Flash Drives are storage devices that allow for quick backups and transfer of data from one location to another.
In modern times, flash drives have become so popular that some of us may have a couple tucked away in odd places. Unfortunately, flash drives all happen to be easy to lose as they are very portable in nature.

Hence, we are featuring some of our favorite flash drives that are both cheap and easily replaceable if you were to lose them. These drives aren’t meant to back up important data. They are more for storing documents to transfer elsewhere or to create a bootable recovery drive.
If you are looking to backup important data then we recommend you look into cloud hosting or getting an external drive.
- Microcenter Superspeed USB 3.0 256 GB Flash Drive – We start off with one of my favorite places to get an USB Flash Drive: Microcenter. Their in house brand flash drives work well to transfer files from one location to another. They are also very affordable as this flash drive is only 20 bucks on Amazon. The only drawback might be the read/write speed, as they are not known to be the quickest. However, if you are a student looking to keep all your essays and such backed up and in one spot then this might be the best way to go.
- Samsung 128 GB USB Flash Drive – Samsung is a very big and well known manufacture of hard drives and flash drives. This 128 GB flash drive performs well, is very durable, and has excellent read/write speeds. Only reason we have it as second on our list is because it’s around the same price as the MicroCenter Superspeed USB but it only has half the storage capacity.
- SanDisk 128 GB USB Flash Drive – Finally, we have this SanDisk 128 GB flash drive third on our list. If you can’t get either the MicroCenter Superspeed or the Samsung flash drive then we recommend this SanDisk. The company has been around for some time now and is popular within the flash storage and memory chip niche. This will cost around the same price as the other two but does go on sale from time to time for a little cheaper.
