You know there was a point in the history of computers where the people making them never expected anyone to need much storage for these things. Now it feels like no matter how much storage you add, there's never enough. And with computers now including everything from phones to tablets to gaming consoles, storage is becoming even more important. Heck, even if you use a fancy Chromebook that's designed to utilize Cloud services, you still on occasion need some portable storage or a quick way to transfer things between machines.

That's where the best USB flash drives come in. These devices have the advantage of being relatively small compared to most storage, which makes them portable and often very durable. You can have one or two in your backpack for any time you're on the move and need to take some media with you. Plus, these days the storage capacities are huge so they can carry anything you're throwing at them. These are great for moving files from one machine to the next, keeping your favorite photos and videos on you at all times, or for transferring profiles, apps, and games between similar machines.
