USB flash drives, or pendrives, are devices that greatly facilitate personal and work performance. To acquire them, it is important to take into account certain characteristics that guarantee correct performance and high efficiency.

Compact or larger

Normally, pendrives are small, not exceeding six centimeters in length. But this can vary and has nothing to do with greater or lesser capacity or performance. These characteristics should be consulted by the interested party in the store where they go to buy the device. A small device may offer greater capacity and faster data transfer than a standard-sized pendrive, or the situation may be the other way around. The customer should inquire about the issue before purchasing.

The brand does matter

In the case of USB flash drives, the brand does matter. The ideal is to know what each company in the technology sector offers. Likewise, those that are available on the market, which include ScanDisk, Verbatim or Kingston.

Connectivity

Before buying a USB memory, it is important to know the type of connectivity of the devices you want to use them on. It is also necessary to know which ones are compatible with the computer’s operating system; that is, Windows, Linux, macOS, among others. In any case, the customer must be clear about whether they require a USB 2.0, USB 3.0 or Type C memory, since the reading and writing speed will depend on it. A USB 2.0 can offer 28 MB/s in sequential reading and 28 MB/s in sequential reading. Memory 3.0 60 MB/s read and 20 MB/s write speeds. While Type C can offer 1,000 MB/s in reading and 900 MB/s in writing.

Device Durability

The useful life of a pendrive is determined by features such as resistance to dust and water, or reinforcement, which prevents it from being damaged in the event of falls, steps on or similar damage. Additional protection, for sensitive data or data that warrants confidentiality, is encryption and password protection. This functionality allows the files to remain inviolable in the event of theft or loss of the pendrive.

Check the warranty

What a store clerk says about the flash drives on display may be true, as may be part of the advertising to encourage purchase. It is essential to investigate the brand of the pendrive and verify how much of the warranty it offers for each product. Some manufacturers offer three years of warranty, others five years, like Samsung. The user will select the one that best suits them according to their technological requirements.

La entrada Features to consider in a USB memory apareció primero en Bitfinance.

The American company Intel exhibited its new line of 12th generation Intel Core laptop processors for the P and U series, which will be available from March, offering higher performance and productivity than the previous ones.

The first terminals with Intel chips will be manufactured by the companies Acer, Asus, Dell, Fujitsu, HP, Lenovo, LG, MSI, NEC and Samsung and based on a “hybrid performance architecture of the brand, with a combination of performance cores (P cores) and efficient cores (E cores),” the company explained in a statement.

P-series and U-series feature 14-core, 6-core P, and 8-core E architecture, Intel Iris Xe graphics developed with up to 96 execution units, memory support for DDR5/LPDDR5 and DDR4/LPDDR4, and scaling with multi-threaded performance 70% faster. With this architecture, workloads, video calls, browsing, photo editing, are distributed in the most suitable core, for optimal multitasking with Intel Thread Director technology in the Windows 11 operating system, allowing better CPU performance.

The chips have twice the performance for 3D rendering, with greater productivity in photo editing and 30% faster Intel WiFi 6E technology, which facilitate integration and wireless performance, reliability, and responsiveness. Additionally, they have Intel’s universal cable connectivity system, Thunderbolt 4, and Intel IPU 6.0, facilitating very high quality images and videoconferences.

Intel-Evo smart collaboration

The company also announced that Intel Evo-branded notebook designs will be subjected to intense workloads, explaining that the platform will check system requirements such as battery life, as well as the latest update called Intelligent Collaboration that ensures better experience “with artificial intelligence in collaborative applications such as video conferencing”.

The company estimates more than 100 Intel Evo verified systems during 2022 with devices that for the first time include foldable screens and 12th Gen Intel Core H-series designs. It is also expected that Thunderbolt monitors, docks, storage and Bluetooth headsets come together to the line of accessories that are part of the program, with brands such as Poly, Anker, Kensington, Dell, HP, Belkin, Samsung, Sabrent or OWC.
