I am looking to purchase an 8GB USB Flash drive to transfer movies, tv shows, music, documents, photos, etc. from one macbook to another. I want to purchase the USB from Amazon.com since I feel that they always have great deals. Any ideas or suggestions on what specifically I should be looking for in a drive before I select one? FAT32 VS NFTS?
I want:
Good writing speed, I want to be able to transfer 300mb of media all at once within a matter of minutes and not hours.
Be able to transfer between a minimum of 2 computers (both being mac laptops). Might include a 3rd, being my PC desktop.
Good for the price. Don't want to spend over $15 for a single 8GB.
I don't care about:
The way it looks or how it's designed.
Keychain ring or portable or water resistant.
Undecided about:
Protection software and password encryptions. I wouldn't mind such aspects on a USB as long as it doesnt cause a fuss between my 2 macs. If its easy to use, that would be a plus!
Some I had in mind:
Amazon.com: Kingston DataTraveler 8 GB High-Speed USB Flash Drive DTIG3/8GBZ, White and Yellow: Electronics (write speed seems slow)
Amazon.com: Kingston Digital DataTraveler 101 Generation 2 - 8 GB Flash Drive DT101G2/8GBZET: Electronics (seems to have better ratings than its stats)
If you have any experiences, advice, suggestions, etc. please let me know! I really appreciate anyone who takes the time to read and answer my post. Thank you dearly!
