I like using TOUGH & HUGE storage Corsair (SP?) Thumb Drives, but the last one got malware issue & before I discovered it infected my old LT.

What are the best thumb drives, by TOUGHNESS & LARGE STORAGE SPACE?

Are there any Thumb Drives that have Protection Software Already Installed in Them?

    There are indeed thumb drives with proprietary encryption software on them. I personally wouldn’t trust them over something like Veracrypt though, which is supported on almost any OS/device you’d ever need to use.

    If when saying “protection” you don’t mean encryption and instead something else, then idk.

    There are a few flash drives available with hardware write protection. They are hard to find though. Just set the switch to write protect before plugging it into an untrusted device and nothing can be written to it.
