Flash memory is only made by a few manufacturers and they control the prices. Flash memory chips are in everyday items like your refrigerator, TV, car, stereo and IPods. The demand for the components is huge and the supply is limited. 80% of a flash drive’s cost is determined by the cost of the memory chip.
Japan makes most of the components, so the Tsunami last year drove the price up for a while due to shortages in manufacturing.
A flash drive is a small solid state memory device that is similar to your computers hard drive because it can hold any kind of information such as pictures, songs and written documents. Flash drives unlike your computer are mobile and unlike paper can store large amounts of data in a small compact easy to carry space. Unlike your computer, a quality flash drive won’t crash or break your arm carrying documents to a meeting; everything you might need at the click of a key.
Flash drives are also popular for their green component. Users are saving a lot of paper when downloading magazines and reports onto the flash drive.
Tech folks will like knowing quality flash drives are RoHS and WEEE compliant.
Many flash drives offered online come with hidden dangers. Specifically, reduced memory; an issue with 40% of the chips sold holding only 60% of the memory that should be installed. These reclaimed chips are sold in the open market for around 5 cents. Some online companies use software that allows them to take small chips and overwrite the memory to make it look like for example a 1 GB flash drive. This is why you need to make sure you are buying quality flash drives and compare pricing “apples to apples.”
We avoid quality issues by only purchasing from companies that sell Grade A-tier 1 certificate flash drives because they reliant and guarantee their full memory.

What size to order?
· Did you know that a 4 GB flash drive can hold every National Geographic Magazine ever published?
· Did you know that a 4 GB flash drive can hold every page of the 2009 Federal Budget Report and still have plenty of room left on it for more data?
· 1G is the most popular order we have, but unless you have large volumes of documents you will be fine with smaller memory.
