USB Flash Drives

The Best Right Now

USB 3.0 is upon us. We're here to offer you the best options we've come across.

Storage devices have gone far beyond the archaic remnants of the past: no more will you longer see people using floppy diskettes (people who do are appropriately labeled “hipsters”), and even their successors - the CD’s and DVD’s - are slowly being replaced by flash storage. In these days, it is almost impossible not to realize why - information itself is getting bigger and faster.

Continents, countries, regions, cities, household, people - every day the global network is evolving, further improving on itself in terms of connectivity, and while today is definitely not yet the apex of its evolution, even so, the speed at which we humans communicate with the rest of the world is already outpacing us: the need for speed is very much real, and we need it now, in the most portable way possible.

One flash drive to rule them all: Kingston's beastly HyperX Predator, currently the only USB flash drive that has broken the terabyte barrier
