I'm a university student and one of my classes requires a flash drive that is exFAT formatted, has at least 64 GB of space, and is USB 3.0 or faster. I'm a bit lost and would like to know what this all means. Is there a specific type or brand I should buy? Can I find one on Amazon or Walmart? Any guidance would be appreciated!

You don't need to stress too much about the type of flash drive you buy. The main things to focus on are getting a USB flash drive that is at least 64 GB in size and supports USB 3.0 or faster. The 'exFAT' format is pretty common and most drives can be formatted to it, so you're not restricted to a specific product. Also, having both USB-A and USB-C connectors can be handy for compatibility with different devices, but if you get one with just one type, adapters are cheap and available.
Exactly! Just double-check that the drive you choose has the storage and speed you need. Formatting it to exFAT is super easy; you can find instructional videos on YouTube if you need help.
