Everyday portable storage
The Verbatim 98748 provides 16 GB of capacity in a metal executive housing. It connects through a USB 2.0 interface for broad compatibility with current and older hosts. The drive suits users who need a simple, durable way to move documents and media between devices. No software installation is required for basic operation.
Replaces smaller or slower thumb drives
Upgrading from a lower-capacity stick or an older USB 1.x device gives more room for files and a sturdier build. The jump is worthwhile when you regularly hit space limits on an 8 GB drive or need the metal casing for daily carry. It does not serve buyers who want more storage than 16 GB or who require USB 3.x transfer speeds.
Steady performance on long copies
Under sustained write loads the USB 2.0 bus settles at its rated throughput rather than peak burst rates. The metal body helps dissipate heat during extended transfers of large folders. Expect consistent behaviour for sequential file moves without the slowdown seen on some plastic drives that throttle. Heavy multi-gigabyte jobs complete at the interface’s natural pace.
