Are you having trouble deciding two types of promotional flash drives for your business? Despite their small size, USB sticks can still come in various formats, shapes, colours, and even capabilities.
Here are
the five most important features of a promotional
flash drive:
1.
Storage
capacity
The
first thing people look at when buying flash drives is their storage capacity.
After all, data storage is the primary function of these thumb-sized sticks. Below
is a quick look at their most commonly available memory sizes:

memory can hold up to 5,120 photos, 1,920 audio files, or 2,560 minutes of
video.
·
32GB

memory can hold up to 20,480 photos, 7,680 audio files, or 10,240 minutes of
video.
·
64GB
This
memory can hold up to 40,960 photos, 15,360 audio files, or 20,480 minutes of

2.
Chip
grade
Have you
ever heard sellers talk about the Grade A chips in their flash drives? You may
not have thought much of it, only basing your purchase off of storage capacity.
But chip grade actually determines the overall quality of a USB stick.
Grade A
chips are the best on the market, used by some of the world’s leading tech
brands. Meanwhile, Grade C chips are much cheaper, have lower life
expectancies, and a higher chance of failure.
3.
Interface
USB
interface determines the speed and efficiency and of a promotional flash drive. You might be
familiar with USB 2.0, which is the most common port on the market and has an
average transfer speed of 480Mbps.On the other hand, USB 3.0 drives are more
advanced, with up to 4,800Mbps transfer speed.
4.
Body
Promotional flash drives come in various
shapes and sizes. Typical examples are swivel USBs, curve USBs, and probe USBs.
You’ll also find more unique options such as drives in the shape of bottle
openers, wristbands, credit cards, and even pens.
5.
Design
You have
the freedom to design your flash drive according to your preferences or an
overall theme. There’s no limit with colours you can choose, shapes you can go
for, and even logos and names you can print.
