One last thing to note is that if you need more than 256GB capacity, you're out of luck here вЂ“ that's as high as the Samsung DUO Plus goes. Let's not get carried away though these are all impressive transfer speeds. Though bear in mind this is a little dependent on capacity вЂ“ it's only the 256GB and 128GB versions that can achieve these snappy speeds, with the 64GB topping out at 300 MB/s and the 32GB base model managing a maximum of 200 MB/s. The Samsung DUO Plus is also nice and speedy, with transfer speeds comparable to the SanDisk option, making it up to 400 MB/s. It has both the smaller USB-C connector and a built-in adapter for the older Type-A connectors, so you won't be caught out if you suddenly need to get your data onto a machine with limited ports.

If you do want to take advantage of the newer, faster USB-C connector, then the Samsung DUO Plus is a great option.

One thing to bear in mind is that the SanDisk Extreme PRO USB 3.2 Solid State Flash Drive doesn't have a USB-C connection, just the old-style USB-A, so double check your computer still uses the old ports (though adapters are available in a pinch).

If you get it in a big enough capacity (it goes up to 1TB), it's a credible alternative to a portable SSD. If you need something to transfer large video files on and off, this is a workable option that won't have you spending too much of your life watching the progress bar tick up. It's capable of achieving read and write speeds of 420MB/s and 380 MB/s respectively, and you'll have a job finding a flash drive that does better than this. It accomplishes these things in exemplary fashion, and is our number-one choice for the best flash drive for most users. Just like SanDisk's 'Extreme Pro' SD cards, the SanDisk Extreme PRO USB 3.2 Solid State Flash Drive is made to do two things: transfer data quickly, and keep data safe. USB-C is faster in any case, so it's good to use it if you can. But some newer drives also offer a USB-C interface, the newer, smaller type of plug, which you may need if you're using an older laptop like a recent MacBook, which doesn't have USB-A ports. The typical image of a flash drive is one using the old style of USB-A plug вЂ“ the kind that always has to be rotated three times before it'll go in (no one knows why). The best flash drives aren't too expensive, so it's worth getting something worthwhile from a reputable brand. Go too cheap and you not only will get something with minimal capacity and sluggish transfer speeds, but it might also be vulnerable to data corruption. Some flash drives are incredibly cheap вЂ“ but be wary. A flash drive can't be scuppered by bad Wi-Fi or poor data coverage. And while cloud storage, is convenient and allows you to access your files from anywhere, it also requires an internet connection. Flash drives are smaller than even the best portable SSDs.
