I'm looking for a cheap USB drive for my installation by BootUSB. I want use it only for this job, and I usually install Linux distros.

I have an old 2GB drive but seems slow when it installs. What drive do you suggest? I don't want pay a lot, maximum of €15, and the storage should be 8/16GB (if I use it as virtual CD).

  • In this case you can choose "anything". Tell us more about your price range and storage capacity.

  • Any USB drive that follows the USB mass storage standard (ie. almost every drive ever made) and is large enough meets your needs.

  • I have asked this because I have an old 2GB USB drive, but I think that it goes slow when I install the distros. I want 8Gb (max 16 Gb) drive.
