Ntfs formatted 32g flash drve?

I just created a recovery drive for my Windows 10 PC. I used a 32 GB Toshiba flash drive, which had more than enough capacity for the job. I forgot what I paid, but it was pretty reasonable.

Moved from Tech Issues forum.

On Amazon.com, you can buy 3 of the 500 GB sticks for less than 1 of the 1 TB sticks.

The price will probably come down soon. 1TB SSD drives were very pricey when they first came out. Now they go for under $350.

Yep, definitely pricey! :E :B

I expect prices to come down though, as production efficiency and demand go up. Just as the early 1GB sticks did...

Those are ssd , installed in pc
Not external USB for backup

And way pricey, can buy a new pc for less $$

You might want to check again Mr. Wizard, what Dutch linked to are USB 3.0 external flash drives. Yes, Kingston makes a HyperX Predator line of SSDs, but that's not what he linked to.

I have a Windows 10 backup of its hard drive, including a recent Office, Firefox and little else on my Terabyte drive. The backup folder is 48 GB.

The device at the bottom of the photo is the Predator USB 1TB flash drive. The box at the top is the fancy tin it comes packed in along with the mini-extension cable and key chain clip.

it will all be free space, (except for needed overhead) once you reformat
and yes, that should be more than enough room to "backup files" 14.2 GB

your OP said "backup computer"

sorry big difference between backup some files, and back up the computer

My computer is in "fix it" mode (my term) so I can't format a flash drive but will find a friend's computer to do this. My "backup files?" repair prompt says there are 14.2g of files to backup ..... so my assumption is my 32g flash drive will work. There is about 30g free space on this flash drive.
