USB sticks are useful devices that will hold a large amount of data. Memory sticks are generally used to save data files including documents, photos, music, videos etc. By plugging your memory stick into a USB port you can save a large amount of data for future use.
The main manufacturers we supply are Imation and Verbatim however we also supply Q-Connect, SanDisk, Integral, Silicon Power, TDK and Dane-Elec. Memory sticks are perfect for home users, offices and students.
16GB memory stick or 64GB memory stick? - Memory Sizes
The amount you can save depends on the size of the USB stick. At HuntOffice.ie we have a range of USB memory sticks to choose from including 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB and 64GB. When selecting the USB memory stick for you, it is important to remember that the best purchase depends on your needs for the memory and capacity. You must consider the factors required for memory storage, how much is required and also ensure the USB flash drive is compatible with the devices and software you are currently using.
USB Memory Stick - Advantages
• Many USB sticks come with a slot for attaching to a keyring which makes them easy to carry around and accessible to the user
• Allows you to transfer data easily between pcs and compatible devices
• USB sticks are very convenient if you work on particular data on different pcs i.e. school and home
USB Flash Drive - Specifications
• Capacity – One of the most important factors when purchasing a USB stick, capacity refers to how much data can be stored on the memory stick i.e. 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, 32GB etc.
• Plug and play – with plug and play you only need to insert the USB stick into the USB port and your pc will automatically detect and configure the memory stick without the need for manual configuration.
• Write Speed – The write speed means how fast data can be stored on your USB stick under normal conditions. The larger the write speed the better.
• Read Speed – The read speed means how fast data can be read on your USB stick under normal conditions. The larger the read speed the better.
• USB 1.1, USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 – These refer to the versions released for the standards of USB computer connectivity. USB 3.0 would be the most recent version. The main improvements in USB 3.0 include improved transfer speed with transmission speeds of up to 5 Gbit/s (up to 10 times faster) and more bandwidth so it can receive and transfer data at the same time.
To achieve USB 3.0 results, in addition to your memory stick being USB3.0, your pc needs to have a USB3.0 port. Most USB3.0 devices are backward compatible which means they can be used in a USB1.1 or USB2.0 port however you will only experience the results of USB1.1 or USB2.0
• Password protected – Many memory sticks offer password protection and data encryption to protect your data.
