USB drive

I am considering on buying usb drive for file storage. My laptop is starting to get slow and i need to take some of my files out. Husband says, he has to do a system recovery but i did not agree the idea since it will delete all of the files including the pictures. The custom usb drives is a lot nicer than the regular ones. I looked at it online and the prices are very affordable. Their are also plenty of unique designs to choose from. The heart-shaped is just so appealing to me. With the price of under $9, i will definitely buy them.
