USB Flash Drives Still A Present Reality

It's true that we live in an ever-changing world of technology where that latest innovations can be hot one year and out of use the next. But what's fascinating is that USB flash drives have been around for over a decade now and still make up a huge part of our lives today.

There's something so simple about having gigabytes of data on a small thumb drive that fits on your keyring and taking that with you to and from work. So with this in mind, companies everywhere are still investing in custom USB drives left right and centre. Don't believe any rumour that USB's are on the way out - we can personally vouch for their popularity!

It's often said that personal hardware storage of data is being slowly phased out with the introduction of the cloud. Yet this undermines a certain aspect of human nature. That is that we like to physically see and touch our possessions to know that they are safe and secure. This is a huge plus for flash drives everywhere as people know and take comfort from the fact that their data is always with them. And it's also safer in this way because how do you access your data on the cloud without an internet connection?

All these reasons plus many more make USBs a strong contender for data storage and security over the foreseeable future and thus make them still a very popular and worthy promotional product for your marketing ambitions.
