Apacer AH156 32Gb

New destination

In recent years, USB flash drives have practically ceased to be used by their classic name — transferring files from one PC to another, for example, between a laptop and a desktop. The same is easier and faster to do through cloud storage. However, for a number of tasks, a fast compact USB 3.1 flash drive, like the Apacer AH156, still has no alternative.

Help out in case of failure

For example, without a flash drive, it will not be possible to install the operating system on a laptop without a DVD drive, and these are now the vast majority. Yes, and if you have a drive, Windows or Linux will be installed from a USB flash drive many times faster than from a laser disc. So, the read speed of Apacer AH156 is 45-60 Mbps depending on the volume, and the write speed is 30 Mbps. The speed is solid, but far from record-breaking, but it's foolish to expect more from a miniature flash drive that hardly protrudes from the USB port. If you still need a faster flash drive (around 100 MB / s), you will have to sacrifice size.

Save files

Even if your laptop or PC came with an operating system already installed, no one is immune from a software failure, after which the OS will refuse to boot. Here again, a flash drive with pre-recorded recovery utilities will come to the rescue. Also, if you accidentally deleted an important file, it is recommended to carry out the procedure for restoring it by booting from a USB flash drive, so as not to accidentally overwrite it with other data.

Always with you

As a result, Apacer AH156, like any USB flash drive, may not be the device that you will use on a daily basis, but it is still worth keeping it at hand in case of an unforeseen situation. Fortunately, the ultra-small dimensions allow you to fix it, for example, as a keychain on a bunch of keys: it will not interfere, it looks harmonious.
