Where to get a free flash drive

Where to get a free flash drive

Kevin Kevin

If you are on a tight budget, then surely you will appreciate the inherent value of freebies. One ubiquitous freebie happens to be a flash drive. Many companies give free portable USB (Universal Serial Bus) drives every single day. This article will demonstrate how to find such give-aways and use them to your advantage. Note that sometimes, free flash drives are infected, so only get them from sources that you consider reliable.

Methods not involving the internet

Promotions The first main way to get free flash drives is to keep your eyes open for promotions in well populated areas, like High Street, etc. Many times, as part of grand openings of electronics and computer stores, the owners will give out free flash drives. Normally, these flash drives will have their logo on the outside, thus giving them free advertising, while giving you an absolutely free flash drive.
Library Another way to get these nifty devices is through some libraries. Often, libraries will have government subsidised products, such as flash drives, that are either available for free or extremely cheap. Note that not every library has this funding, and if you want any chance at all to find such a deal, you will need to make sure that you visit a publicly funded library.

Online promotions

Another way to get free flash drives is to take advantage of Internet site promotions. Note that with this type of obtainment, you should always make sure that you are using a reliable source. Often, these are scams which cannot be trusted upon. The supporters of the promotion often just want your address to be able to sell to marketers and spammers. Sometimes, these promotions actually send you a free flash drive. However, sometimes, when you put their thumb drives into your computer, it ends up infecting your PC. Hence, you will land up expending a lot more than it would just to go to the store and buy one. It is, therefore, always smarter to only take advantage of these offers from companies that you have heard of in the past, such as HP. There is little to no danger with these promotions, however few and far in between they may be. Just keep your eye out for these.
