## Description

16GB FlashBlu30

Review: Very durable, fast USB flash drive with read & write lock on it - I bought one over 6 years ago and it is still going! It has the ability to be locked in a "read only" mode so you can't get a virus from a computer that has one even if you stick this USB drive in it and copy files off of the USB stick or run apps directly from it. Only issue is that this brand is very expensive, but has solid build quality that does last. They have not come down in price over the years, they have become even more expensive. Many other USB flash drives I have used are very cheaply made and tend to break after a year or two of use. This one has an aluminum shell, led activity light on the end of it, and a cap to prevent dust and dirt from getting into the end. A must have in a world full of viruses.
Review: Best for USB car music - I used to upload lot of MP3 to standard USB flash drive and use it in the car. What ends up happening is in a week or two the MP3 music in the flash drive gets corrupted because when you turn off the car it doesn't unmount the USB drive safely instead it just shuts off the computer. Remember I don't touch the USB drive when I shut off my car it stays exactly where it is plugged in. Then I bought this USB flash drive uploaded all my music then flipped the read only lock, now I don't have to worry about my music getting corrupted. It's been 2 months and so far and all the musics are just fine. It was 7° f outside freezing cold still the USB flash drive worked just fine.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: most write protect switches are "advisory" and enforced by the computer OS.  does this actually disable write at the usb flash drive level?**
A: It physically stops writing and has saved me countless times from viruses.

**Q: what is a read-only flash drive?**
A: The flash drive is actually conditionally read-only, depending upon the position of the read-only switch.  In the read-only position, the drive cane be read from but not written to -- this is useful if you want to use it to store a clean copy of an operating system installation disk (especially since a fair number of modern computers do not have a CD/DVD/BluRay drive, let alone floppy drive, that would have served the same purpose in past years) -- you never know when you might need this if your computer develops a persistent crash or virus/worm/Trojan horse infection.  In the other position, the drive can be written to -- this is how you put the clean copy of the operating system installation disk (or whatever) on there in the first place (from a known good system).

**Q: What is the capacity of this drive?**
A: 16 GB
