Here is the comparison between cloud storage vs. a USB thumb drive.



Below is the list of a general specification of a Usb thumb drive (which may deviate from the specification of different country).

1. Compatibility & Interface

  • USB Interface Type

    • Dual-interface:

      • USB-A + Micro-USB (for older Android devices)

      • USB-A + USB-C (for modern Android and tablets)

      • USB-C + Lightning (for iPhone and iPad Pro)

    • USB Standard: USB 3.0 / 3.1 Gen 1 / 3.2 Gen 1 (faster read/write) or USB 2.0 (slower, cheaper).

  • OTG Support

    • Must support USB OTG to directly connect to smartphones without extra apps (though some proprietary apps may be required for iOS).


2. Storage Capacity

  • Common sizes: 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and up to 1TB.

  • For 4K video and high-res images, 128GB+ is recommended.

  • Check actual usable space (some capacity is reserved for formatting).


3. Data Transfer Speed

  • Read speed: Typically 80–420 MB/s (depends on interface and NAND type).

  • Write speed: Typically 15–200 MB/s.

  • Faster drives often use USB 3.2 and solid-state-grade flash memory.

  • Note: Speeds can drop on mobile due to device limitations.


4. File System

  • FAT32: Most compatible, but max file size is 4GB.

  • exFAT: Best for large files (>4GB), works with most modern devices.

  • NTFS: Works with Windows but may need special apps for Android/iOS.


5. Build & Design

  • Material: Plastic (lightweight), aluminum (durable, heat dissipation), zinc alloy (premium feel).

  • Swivel cover or sliding connector for protection.

  • Mini keyring hole for portability.

  • Capless design to prevent losing covers.

  • 360° rotating connector for dual-interface models.


6. Additional Features

  • Password protection & encryption: AES 128/256-bit for security.

  • App integration: Manufacturer apps for backup, file management (e.g., SanDisk Memory Zone, iXpand Drive).

  • Automatic backup: Photos, videos, contacts.

  • LED activity indicator: Shows transfer in progress.

  • Waterproof / Shockproof / Dustproof: For durability.

  • Heat resistance: Ensures stable operation during long transfers.


7. Dimensions & Weight

  • Length: ~30–70 mm

  • Width: ~12–20 mm

  • Thickness: ~5–10 mm

  • Weight: 5–20 grams (varies by material and design)


8. Power & Operating Environment

  • Power supply: Draws directly from smartphone or PC, no battery needed.

  • Operating temperature: 0°C to 60°C (32°F to 140°F).

  • Storage temperature: -20°C to 85°C (-4°F to 185°F).
