Where can I get a USB stick with a write protect switch.
Hi
I need to repair a computer which has several software problems, including files which need recovering.
The computer may or may not have a virus.
I have assorted repair software including virus scanners which I can run from a USB stick, but I don't want to run the risk of the files on the USB stick getting corrupted or infected.
Several years ago USB sticks often had write protect switches, but all of the modern drives I've seen don't have switches and the last stick I had with a switch died a few weeks ago.
Do any of you know of a brand/model of USB stick which still has a write protect switch?
It needs to be a minimum of 4GB but ideally larger.
If all else fails most SD cards have write protect switches but I'd prefer a dedicated USB drive rather than a card and a reader.
