Master these key points to make your USB flash drive smoother and smoother!

In daily study, work and life, USB flash drive can be our powerful assistant, helping us store and transfer all kinds of important documents. But as we use it for a long time, sometimes we find that the USB flash drive becomes more and more stuck, and the read and write speed is much worse than before.
Don't worry, today I will share with you some practical tips to let your USB flash drive get back to a smooth "good state" and continue to serve you efficiently!

Win10 version 1809 and earlier systems, every time you use the USB flash drive, don't just unplug it from the computer interface, be sure to select the "Safe Eject" or "Eject Device" option in the computer system (in the Windows system, usually find the corresponding U disk icon in the taskbar in the lower right corner, right-click to see this operation; On Mac, click the USB stick icon in the "Finder" sidebar and select "Eject"). Wait for the system to indicate that it can be safely unplugged, and then gently remove the USB flash drive. This is to avoid sudden power loss of the USB flash drive during the process of reading and writing data transmission, resulting in file damage or USB flash drive failure.
In fact, in the early Windows system, when the system wanted to write data to the USB flash drive, it would first write the data to the temporary cache, and then write it to the USB flash drive after the cache was completed. In this write mode, if you unplug the USB flash drive without first clicking "Safely eject hardware", it is likely to cause data loss problems.

After the Win10 system was updated to version 1809, Microsoft changed the default data writing method. When the system transfers data to the USB flash drive, the data will be written directly to the USB flash drive. Cancels the step of writing data to the temporary cache, avoiding data loss caused by directly unplugging the USB flash drive. Therefore, in the latest version of Windows system, after the data transfer is completed, the USB flash drive can be directly unplugged.

After the Win10 1809 version, the system transmits data to the USB flash drive, it will be written directly to the USB flash drive, canceling the data cache step, which also directly avoids the loss of USB disk data caused by directly unplugging the USB flash drive, so the system after this version can directly unplug the USB flash drive.

Some users may have such doubts, obviously it is USB3.0, USB3.2 USB flash drive, the marked transmission speed should be 500mb/s, but why is the transmission speed sometimes very slow? Here I will share with you the tips to increase the transfer rate of USB flash drives.
At present, the USB3.0 interface is more commonly used, and it is backward compatible with USB2.0, so if you want the transfer speed of USB3.0, you still have to use the USB3.0 standard port. If the access port and USB flash drive are both USB2.0, then the transfer speed can only be USB2.0 speed!
So how to distinguish between USB2.0 and USB3.0, generally you only need to observe the color of the computer USB interface, black and white are generally 2.0 speed, blue is 3.0 speed, you just need to remember this, the version can solve 99% of the speed problem!

As a tool for storing and exchanging data in our daily life, the application environment is complex, and it is indeed easy to be targeted by viruses, so we must take precautions and back up important files in time. Here is also to share with you a USB flash drive anti-poisoning tips.

(1) You can create a new text document in the U disk first, and the file suffix needs to be displayed;
(2) Then rename the document to "autorun.inf", be sure to remember to modify the suffix;
(3) Next, right-click on the document attributes, tick read-only and hide in the regular attributes, and finally click OK.
You may wonder what the principle is, but in fact, this operation takes advantage of the simple logic of the virus. When most viruses invade the USB flash drive, they will create an autorun.inf file in the USB flash drive, and then implant the virus path into the program, and then start to destroy it. And we know that there can be no two files with the same name in the same folder at the same time, if we create an empty autorun.inf file in advance, when the subsequent virus wants to invade your USB flash drive, it will naturally not be created.
If your USB flash drive can't create an autorun.inf file, then it is estimated that you have won the lottery, hurry up and go to the antivirus!
