What is the best Price/GB valuation for USB 3.0 Flash Drives??

New Egg and Amazon has tons of USB 3.0 in GB's from 10GB to nearly 1 TB but what is the best price point?

 

In other words. Suppose I buy a USB 3.0 64GB flash drive for $40 but also buy a USB 3.0 128GB for $70?

Obviously the $70 is better since per GB it is less money. But how can I quickly do the calculation for dozens or nearly 100 USB Drives?

 

URL for online program to do this for me or?

 

thanks for reading this.

I'd just pick something from a reputable company, and then find the cheapest price. Too high of a chance of you getting something fake if you go with any random company. Sandisk has always been solid for me. I'm not sure why you need to do the calculation on that many items. Figure out the size you want and go from there.

I'd guess its probably a smaller flash drive like some no name 8gb that costs like 2 dollars.

 

But yeah do what @dizmo says unless your building like a huge flashdrive raid or something.

If that is what your doing then you could prob make like a python script or something to calculate the absolute cheapest per gb price.

I'd avoid them at all cost.

I have like 20 of them,and speed specs on them are pure cheat on us users.

The better option is to by some small SSD like 128 GB or depending what capacity you need and 2.5 " external enclosure.

You would hit better speed on that and better endurance.

Avoid flash drives they are not worth it and prone to failures.

 

Please do not take offence for my apparent confusion or rudeness,it's not intent me to be like that,it's just my BPD,be nice to me,and I'll return twice better,be rude and usually I get easly pissed of...I'll try to help anyone here,as long as it's something I dealt with,and even if you think I'm rude or not polite,forgive me,  it's not me it's my BPD.

Thanks for understanding.
