Weblog Hoe veel data past op een USB-stick?

Als industrieleider in gepersonaliseerde USB-sticks spreken we dagelijks met honderden klanten. Zoals je zou verwachten krijgen we een hoop vragen over onze verschillende modellen, accessoires en waardevermeerderende diensten als data preloading. Maar de meest voorkomende vraag, met een behoorlijke marge is: 'hoe veel data past nou eigenlijk op een USB-stick?'.

Het korte antwoord is: een hoop! Het lange antwoord is dat het afhankelijk is van de gekozen capaciteit. We bieden momenteel 6 verschillende capaciteiten aan, om aan alle eisen te voldoen: 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB and 64GB. Des te hoger de capaciteit, des te meer data er op past.

De onderstaande grafiek geeft aan hoe veel foto's, liedjes en films elke capaciteit kan bevatten.

 Notitie: For de bovenstaande illustratie gaan we uit van een gemiddelde grootte voor foto's van 2 MB, MP3's van 4 MB en video van 500 MB.

Zoals je kunt zien is de 2 GB optie genoeg voor een lichte tot gemiddelde gebruiker. Aan de andere kant van het spectrum is de capaciteit van 64 GB genoeg voor een enorme bibliotheek van afbeeldingen, muziek en video op hun USB.

Ons advies is de USB altijd eentje groter dan je denkt nodig te hebben te nemen. Je zult zien dat er genoeg data op te zetten is! De ontvangers van je gepersonaliseerde USB kunnen de USB's langer gebruiken en zullen je branding elke keer weer zien.

Denk je over het bestellen van gepersonaliseerde USB-sticks?
Neem even kort de tijd om ons contactformulier in te vullen en een van onze contactpersonen neemt gelijk contact op om de verschillende modellen en capaciteiten met je door te nemen.

In my tests, I tested the maximum size of all thumb drives up to 512 GB. However, I was unable to use 1T or anything more than 512 GB because I purchased one 1T and one 16T and they went wrong. They had problems with storage, so you wasted money by 1T to above than 512GB that's a huge problem since you can't download the reader due to game stuffing. :(

Hi Malgorzata,

Thanks for getting in touch.

It depends how patients you'd be doing this for. But I would suggest 128GB. 

It's always better to have more storage space than you may need.

Many thanks,

Hello there , 

We would like to transfer patients extract from the database. Each patient folder store up 1200 - 2000 pages of data .
Would  64GB be enough to store the data or I would need 128GB?

Thank you

I have 774 MB of photos in 5 separate folders on an external drive. What size flash drive would hold all of them? Thanks!!

Hi Cary,

Thanks for your question.

There are a few variables to consider here, including video quality and video compression.

A 16GB Flash Drive 'should' be enough, but I would actually recommend 32GB Flash Drive to be on the safe side. You can then use any excess storage for any additional content you'd like to safely store.

Many thanks,

I have 54 old cassettes I would like to convert, what size USB drive will I need? Thanks

Hi Hunter,

Thanks for your question.

We would recommend either a 4GB or 8GB Flash Drive. The 8GB will obviously give you some extra space, should you need it in the future. 

Many thanks,

Which model of thumb drive would I need to transfer the contents of 5 audiobook CD? Thank you.

Hi Pamela,

Thanks for your question.

6 hours of cassette tape audio would equate to a file size of between 3GB - 4GB.

There are convertor options out there that we're not affiliated with, so we cannot vouch for their quality. Some convertors will transfer the audio file directly to your computer, and then you can transfer from there to a Flash Drive. Other convertors have a USB port that can copy the audio directly to the Flash Drive.

I hope this helps answer your question.

Many thanks,

Chris at Flashbay

I would like to copy 6 hours of cassette tapes of my grandmother telling her life story. What size flash drive do I need to accommodate 6 hours of audio? Is there a cassette player that will transfer directly from cassette to the flash drive?  Then the flash drives can be used in any computer USB port?  Thanks for your help.  Pamela

Hi Phillip,

Thanks for your question. 

Depending on the make and model, you should be able to save apps from your computer to your Flash Drive, assuming there is enough available space to accommodate this. It's best to check the manufacture's website for confirmation of this. 

Many thanks,
