USB drives are one of the best ways to store things while you are on the go. They work the best for smaller files, but they are capable of holding files up to 64 gigabytes in size. In order to use them simply plug them into your computer and transfer your files from your computer over to the hard drive on the device. Most transfers only take a few minutes and you will have the files with you wherever you go without having to worry about losing them.

The best thing about a USB memory device is how easy it is to carry around with you. Most of them are smaller than your thumb in size and you can stick them in your pocket without a second thought. They come in a wide range of shapes and sizes, but the standard is a thin stick that is only a couple inches in length.

There are different variations to how the device works. Some of the devices have a slider that will pop out the USB connector part of the device. When you are not connecting the device to a computer you can slide the head back inside the plastic casing to protect it from being bent out of shape.

Other USB devices have the connector head on a swivel with a slit on the plastic case. The head can swivel around to be either tucked away inside the case, or out in the open. The last type of connector is the one with a plastic cap that covers the head. You simply put the plastic cap on the end of the stick to protect the head when it is not in use. This will keep it from being bent and when you are ready to use it again you take off the cap and go to town. The only downside to this version of the device is that the cap is very easy to lose and you will probably find yourself misplacing it. One way to remedy this is to attach the cap onto the end of the device using a string.

With all of the different sizes of devices out there and different styles that they come in you have a nearly limitless pool of memory sticks to choose from. Make sure that you pick out a device that matches your needs completely. This means that it should be large enough to hold any files that you would want to take with you on the go, and it should be able to fit in whatever you want to carry it around in.
