Custom USB Flash Drives: Does Size Matter?
“Bigger isn’t always better” as the old axiom goes. Well when it comes to USB flash drives, smaller isn’t always cheaper. Let me explain why:
The manufacturers of NAND storage chips for USB flash drives continue to make larger and larger sized chips, because that’s what their customers want and that’s where the market is going. Today it is common for personal USB drives to hit 8, 16, or even 64GB at the high end of the spectrum. Naturally, a steep price accompanies these cutting-edge drives.
The truth is that flash drives with such enormous capacities are far too large for most people’s needs. Today’s multimedia files have such amazing compression that a full-screen video clip, audio lecture, or presentation can fit comfortably on a 1GB, 2GB, or 4GB drive with plenty of room to spare.
When shopping for USB drives, it’s easy to overbuy and end up with more space than you really need. Imagine getting yourself into a Ferrari when all you really need is a grocery-getter!
On the other hand, it can be just as bad to under-buy and get less space than you need. Many customers think they can save money by purchasing the smallest USB flash drives available. This plan often backfires when they discover there’s not enough space for their intended project.
The truth is that the cost of upgrading from a small drive to a standard size drive is marginal. We’re talking about a difference of just a few pennies between one drive and another.
