5 Tips to Help With Buying Promotional Flash Drives

Flash drives have become the norm for computerised Data Storage, and many businesses have taken advantage of the craze as a means of advertisement via promotional flash drives. Investing in a Flash Drive is almost essential because of the ease in which data can be transported and the decrease of memory usage on computer hard drives. However, do not be fooled into thinking that flash drives are one size fits all devices. Confusion and indecisiveness can be common reactions when buying flash drives since the market is flooded with different name brands, sizes, styles and features. Here are 5 tips to help with buying promotional flash drives:

1. What will be stored? Decide exactly what will be stored on the flash drive. Common files that utilise a minimum amount of storage space include spread sheets and word processing documents. Pictures, movies, and music files tend to take up more storage space. Make sure that the promotional flash drive supports the file types that will be stored.

2. How many gigabytes? Flash drives can be 1GB or 2GB (gigabytes) or more,

which means that roughly 1,000 to 2,000 pages or more can be stored, respectively. The number of gigabytes is an important fact to consider since more gigabytes equates to more storage space.

3. Is the flash drive durable and under warranty? Flash drives come in many different types of

casing: metal, wood, plastic, and leather, however, metal-cased flash drives are known to be

more durable. Plastic-cased flash drives have been known to crack and also to split. Whether

wood-cased, metal-cased, or plastic-cased, the flash drive should have a metal connector that

will connect to your computer, laptop, camera, phone, video game, or other device. If

the promotional flash drive is under warranty, consider the various malfunctions that are

covered by the warranty. It is uncommon for manufacturers to cover any type of malfunction caused by water damage, misuse such as dropping, or extreme hot or cold temperatures.

4. Can the flash drive be used for other things? Consider the special features and multiple usages of the flash drive. Many open or swivel to be used as bottle openers, pens, lights, Wi-Fi finders and much more. Some are worn as wrist bands or attached to chains or lanyards. There are many colour options that are either solid or transparent, and numerous shapes and sizes.

5. How much does the flash drive cost? The amount of data that will be stored is usually a major factor of the cost of the flash drive. Here again consideration of the number of gigabytes is essential. Flash drives with 4GB can cost £6+ retail; 8GB can cost £11+ retail; 16GB can cost £14+ retail, and 32GB averages £32 or more. The shape, size, and casing can also contribute to the cost of the flash drive, if buying in bulk for your firm then our site has a great range of wholesale prices when buying many usb drives.
