USB pen drives are a type of portable flash storage device that are commonly used to transfer files between devices such as tablets, laptops, desktop PCs and larger storage devices.

All feature a USB-A or a USB-C type interface but speeds will vary on the generation - USB 3.0 up to 5Gb/s, USB 3.1 up to 10Gb/s and USB 3.2 up to 20Gb/s.

Some USB pen drives are built for their compact size, whereas other offer ruggedised protection.
