But regardless of which USB drive you select, it should hold every file you care about in a simple, easy-to-use package. They vary by price, format, speed, physical size and storage size. To help you choose the best USB memory stick, here are 10 of our favorites.

If anyone could point me in the right direction I'd be thankful.If you've got a drive with a rounded USB-C connector instead, you'll be able to use it with newer Android smartphones and tablets, plus recent Macs and even some of the newest iPads.

I would like to know how to solve this issue, as this whole process has taken over 2 months and honestly it's been a nightmare. Under the Logical Drive box, it shows File System NFTS, total space 34.37gb, and 1.05 gb free space. Then I downloaded the Western Digital Diagnostics software, and under the Physical Drive box, it recognizes the model and its potential capacity (500gb). Then I discovered that Windows shows the hard drive as 32 gigs, with less than a gig free. That said, I was frustrated but content with just re-installing everything. Now I am left with a Windows install with absolutely no additional software on it. Eventually I realized it was the HP File Based Installer program that was causing this, so I managed to get to msconfig before the message popped up, and disable it from the startup. This would happen every time I restarted the computer.

Upon entering Windows after the recovery, a window popped up and said "Unrecoverable Error Has Occured" and prompted me to shut off the laptop. Installed both recovery discs purchased from HP. I purchased a WD Scorpio Black 500GB WD5000BPKT to replace. The original WD25-BEVS hard drive failed. I own a HP Pavilion dv6830us laptop w/ Windows Vista Home Premium purchased a couple years ago.
