording time - 2 m 30 s
FAT32 Write Time - 2m 55sAnd now about the more modern exFAT.
This file system specially designed for flash drives and has some advantages over NTFS. For example, more user volume after formatting (by about 1%), measures have been taken against the “wear and tear” of flash drives! The latter is actually becoming more and more relevant. The newer the development of memory chips, the fewer rewriting cycles they withstand.
the first memory was SLC - 100,000 resource cycles
then MLC - 2000
TLC - 500-1000
4LC - 100-200
Modern flash drives can start to fail without even a year working. - Daniel - 05/29/2013 20:21

Seems like a common marketing ploy to me. Add a microUSB connector and a new "sensation" and "breakthrough" is ready. In fact, the volume and speed of the flash drive is quite normal.
- Dasha - 15.09.2013 22:01
Yesterday I bought a Smart 5 in 1. The volume can be independently varied from 8 to 40 gigabytes, and the speed is very decent. There are many write cycles. I think she's cool, but that's my opinion.

- Stas - 11/18/2013 01:43
It’s a normal gadget, and the company is familiar to me, I’ve come across it before, so I took it without hesitation. Works well, I like it.
- Stas - 22.11.2013 22:05
I meant QUMO 5-in-1. It plows perfectly, the speed is good, there are no complaints. I can't help but agree with Dasha, she's cool.
- Ausweiss - 10.12.2013 13:30
If a flash drive is used, for example, for backup storage of rarely updated files, you can (and maybe should) save on speed. Since especially high-speed flash drives can be more expensive than usual one and a half, two or more times.
- Nikolai - 12.03.2014 21:56
Why offend a person, he tried. If you can, write your review. I want to add from myself. Now you need to buy usb-3 flash drives. work fine on computers with usb-2.1. Only the speed will be less than on computers with usb-3 interface. My preference is for flash drives in metal or rubberized cases.

Each device has its own maximum size that they support. This means that your registrar only supports 16 or even 8 GB flash drives, and 32 is too much for it.

- Danya - 29.12.2014 11:04
I do not advise taking the Jet Flash 600.
I bought two for myself, a black one and a white one for 16 GB, I used them 4 times a week, as a result, the white one worked for 3 months, the case loosened up, cannot be repaired, I handed over the money back.
Black lives out its first year.
The speed is super, but the assembly is not. - -
29.12.2014 17:53
Danya, well, the case is probably not a critical indicator, the main thing is that the read / write speed is adequate and the price is low, I think so.

Used JetFlash 500 from Transcend. An unpleasant moment was noticed when using. When connected via a USB extension cable (used at the enterprise to restrict access to the rear wall of the PC) and when recording to a flash drive, the media disappeared from the list of devices, i.e. turned off; when reconnected, even without an extension cord, the flash drive stopped being read. I decided that this instance was not working and decided to open it and see what was inside, but the programmer saw my torment and, using the utility from the manufacturer (JF_Format_Tool), brought it back to life (he said that this trouble happens regularly with Transcend). Subsequently, I used this utility several times a month (I forgot about the feature and connected an extension cable via USB, then write the file and hello), but the unpleasant aftertaste remained. If the manufacturer provides a set of utilities for restoring the performance of a flash drive, which you have to use very often, this is bad.
Choosing a flash drive for a computer is not difficult, but there are times when certain requirements are imposed on this device. Need high speed, durable application, full compatibility with all available devices and so on. In such a situation, the advice of a qualified professional is indispensable. This article will describe how to choose a flash drive, what you need to pay attention to first of all, and also how to check the reliability of a particular model.
Flash drive interface
Modern flash drives for a computer are offered with the following interfaces, paying attention to them, you can count on the fact that the choice will be made correctly:
- USB 2.0 a device with such an interface is able to operate at a speed of 480 Mb per second. Some devices with USB 2.0 provide at the same time an eSATA interface, which for the most part is used to effectively connect various third-party drives to a PC or, if high speed data transfer rates are required. AT this case level top speed can increase up to 3 GB in one second. The main advantage of this interface is the ability to reduce the load on the equipment.
- USB 3.0 it's relative new type flash drive interface. It was designed to effectively speed up the process of data exchange between certain devices. If you need to purchase a good flash drive, it is better to give preference to this particular one, since the data transfer speed limit will be only 4.8 GB per second. Devices of this kind are compatible with different connectors.
There are also flash drives with a USB 1.1 interface, but this is an outdated version and now such devices are practically not produced. For modern times, they have a very low level of data transfer.
Memory size
Before choosing a USB flash drive, first we will decide on its volume.
When choosing a flash drive, it is important to take into account the amount of information that will need to be written to the device. It is worth noting here that the larger the amount of memory, the higher the cost of the drive, therefore it is not at all necessary to purchase a device with such capabilities that may not even be required. Below are the main examples of which flash drive is best suited for what purposes:
- Up to 2 GB - worth choosing if you plan to transfer text files and a small number of images;
- Up to 16 GB - purchased to work with photos, music tracks and some movies;
- From 16 to 64 GB - devices that are used to transfer, as well as store files with games, movies, as well as voluminous documents;
- Over 64 GB - are necessary if there is a need to transport data with a small size of the device itself.
Important! If there is no such device, it is better to purchase an external hard drive, which will be an order of magnitude more affordable and more reliable in terms of cost.
Data read and write speeds
This parameter is important in situations where a flash drive is used as a carrier of films from which they will also be viewed. Such a device is inserted into the media player and you can watch a movie. The importance of the indicator is based on the fact that if the speed is low, the film made in high quality will start to slow down. This indicator is of great importance even if large files are being transferred.
As for data recording, this parameter is also very important. Many experience irritation at a low speed of recording information. The indicator is measured in MB and can be from 1 to 175 MB in one second. The higher given parameter, the more quickly recording is carried out.
Important! In modern stores, these two parameters are rarely indicated, despite their importance, therefore it is recommended to ask about them.
Flash drive protection
Before choosing a flash drive, consider such an important and desired function as her protection.
Currently, it is possible to purchase a device with additional protection - they can be closed with a special password. Protection of such a plan is installed using a special program, which may already be installed on a USB flash drive, and can also be supplied simultaneously with it on a special disk. Some models make it possible to put a password not on the entire drive, but only on part of the data, this makes the process of working with the device even more comfortable.
You can choose a flash drive with a sensor that reads the fingerprint of its owner. Such devices have appeared relatively recently, and they serve to ensure a high level of security for all recorded data. The principle of operation is quite simple, during the initial use of the flash drive, a fingerprint is read, and on subsequent launches, you just have to touch the corresponding place.
Speaking about data protection, it can be noted that there are flash drives equipped with a special latch that will prevent files from being overwritten, thereby effectively saving them. This function is very convenient in cases where there are several devices in use at the same time, when there is a risk of confusing one flash drive with another.
Ability to back up data
If there is important information on the flash drive, experts recommend purchasing devices with just such an opportunity. Its essence lies in the fact that at the same time as the flash drive itself, a special effective software which is installed on a personal computer. Strictly according to the schedule or when a flash drive is inserted into the slot, the software starts copying data, writing information to the hard disk in a pre-specified folder.
Structural features of a flash drive
Currently, devices equipped with a waterproof case are being produced. They are not afraid to spill a glass of water, drop it into a puddle, and so on. To protect the design itself, many manufacturers produce flash drives with retractable connectors or with caps.
When purchasing a high-quality USB drive, it is worth studying its external design characteristics, since in addition to technical qualities, you often want the device to also have an attractive appearance, especially if there is a need to purchase a flash drive as a gift. On the this moment firms produce flash drives in the form of figurines, key chains, pendants.
