DT´s Flash Drive Blog

Today I will present you with a 3 part series on 32GB flash drives. Previously we had covered 256GB, 128GB and 64GB USB Flash Drives. So that means 32GB is the 4th biggest memory capacity available. At the bottom you can find the usual chart telling you how many files you can store with that. But for now let’s get an overview of most of the 32GB models out there.
