USB flash pens (AKA USB flash drives) are a form of removable data storage. This means that you can write and store data (documents, music, video, pictures and other files) on them using your computer, then remove them and read that data in another computer. This makes them perfect for transferring data without too much hassle!
And they’re affordable as well- typical pen drives cost between £3 and £20, and they can be used countless times! You’ll almost certainly upgrade to a newer model before they wear out.

We sometimes get asked by our customers questions like “What is the biggest size CD-R you can get?” or “What is the largest DVD out there?” Other times they just want to know how they can store more on their discs.
 Well, it all depends on what you mean by “large”. As far as the actual physical dimensions of the discs go, there are two standard sizes for CD, DVD and Blu-Ray media- full-size (12cm) discs and “mini” (8cm) discs. See our other blog article for more detail on this.
If you wanted to know how you can store more data on your discs, read on.

 It’s no secret that Verbatim’s Dual Layer DVDs (such as this 10 pack, Code:43666 and this 25 pack, Code:43667) are probably the best choice for backing up game discs. They’ve got great compatibility with the widest range of drives, particularly when burned at the slower 4x speed.
Just one snag- while a lot of our customers love Verbatim’s quality, they’re less keen on the price. Even with the benefit of Disk Depot’s rock-bottom prices, Verbatim are never the cheapest on the block. Is there an alternative?
