Verbatim Smart 8GB USB 2.0 Drive

The Verbatim Smart 97088 is an 8GB USB 2.0 flash drive built for everyday file transport. It suits students and office workers who need a simple way to move documents, photos or small media between computers. The compact blue housing measures 74 x 21 x 11mm and weighs 8.98g.

Cap-less retractable connector

A sliding mechanism hides the USB plug inside the body so there is no removable cap to lose. Installation is driver-free on modern operating systems; just slide the connector out and insert it into any USB port. The only common issue is physical damage to the slider if the drive is forced into a tight port.

USB 2.0 transfer ceiling

The USB 2.0 interface caps real-world throughput well below the speeds of USB 3.0 or newer standards. Large video files or full system backups will take noticeably longer to copy. Buyers who need rapid transfers of multi-gigabyte datasets should consider a faster interface.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the drive is working after plugging it into a USB 2.0 port?

The operating system should recognise an 8GB removable drive and allow you to copy files to it; the blue LED will light during activity.

What comes in the box and is a separate cap required?

The drive itself is supplied; its retractable housing protects the connector so no separate cap is needed.

Which capacity should I choose from the 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB and 128GB options?

Pick 8GB for documents and a few photos, 16GB or 32GB for larger media libraries, and 64GB or 128GB for video or full system backups.
