Although cloud storage has become a convenient way to store and access your files, it still has major drawbacks. With high prices, a dependency on the service provider, network access, and finicky speeds, many people still turn to USB flash drives as a reliable way to store and transport files.
Thankfully, USB flash drives have come a long way since the chunky blocks people used to carry around in their backpacks. Today, decently priced flash drives with a very usable amount of storage can be the size of a coin, and fit seamlessly on your keychain for easy transportation to and from work or school.
We’ve pulled the highest reviewed mini USB flash drives from Amazon and put together this list of the top 7. Most are waterproof, shockproof, and dustproof, and all have between 8 and 32GB of storage (for more storage, check out our 4 best hard drive list).
