Having a 128 GB pendrive has become almost crazy, for the price they had not long ago, in something completely normal (and, even, necessary to carry information from one place to another … and, also, share it in a simple). We show what the models should offer to be of good quality and, also, a list with purchase options.
The accessories we are talking about have some virtues compared to cloud storage. One of them is that the data inside can be used at all times … and without depending on the existence of Internet access. In addition, their compatibility is really good, since practically all operating systems recognize these accessories without the need to install drivers, such as Windows and macOS.
In addition, and despite what some may think, security is something that is present in 128 GB pendrives. It is true that by default anyone who connects one of these devices to a computer can access the information. But there are encryption software (free and easy to use) that avoids this by using a password. Therefore, the options that these accessories allow are really good because even privacy is a possibility.
Several things to check on these devices
In what has to do with connectivity, and being clear that USB type C models are the fastest, if what you are looking for is the greatest possible compatibility, the appropriate choice is that the device uses type A (the one considered as traditional) . If this is so, there will be virtually no computer – either laptop or desktop. By the way, it is also interesting that the version of the interface is at least 2.0 , to ensure a high data transfer and thus not have a bad user experience. In any case, the ideal is to reach 3.0 so that the speed is the best possible.
Another thing that is essential is that the 128 pendrives that are present in a potential purchase offer low consumption (rotated they are Bus Powered, so the USB port itself acquires all the energy). If this is not the case, you may have some problems with the laptops as they will excessively reduce the autonomy. By the way, the resistance should be the best possible, so it is positive that a retractable system or hood is included so that the integrated connector does not suffer any damage when carrying it from one side to the other.
The choice of 128 GB pendrives
Here there are two types of accessories: those that are “normal” or those considered “nano”, which have very small dimensions and are ideal for those who are always from one side to the other (since they take up less space than a coin two euros in your pocket). We leave different options of each of the indicated types and, in addition, with good quality options that have a very consistent price.
