I also used my trusty label maker to mark it as the “BOOT” drive. It’s more convenient to have both ports, and if I’m working on a PC at someone else’s home, I don’t have to remember to bring adapters. The important feature for me is that it has both USB Type-A and USB Type-C connectors - I use a mix of new and old computers, some of which only have the older Type-A, and some that only have the newer Type-C. I didn’t have a spare flash drive already, so I ended up purchasing a 256 GB SanDisk Dual Drive Go, which happens to be one of our picks for the best USB flash drive.
