HI there, I was wondering what Flash Drive Manufacture and size of the USB Flash, would you guys recommend? Any help is greatly appreciated. TIA

If you have a thunderbolt port I would go that route.

I just bought a SanDisk 128GB USB 3.0 drive for $12.99 on sale, at the store with the big yellow price-tag-shaped sign. IIRC the 256GB drive was not quite twice that. Pretty good prices; may still be on sale.

EDIT: I just looked… $17.99 for the 128GB and $29.99 for the 256GB. SanDisk Ultra.

You’re kidding right? I seriously doubt that performance would be acceptable on a USB Flash Drive.

I believe he is referring to initially load the Windows operating system from a flash drive to the system drive when setting up a new system. Google is a better source for answers for doing that and provides links to the image to place on the usb. I had to do it because the dvd I bought was corrupted.
