Thanks! How many gigs do you like for storing or moving recordings? (I'm going to add that question to the original post.)These are virtually the same devices. I use a SanDisk thumb drive (same thing) to transfer all of my online gatherings from my laptop to my desktop, which only goes online for monthly Win 10 updates. It's always a smooth operation. I also use it to move mp3 and wav files back and forth.
What is the precise usage here? What devices are you expecting to connect to, and what are their USB port types/speed? And, are you moving your personal music library of ripped CDs, Reaper projects, raw recordings off of a [Zoom, etc.] portable recorder, permanent backup? Etc...For storing and for moving digital recordings, which do you prefer and why?
And how many gigs do you like?
I want to move WAV files from one place to another or store them on a thumb/jump/flash drive for permanent backup.What is the precise usage here?

Which makes me wonder: What's a USB2 and USB3? An what about USB1?16GB drives are pretty cheap now. I buy Integral ones for £3 each in a pack of 10 (and I see they've just gone down to £2.50 each). I also use similar Integral 128GB and 256GB drives for backup (plus a hard disk backup too). The newer ones are faster than the identically packaged older ones. I'd avoid any USB2 high capacity drives because they are often extremely slow - go for USB3 which aren't much more expensive.
Different versions, as USB data transmission advanced, from 1 to 2 to 3, allowing faster (more data) to be transferred.Which makes me wonder: What's a USB2 and USB3? An what about USB1?
I didn't know they came numbered.
