These new USB-C Flash Drives are good for speedy transfers:
Some of these drives use USB 3.2 Gen 2, allowing data transfer speeds up to 10 Gigabits per second (Gbps). This is around twice as fast as USB 3.0 or USB 3.1 Gen 1, which provides speeds up to 5 Gbps.
These flash drives are compact, and offer storage space up to one terabyte:
USB-C Flash Drives
- Samsung USB-C Flash Drive — 256 GB — waterproof and supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps speed)
- Samsung Duo Flash Drive — 256 GB — USB 3.1 (5 Gbps speed) — a good choice if you need a drive that supports both USB-C and older USB-A devices
- SanDisk Extreme PRO Flash Drive — 1 TB — USB 3.2 (10 Gbps speed) — a choice if you want maximum disk space, but there are some reports that the drive gets hot
These drives are slightly larger but offer more terabytes of storage:
USB-C SSDs (Solid State Drives)
- Samsung T7 Portable Solid State Drive — slightly less portable than the Flash Drives listed above, but faster transfer rates and more space — USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps speed) — 500 GB to 2 TB
- Samsung T7 Shield Portable Solid State Drive — a ruggedized T7 version with USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps speed) — 1 TB to 4 TB
