Even in today’s connected world and multitude of cloud offerings, I continue to have a need for simple, portable USB storage. I find them especially useful when the files you need to share are large and upload bandwidth is limited. Also, as a small business, a USB drive with your logo and branding make for a nice marketing handout.

I got a set of USB drives from USB Memory Direct and am quite happy with the experience.  The folks there were also quite helpful during the ordering process, with mockups and suggestions on which drives would best suit my logo. The drives arrived very well packed - and individually wrapped. No dings or scratches in the shipping process!

I was tempted to get one of the wooden styles like the Tower or the Book. They stand apart and are quite elegant. I also like the idea of having a library of photography training material on a book-shaped memory stick, too!

Ultimately, I opted for the Pivot drive because it has both USB-A and USB-C connectors. No worries about adapters or giving someone a USB stick they can’t use. A nice touch is when rotating the drive between the two connectors, it snaps securely into place. It’s not free floating and doesn’t wobble or rotate when inserting. I appreciate that attention to detail.

Thought I’d pass this along for anyone looking for branded USB drives to support their own business. If you are in the market, check out USB Memory Direct.
