I like using TOUGH & HUGE storage Corsair (SP?) Thumb Drives, but the last one got malware issue & before I discovered it infected my old LT.

What are the best thumb drives, by TOUGHNESS & LARGE STORAGE SPACE?

Are there any Thumb Drives that have Protection Software Already Installed in Them?

There are indeed thumb drives with proprietary encryption software on them. I personally wouldn't trust them over something like Veracrypt though, which is supported on almost any OS/device you'd ever need to use.

If when saying "protection" you don't mean encryption and instead something else, then idk.

I just want to find a thumb drive(s) that can not only by water proof, huge storage space. like Corsair (SP?), but also protected as well as the LT Inwill use with.

What do you mean by idk?

IDK meaning "I don't know."

Can you elaborate on what you mean by "protection"? Encryption? Write protection? Anti-virus?
