USB Flash Drive - Which one?

[KuWa]

So I recently purchased an Ouya and I'm really happy with it.
I use it to emulate old games and I'm now looking to expand those 8 GB of disk space.
I've looked at one called "SanDisk Ultra Fit" and I'm wondering If that one works? Has anyone used the same one, If not then could you please recommend one that works.

Thank you!

Hey KuWa,

I'd say any of the brand name flash drives should be fine. It's the no-brand ones you want to avoid. If the package says anything about including special software, just delete it off on your computer. (I usually reformat and name mine before I do anything anyway, which deletes anything.)

That one looks like it'd be fine. Reviews seem to say that it tends to run on the hot side though. If you're worried about that, the similar SanDisk Cruzer Fit model seems to be mentioned as running better.

I recently got a Cruzer Blade myself, and that seems to be working nicely so far.

Almost any flash drive you can find will work but yeah, should probably avoid no names, some work but you get what you pay for on some of them.

Does writing and the read speed have anything to do with it's performance? Since I'm going to be emulating ROMs of it, does the speed affect that?

I'd like to get something similar for me, at the moment I'm using a 500Gb external hard disc which is doing its job pretty well.

KuWa, as the others told you, you can go with any brand you trust. The recommended specifics were suggested to you by Killswitch with a link a few posts above.

yeah i used an external usb hdd before as well but its just much more comfortable and cleaner with such a tiny usb stick.
