Since 2015, MacBooks have only featured USB Type-C ports, so if you want a USB flash drive to use with a 2015 or newer MacBook, you'll need a USB Type-C memory stick. However, things get a bit complicated with Apple MacBooks.
Usb 3.0 flash drive for mac Pc#
This plug type has been around since the dawn of the original USB standard way back in 1996, so pretty much any PC you're likely to come across now will have at least one USB Type-A port you can plug a USB Type-A flash drive in to. Most flash drives still use the older, rectangular USB Type-A plug. The physical USB connector on the end of a flash drive is another thing to consider. What is clear is that no matter what USB 3.x label your chosen flash drive has, it'll be backward compatible with USB 2.0 ports on older computers, though speed will be limited to under 60MB/s (for this reason, don't even consider cheaping-out on a USB 2.0 flash drive - it just isn't worth it when transfer speeds will be so achingly slow).
Yup, we're just as confused by that as you. The original USB 3.0 standard has been re-numbered twice over the years, yet nothing technical changed. Some manufacturers may advertise their drives as USB 3.1, or USB 3.0, but it's all the same speed. USB flash drives almost always use the USB 3.2 Gen 1 USB connection speed, which at 625 megabytes per second is fast enough to let even the fastest USB flash drives run at max speed.
